The forum can take a bit of updates, eh? Well, in my opinion. These are the following things that can go with update: -Bold/Italic letters -Signatures -Sample pictures and/or user-created pictures -Resizing letters (optional) -Color3 for letters (optional) -Notifications (Explained below) -Edit threads/posts -Delete Threads/Posts More will be added on later on but this is a list. I've realized other sites have done this already...so why not ROBLOX? Some will require better moderations but i think it will make the forums a little more....fun, i suppose. Notifications (as said above) are supposed to give reminders to people who enter a forum. It will say what this forum is for and what you CANNOT do in this forum. I suggest this because some people forget to read the "pinned" threads above sometimes and post up something that breaks the rules or doesn't refer to the forum they posted it at. It gives out stress to the users to remind them by sending in negative comments. Including this forum. If you don't want those notifications to show up everytime you enter a forum, there will be a little box at the bottem left that will say "Please do not remind me again" The update clears up any threads found in each forum. No, i don't mean that your thread will be deleated. It will just be removed off the forums and when the update has compleated, you can take your forum back up. These ideas were givin to me by several users. I'd give them credit but yet, i forgot their usernames. Whoops. Simple suggestion. Send feedback as always. [Insert Catchphrase here] ~Bvalere

Signatures have been tried and did not work out do to users trying to bypass inappropriate words. Pictures can be made wrong, therefore giving younger users bad influence. Resizing letters would just take up space, caps provides the same result. Bold/Italic letters would just be the same as saying words in capitals to make a point. Color letters really have no use other than to add glamor. Edit threads/posts could hide inappropriate words a user might have said, if the ROBLOX community was more mature that would be fine, but for now, now. Deleting threads & posts should only be a thing moderators should be able to do. Users could hide bad content. We already have rules for the Forums, users should read them. They have the same purpose of notifications. I have given you reasons for each and every single subtopic you have provided and have declined them all. I do not support.

Moderation takes money, ROBLOX has it's HQ in Silicon Valley, a pretty expensive place to be in. To late to change places, the families have already settled in. Plus, game developers require a lot of pay. I would rather see them provide food for their families than useless Forum updates. The mods have enough on their minds besides their jobs too.

The message below was intended to be coloured red, but wasnt due to no coloured writing (im english, hence colour instead of color): But still, the coloured writing and a few smileys coudnt do much harm.

GIVE ME IMPROVED FORUMS, OR RENAME IT B.B.S.! Because it's such a low-grade forum.

BBCode. It allows all these. Also, editing posts is not a bad thing. What if you misspell a word? Hiding bad actions? One can just click on a little drop down arrow that gives you a numbered version of each previous update, with up to 50. Changing it to a higher number would mean an older post, and it would replace the view of the post that you are currently browsing.
