I don't see the point of a Guest Account.

Okay, so... Let's get started. (This isn't really a suggestion, it's a question in a way.)

Subject is based on the Guest Account obviously...

So I don't see the point of a Guest Account. When you can make a FREE account. To prove my point, a Guest account is free. A normal account is free, there are more perks to the normal account. So why have a guest one?

So.. Can anyone tell me why?

To try out the site without any obligation to it. Even a free account takes time and requires giving your E mail address away, which ROBLOX could potentially sell to other companies, filling your inbox with spam advertisements. A guest account would help somebody who is on the edge of deciding whether or not to make one decide to make one. And what's wrong with them? They're not exactly doing anything bad. They're just like safe chatters except they don't have a personalized name (in the game play perspective).

Well, saying the decision to whether or not join worries me. Cause from what I see, ROBLOX isn't really a child-compatible site. I mean, a guest angered my brother and he cried cause the guest destroyed his hard-worked house. Trolls roam, teenagers acting like children and feeding bad things to the kids, bullies, games with guns, violence, fighting...

It just doesn't feel, tends to be it just isn't a kid's site. (Talking about the kids in this section.)

The teens on the other hand are tending to be mature and intellectual. Too bad they act like 6 year olds. It's really disapointing. Well, some act like 6 year olds, some tend to be mature. So I think the teens can fend off the others.

@ ROBLOX isn't really a kid's site.

Yeah, it's not. Pretty much everything you said there was true. I mean, about turning it into a 13+ website, I would say no thanks. I couldn't stand the immaturity of some people if there was no censorship. The front page would be full of stupid, immature games, and forums would be filled with worthless curse words, it would be awful. Despite the fact that I'm 13, I find some nice censorship on ROBLOX.

The thing I've mostly seen guests do is just use a guest account to go troll some people by deleting their stuff or spawnkilling them. That has happened to me far too many times, and I think that a lot of people already HAVE free accounts, but they just use the guest accounts to do bad things and not get their real account banned or reported. That is the way I see guests.

Also I see a ton of senselessly violent games on the front pages, like those "Who killed [insert name here]???" games that have a picture of some dead guy with a lake of blood around him on the floor.

You dont need to make your account with an email address, and why would ROBLOX do that?

Guests are simply for new users to try the game and see if they actually want to play ROBLOX or not. What is there not to understand?

I'll be over here. Judging you.

lycanation, I already know that, but there actually should be a demo instead of a guest account... It sounds right.

Ok......I might not like guests either because they are incompetent and some just wander around and waste time, but come on people.... Your little brother cried because a guest destroyed his place. ITS JUST A GAME. WANNA BUILD THEN GO PLAY WITH LEGOS.

Back to the actual idea, this is wnts, but its true. A person wants to try something out then give them a free trial of a few days with what the site has to offer. yes this refers to games, but that is all they can do. Guests can't even chat in the game, which means they can't even ask for help if there are no instructions...

Either let players join roblox as a free trial but letting them make their own account and everything, or no guest at all

Guest accounts are fun for games like Base Wars, where you can play it nostalgically with only the first couple of dozen weapons, no KDR and respect to lose.
