***HEY! LISTEN! DON'T POST A REPLY*** or report... ***UNTIL YOU READ THE ENTIRE POST***
PROBLEM: There are tons of amazing builders and scripters who don't exactly have the most popular places ever. Why, they almost never get to the front page. So, where can they go to get noticed?
ADVERTISING?
Most people just downright ignore ads.
CONTESTS?
The contest system is horribly flawed. Almost all of the contest winners are the exact same place, just a single map.
So, what is this Robloxian to do?
Solution: Free Builder's Club.
That's right. I said it. Free Builder's Club.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "*OLO EVRY1NE SHUD G3T BILDRZ CLUBBEH 4 LAIF!11111111!1!one*"

I'm suggesting we give away free Builder's Club- to one person who displays an incredible ability to build.

----------
The Roblox mods, devs, and admins go through the hundreds of thousands of active users. This will obviously take a LONG time, but it's a better use of time than just sitting there between updates. Next, they nominate a select few people (about twenty-five to fifty) who display outstanding building and scripting skill. They are then asked in the form of a message to create a place set to a certain theme.
I know what you're thinking. "You mean like the CONTEST that anyone can enter?"
Well, kind sir, it'll be exactly like the contest system.
In '08.
----------
The places would be built according to a certain code, following certain rules. The rules will be: (will be updated every four pages)
1. The place MUST begin with an empty baseplate. So, it can't be a premade place. It has to start raw.
2. There can't be any models listed in the public domain models catalog. (for the illiterate: NO FREE MODELS.)
3. The player can't receive any help. I'm not sure how this would work, yet.
----------
I don't think the devs should remove the current contest system (it'll provide people with a source of entertainment for the twenty years it'd take to view every single active users' games). Instead, they should make a new page for the contest. The people of Roblox would be able to vote; first, they'd have to play every single game (it's not that hard to play twenty-five to fifty different games) and then vote their favorite ONE. The voting system for this contest would involve an I.P. scan, so alts can't just play every game then vote for one.
----------
The player who receives the most votes and shows the community that he/she is the best builder would receive a month of Roblox Gold, or, as some would call it, Builder's Club. Obviously, a contest like this would only happen once every few years, so it'd be an incentive for players to improve their skills, thus creating a more skillful Roblox class and better games in general.

*takes off aviators*
The whole point of BC is to bring in revenue, if they give it to one person, more will expect it...
Case has been rested... |
|

If free BC is gonna be give away, Roblox wont be better in the future without any money, and roblox isnt gonna do this suggestion because without money, no better future. |

Sounds reasonable. But, they'd have to hire several people to do the boring work of sitting all day staring at the game pages for weeks on end. |
|

@blo
People will be reasonable if the giving away of Roblox Gold is for a contest meant solely for the best builders. Or not. But it'd take some exceptionally ignorant people to expect to get BC because someone who deserves it does.
@Pinoy
...such as Pinoy here. Poor guy doesn't know how to read forum posts. |

@epic
That's not what I meant at all. |

I have read your proposal, a nice touch of equality since this IS "Builder's Club", but what worries me is the mentality of those who will stop at nothing(like hiring mercenary programmers) to obtain this free BC for the sole purpose of acquiring Robux, so they may sate their vanity and show off their 'superiority' to those who are NBC'ers.
What's that I read? A month only? Well, that seems much fairer than I imagine, but I presume there are still possible setbacks, especially if done by some underground...syndicate. |

Replace Free BC prize with a spot on a new catogory (trolol think of a name yourself) where all the best games get a spot for 3 months) |
|
|
i don't agree because, people could just take others creations and get credit for it. and how could we get modereators to check the creations too. |
