As a lot of you know, that game page is full of "Fake games" now. If you dont know what a "Fake" game is, it is a game that doesn't really have anything to do with the Thumbnail or the name. People take advantage of the fact that roblox doesnt do anything to punish these fake games and their makers, so front page is full of games where all someone needs to do is change their name and thumbnail to get more people.
I dont know about roblox, but i consider this a form of scamming. If one of their fake games are losing people, all they need to do is change the Thumbnail and Name of it and boom, more people.
Want an example of a "fake game"? just look on front page, their is most like 4 or more. Most games that have Disabled comments are fake games (NOTE: not all games that have comments disabled are fake")
My real problem with this is the "Makers" of the "Fake" games dont put any effort into their games and get successful and fame off of it, while people that actually work hard on their games never see front page. I know a good amount of great games that have never been on front page because the fake games just push them back down.
The point of this thread is to try to get roblox Administrators aware enough to actually do something about the fake game.

| I agree with this except the scamming part. The only way it's scamming me is wasting a few minutes or even seconds of my life, and I'm not paying anything to play a certain game. |

100% agreed. Currently, bigs has two games on the front page that are fake. Which I find annoying when he did nothing to deserve that income...
Yes, this is scamming. |

I've seen a lot of threads about this problem on S&I, hearing it from someone like you doesn't make it any more different. You haven't stated any sort of solution to the problem, you've only stated that Roblox staff should do something about it.
Roblox can't check every game to see if it's "Legit". All I can suggest is Roblox implements some sort of user friendly filter in which users can decided to stop seeing games made by a certain creator, almost "Censoring" them if you put it like that. |

It is a scam.
Scam Noun A dishonest scheme; a fraud
Support, especially since scamming is in the terms of service, which the staff don't even bother to read |

Actually, this IS scam. Getting people to your game, that is completely different is scamming. Example;
Meh, I see a game called Survive 99999 Disasters, I go to it, I see it is Obby, I wasted my time, and the owner of the game gained 1 tix. Doesn't sound legit.

Front Page 2008 - 2009: Excellent, quality games with work put into them. Front Page 2009 - 2010: See 2008-2008. Front Page 2010 - 2011: Games were decent, had work put into them. Front Page 2011- 2012: Nooo! What happened to this place?! Front Page 2013 - 2014: Who knows the possibilities? Will games be good like they used to be, or will they become even worse? |

"Roblox can't check every game to see if it's "Legit"."
It would take them like 2 seconds to join the game. And it's pretty obvious if a game is fake or not. |

| You could make it so that users could report the game, and if enough reports come in, the game is banned. |

| Finally somebody important makes one of these. I wish you included a solution, but even still. Maybe ROBLOX will find a way. |

| Support. Rebreb, JV4, Pieperson, Telaluchiha and more have gained undeserved profits because of this. It's about time they did something about this. |

Support.
If scamming isn't allowed in the REAL world, it shouldn't be allowed here too!!!
Many morons have un-deserved profits because of scamming, while the good game builders like my friend only get 2 place visits and 2 tix. It's time for ROBLOX to wake up and fix the problem.
FYI: Did you know that the admins gave Pieperson a DOMINO CROWN and a ROBLOX poster with all the signitures of the ADMINS on it. He never deserved it. He should've been banned instead. |
