Feature Requests Website Features JamienChee (Jamien) January 17, 2018, 9:25pm 1 As a standard Roblox user, I’ve been made aware that unfriending mass amounts of people on the platform is a loathing process.I am proposing that Roblox re-introduces the option to quickly unfriend friends:

According to the image above, unfollowing individuals is made quick and easy. At one point, you were able to unfriend players in the same manner, but…

That feature was taken away some months ago, I have no idea why, if someone can inform me in regards to the premise of the action to take it away, that’d be great.Due to this, people are forced to individually go to the user’s profile, and hit “unfriend.” If you have 200 friends “purging” your friend list can be a real pain:

I can pull up testimonials of several YouTubers and Twitch streamers alike, if needed, and they will agree that this long process of unfriending not only deters them from clearing their friends list if full, but also deters us from befriending our viewers in the first place.I shall also note that this doesn’t directly support development whatsoever. I just saw an opportunity to recommend a course of action to make the Roblox website a more user-friendly base for everyone.Thank you.Edit: Misspelled “recommend”47 Likes Alvin_Blox (AlvinBlox) January 17, 2018, 9:32pm 2 support had to open up every friend’s profile and manually (get it, lol) delete over 120 the other dayrip fingers16 Likes Autterfly (Autterfly) January 17, 2018, 9:38pm 4 Poor Aragnok what did he ever do…On a separate, more relevant note to the request, yes.11 Likes JamienChee (Jamien) January 17, 2018, 9:46pm 5 I will refer you to:

Viewers come and go, just like friends, it could take an individual months before [insert gender identity here] realizes that they should do a “spring cleaning” of their friend’s list.I will also note that not everyone is like you. Which is why I refer to people as an “individual,” to make sure that, whoever this may relate to, knows everyone is unique, and has different ways of going about certain things.While you may have only ever unfriended 4-5 people, not everyone keeps their friends list on such a strict setting. I’m thinking about the entire Roblox platform, including the 64 million monthly active users.7 Likes Reinitialized (Reinitialized) January 17, 2018, 9:48pm 6 Being on here since 2008, I do agree I haven’t unfriended as much as I friend. However, coming from an era where we had unlimited friends to now a limit of 200 … support. Followers are followers, friends are special. You should have ease of control for it, just as followers have. Especially when you actually give friends special permissions cause you know … Friends?6 Likes WhoseTrade (WhoseTrade) January 17, 2018, 9:54pm 7 I guess, but I don’t see this as an issueThere’s a reason why friend list is limited, and using it to reward your viewers versus actually considering yourself friends is strange use case.We have the following/follower system to quickly follow, and unfollow users and give them more permissions than the average joe.That’s probably why I haven’t has to remove many people.But that’s just my opinion.1 Like JamienChee (Jamien) January 17, 2018, 9:57pm 8 I respect your opinion <33 Likes WhoseTrade (WhoseTrade) January 17, 2018, 9:59pm 9 Thanks, I respect yours alsoEveryone uses the system different.1 Like Evanbear1 (Evanbear1) January 17, 2018, 10:04pm 10 I agree, you should unfriend @Aragnok1 Like aeropeez (aero) January 17, 2018, 10:56pm 11 Support I’d like to start cleansing my friends list easier

Does anyone know why Roblox capped it to 200?4 Likes buildthomas (buildthomas) January 18, 2018, 12:22am 13 It’s so that friend-related API/queries have concise results and are efficient to execute. Imagine having to calculate the result of GetFriendsOnline when every player can have thousands of friends.(Also I recommend opening a new topic about this if you want more details, since it’s a little off-topic w.r.t. the request here.)2 Likes nurgenius (nurgenius) January 18, 2018, 6:09am 14 Although this would be a lovely core feature, there already exists as a chrome add-on that does this.Roblox Friend Removal Button - Chrome Web StoreUseful for removing friends with ease.2 Likes JamienChee (Jamien) January 18, 2018, 10:10pm 15 I don’t think a majority of the Roblox user-base will use or trust a google extension. I hardly do. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, Roblox doesn’t promote extensions anymore due to security reasons.It’d be much easier to just have it be made into a core feature, like it USED to be. Plus, not every Roblox user plays through a chrome browser, some use windows 10, some use IE, etc.EDIT: When I say Windows 10, I’m referring to the app.4 Likes Aragnok (Aragnok) January 30, 2018, 5:45am 16 Thank you!6 Likes JamienChee (Jamien) January 30, 2018, 8:22pm 17 You know I still love you, Arag.But seriously, will there be a staff post to note that this thread was reviewed and sent to the web team?1 Like JamienChee (Jamien) March 14, 2018, 6:16am 18 Do you usually hear feedback from Roblox staff if this was checked or if this suggestion was sent over to the web developers?

Information

Currently, it is complicated to clear your friends list by clicking on each player’s profile and unfriending them manually. It would make the process of unfriended a large number of people easier if you could select the people that you would like to unfriend.

For example, lets say I would like to unfriend 10/30 people on my friends list, I would Select the 10 people that I would like to unfriend and I would click the unfriend button which would be located somewhere on the friends list page after selecting 2+ players.
