I know what you're thinking right now. You're thinking, 'Oh, god, another complainer for Roblox. Get over it.'
I'm not saying Roblox is all bad. It's definately not bad, but even more definately, it is not great. It seems to get far more cons than pros these days and the further we get into the future of Roblox. As the days go on, the bleeker the near days seem to get. I know you guys won't like what I'm about to say, but I'm throwing it out anyways.
Your rival game is winning.
That's right, in my opinion, Block.land is a better game. It's better designed. You can tell he (Badspot, creator, ad.min, AND mod.erator) had been planning that game for ages and ages. You can tell because it's a fantastic game. It has a fantastic community, it has fantastic servers, fantastic features. The users there have been spoiled rotten.
They have teamwork. They have less people working at Block.land and yet they are better off. The features are perfected and flawless, the community is mature and active, the simplicity of it is basic, yet the greatness of it is high. The community is so great, they don't even have moderators. The only one who moderates is the only admin on the site with an account, and he keeps it spic and span. They technically have a 500:1 mod/forumer ratio. But us? We have at least 2,000 forumers and only a handful of mods that hardly moderate at all. My friends did some tests in reality and it took over an hour for an inappropriate thread to be taken care of. The username was also in violation and they got a reminder before a ban.
I ran into a user several months ago with a horrible username. They had been active for over two months, judging by the comments on their place. They had over 100 friends and 200 visits. It shouldn't take that long for an account to be disposed of. If nothing else helps, have a user make a master account and have it be stored on the computer and the database. Under the master account is a limit for three accounts to be made. One master account for every computer or IP address. That would cut down on the spam alts, spam period, and everything else ten fold.

Moderation on Roblox is absolutely horrendous. As I said above about the thread. We need some full time mods around the globe and in different time zones to moderate the forums. We don't have nearly enough. We also need more A-Team mods to take care of idiot accounts.
The mods are also ill informed with each other. One mod will ban for something and another will let it be. I'm sure the admins though them to know the rules of the forums, but what good is it to have mods if they aren't united for the same exact cause? We can basically walk all over them. My fix to this is hire maybe three to five mods at a time, and get them all together. Have a meeting with them on MSN or something and discuss the rules, what to delete, what to keep, what's allowed, what isn't, and so on. Give them a document that explains what the admin just did so they don't forget. It's all too simple but just that effective.
==============================================================
The admins... you guys need to concentrate on developing the game. True, half the people who play Roblox will stay amused for a while with new hats. But it's ruining the point when you make them all for ROBUX. If they could afford Builders Club, they would have it. Any player with Builders Club always has a bit of cash on them. They would trade and buy the hats, just as usual. According to my conclusion, about 1/5 players have Builders Club or Turbo Builders Club. I realize you guys are probably in a financial crCIA right now but you guys are heading right towards bankruptcy.
You guys introduced Turbo Builders Club for extended profits. Maybe one in two users have had BC. Most have cancelled it, judging by how many people I've seen who have ten places but no badge. There goes a bunch of your profit right there. TBC is a total rip off for people who already have had or have BC. It's double the cost for pretty much the same thing except for the places. So you're paying six dollars for 15 places. Monthly. What a deal.
Nobody's going to buy ROBUX unless they have more money than they know what to do with. It's what, six bucks for 200? That's like 33 ROBUX for a dollar. Do you know how rich some of us would be if we could trade our ROBUX in for real cash? And you guys totally screwed that up then.

If you read that, I thank you.
I just need to express my thoughts on the site sometime.
I used to play Roblox a fair amount. But now, I play Blockland as much time as I used to Roblox, and Roblox... never. I just logged on now to check messages and forum posts, and saw that.
IMO, everything there is true.
