As I said, that would take more manpower than they have. It would be more effort than it's worth to hire more moderators because a minority of the posts are any good. There's a reason they restrict their big community outreach to the developer forums, where people are better informed.

I don't think you understand what I'm getting at. They have enough people so that a few mods can come here. |

A few mods do come here. If they didn't, spam and rule-breaking posts wouldn't be removed. That's all they can manage with (as of last I heard) about 40 mods covering the forums and the rest of the website. It's not feasible for the mods to assess every single post for its legitimacy.

But my point is that spam and bait is never removed! |

Yeah he's right.
Mods only ban trolls if they continue making what they call "bad" content in their trash-posts. Yes, that Poke Fan kid is a good example. But it took him a ton of trash-posts to actually get a t w o week ban.
But seriously, they can afford way more. After all, they've gotten lots of profit from the tix removal, and it wouldn't hurt to just hire a few more mods here.
Well, ESPECIALLY on S&I.

Scrolling through S&I, I see no spam and you can't blame them for how much bait there is. They're a lot of posts and bait is hard to determine as bait from the title, which is most likely what they do because of the small number of mods.
Your idea would be a great one in an ideal world, but unfortunately, this isn't one. As long as Roblox has as few moderators as they have, it's impossible for them to do what you suggest.

Yeah, there are o n e to t w o mods that are in charge of this sub-forum, but all they do is roam it. The main reason Poke Fan was banned was because he was what Roblox thought as a "big threat".

Spam isn't the main issue here. It's bait. Bait is hard to determine, but after a while, you know it's bait. And they have enough mods to come here! |

The mods do roam this sub-forum, and they should be able to determine bait easily after the national_security incident. Everything that starts out with "Hello Roblox, Recently I caught my..." is bait. I've only been on S&I for a few months yet I can tell what's bait and what's not. Meaning the mods can if they actually read threads in-depth.
Question. Do you think they're so poor that they can't hire like t w o more mods to be in charge of this sub-forum?

I'm aware that spam isn't the main issue, but you pointed out that it was prevalent, so I had to address it. You've got to cut them some slack on the bait, most of which gets taken down anyway. As I've mentioned countless times before, they're understaffed and there's not much they can do.

Okay that's it, people with the extreme long siggy need to stop, it's getting annoying. |

First off. Cut it with the absurdly long spaces in your posts.
To get to the question though, I don't think they can't afford it. But, I don't think it's in their best interest to do so because of the posts that are legitimate, very few of them are any good.
In addition, more moderators won't bring the ideas posted in any way closer to the admins, since they're the ones who determine what happens, not the mods. Taking time out of their day to read the forums takes time away from doing things that matter more.

Omg, the mods are the admins. |

No. While there is some overlap among the higher-ranking moderators, most of the mods exclusively moderate. Their engineers make things happen and the admins tell everybody what to do.
As far as I know, anyway.

The mods are the admins, I think. They used to have volunteer mods a while back. Can anybody else confirm for me that mods are admins? |
|

I feel like people here are just ignoring Nova and supporting anyway. Yeesh. |
|

They do have enough admins to come here. Go to the ROBLOX Admins group. They have enough to send a couple here. We don't even need much. Only II. And bait should be removed to let ideas shine through. It doesn't take much to remove bait. They can give players warnings for posting bait. If they continue, they get banned, like that kid Poke. |

It isn't the case. Looking at Roblox on a corporate website, people in administrative positions make about $125,000 a year, fluctuating based on the exact position. If we assume Roblox employs people from 9 to 5, like most jobs, they make about $60 an hour. Moderators make only $10 an hour, according to the same site.
They aren't one and the same because if they were, the jobs wouldn't be split into two separate jobs and the two jobs wouldn't a difference in wage.

If they didn't address bait, Poke wouldn't have been banned.

Actually, they didn't address his bait they only addressed him because he personally attacked Lego on a different sub forum where the admins are ACTUALLY active. |
|

Oops, I mean he personally attacked Veroax. |
