The chat system is a very useful tool, although there is a flaw in it.
With messages, you can set if you want only your friends to be able to message you, followers, or everyone. I believe Chat should have the same option.
To be honest, this feature should have been introduced when "Chat & Party" was. However, besides that, the reason we should be able to Chat people who are not our friends and/or followers is because there is a friend limit, meaning I cannot chat more than 200 people.
Now, not everyone finds this relate-able.
"Well why do you need to chat 200+ people anyways?"
I am the owner of a 300+ member group, and I need to be able to contact my lower ranks.
"Just message them"
Not everyone is my friend, another flaw of the friend limit.
"Why do you need to, anyway?"
Because, I need to get my group active and they don't read the shout (many mistakes of using ads for your group)
"Just promote the active people"
My group is very complex and the promotion system is not only a work in the progress, but also requires certain standards for promotion (And yes, activity is one of them)
I wont cover the entire response list, however the main reason I think we have problems like this is because ROBLOX does not consider groups in most of their decisions, but more of developers.
If we were able to set it to where Followers and random people can chat us, or entirely turn it off at times, (It can be very obnoxious) then I believe the website will improve.
Please list if you support or if you do not, and if you are going to debate, I will do my best to respond.
