Well here we are again. It's always such a pleasure.

I'm getting rather tired of the exploits. I've been nice, so , yea I'm going to share my honest opinions of the exploits on ROBLOX and the admin reactions to it. If you're an admin, I wouldn't be offended by this as it's the truth.

So, we'll start at the basics. What exactly IS an exploit?
According to wikipedia, an exploit is: "An exploit, in video games, is the use of a bug or glitches, rates, hit boxes, or speed, etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.[1] It is often colloquially abbreviated sploit."-Wikipedia

So we'll use this as our definition. ROBLOX has seen a few generations of exploits. The most prominent being:
-DLL. Opened up the toolbox ingame so a user could edit the game freely.
My Prevention: Checked when the game selection table has more than 0 items in it.

-Chatting Command Line. Multiple variations. Lets users speak code that the game compiles.
My Prevention: Character limit. This is bypassable as ROBLOX (for whatever dumb reason) lets users speak while connecting (yet they're connected) and if they put a swear word in their code, chatted event scripts don't get it.

--------------------------------Let's Ask Some Admins What They Think------------------------
The following are emails sent to me, or forum replied from mods.
In this first situation, I exclaimed to Shedletsky (John) that I could easily detect the exploit process with C++. He replied
"Run Cheatengine in kernel mode (there's a checkbox to enable this somewhere) and then try to find the process from C++."
I did some experimenting. I downloaded Cheat Engine and attempted to play Maplestory, SD Gundam Online and Arma II and Arma III. All of these programs detected the program, in kernel mode, and told me to close it.

I created a Forum Bomb with my fan's help to grab admin attention and reply for the exploiting issue. Thanks to the work of my fans, we got a reply.

MasterChiefAlpha"We are aware of the in-game exploits some of you are experiencing and have written in about. Rest assured that we are working on resolving these issues."

They say they are working to resolve these issues. Their methods clearly aren't working. I can understand taking their time with unknown bugs, but when a vast majority of ROBLOXians (1 in 20) have this exploit, every game with a server running has the tendency to be exploited.

I will personally not be renewing my TBC because I'm not paying for a service that is a free for all. I signed up for TBC as it was advertised as having more places. However when somebody comes in and deletes every server, it mightaswell not be considered a place, which equates to me not fully getting the service as-advertised.

If you read this, put a link to this forum post as a shout in any group you can. The exploit-free ROBLOX was great. The new updates are mediocre at best (dynamic lighting was amazing, it cancels out the waste-of-time minecraft clone terrain), the least they can do is make their game exploit-free. Put this link on your profile, or start your own thread. Just spread this as much as you can. It's time to show the admins that the feature we want most on ROBLOX, is the ability to enjoy it as a safe environment. Unsafe, would be many of the scripts I've seen that parents would not want their kids seeing.

TL;DR
Spread the word to stop exploiting. I recommend reading the entire thing. Make a similar post yourself. Let the admins know that the feature you want most, is an exploit-free environment.

-----------------------------------------------------
Go ahead and ban me. I'm only expressing my true feelings about it and have backed up every claim I've made. No inappropriate language was used and no ROBLOX staff member was targeted with the blame of this issue. According to the Terms Of Service, this is within my rights.

I entered a game and someone entered a script through an exploit, that made one user "slide back and fourth" on another user.

It took forever to explain to my mom that ROBLOX wasn't about this and that it was just an exploiter.

Yep. Happens all the time. What does ROBLOX do?


-Ban user...this makes the user even more upset
-User makes an alt with the sole purpose of continuing this to get revenge.

And that repeats itself until the user is bored, made other users quit and then leaves themself.

More issues. If say Rukiryo here loses his TBC, how will he be able to run his games? The same with anyone else here. We want to run all our games, for all our friends and fans. An example who I used, Rukiryo, will have to decide which game he needs to run AFTER his TBC runs out. He has many games, and if he picks either one, he'll get some fans turning on him, and just yell at him. There are many issues in ROBLOX that just makes it dull. We're here for fun, not to make boring games.

I think we should tell them with ways that they will moderate, like blog posts, shouts on walls, ads, decals, thumbnails, ect. They won't always be looking on the forums.

I am sick and tired of this too. Before roblox adds in any more new features, they should make sure the old ones are running correctly.

@JaredJadesea That's one thing I don't like about ROBLOX. The endless limits to creativity. One game. Can't sell items. No groups. All of those games are what you get for free. When you pay for BC for more games, and your games get popular, it backfires either when hackers fill your game, or when you lose BC. I'm on the verge of moving on as well, Game Maker: Studio (The free one) lets you be more creative than ROBLOX even though there are some limits, that's when you gotta upgrade. And they don't go away. If your game is singleplayer, let the hackers have fun. Multiplayer-wise, I don't know about hackers on Game Maker

I was in my group's base just defending and ect. When this guy exploited every time I go there because he was I was killing him and standing up for my friends. He deletes the whole place and shouts that the group I am in sucks, then, later, my old account was taken by the same guy. I reported that player and complained, but, in the end, nothing had happened. Other exploiters would mess with the lighting, which is not a problem unless it affects your vision, control other players or exploit admin scripts into the game, then make his or her health higher than maximum, make them impossible to beat in a game, exploit in weapons from the catalog, (NOT THE CATALOG HEAVEN GAME), or kick/ban everyone from the game. There is pretty much nothing I can hope for in fun on Roblox anymore.

I downloaded Cheat Engine and attempted to play
>Maplestory,
People are still able to exploit Maplestory with DLL or means using the table very quickly.
>SD Gundam Online and Arma II and Arma III
idk about theese game but litteraly, pre-game anti-CE's don't work that well, as i said above, some people are smart, and 32 years old... they can make DLLs and bypasses for hella time.

Full support, I couldn't agree more with you.
By the way Rukiryo, if you've gotten my message already, those exploits in Pokemon are getting much worse (People hacking their stats back up, deletion of baseplates, etc.)
