This has been an ongoing problem for me, and I am sure it is for many ROBLOXians. There is a very prevalent issue regarding what advertisements are being shown. These are not the user-created ads, but the ones owned by private companies. The problem is, no matter how often an Ad is reported, there does not seem to be anything done to discontinue the ad!
Some problems include
-"Adult" pictures -"Adult" language -Graphic scenes/gore -Suggestive themes
If we cannot even type what is being shown, then you know you have a problem, as you can see, I was required to type "Adult" twice because of this
Please ROBLOX, there is SO much you can do to fix this, especially when you are the largest kid's MMO on the internet! Please, discontinue the use of Google AdWords, as they do not seem to filter the displayed content. There are many children who are being exposed to what they should not be.
If you were to create your own Advertisement system, you could charge your own prices to private companies, as well as filter the content of your ads.
I understand that many people can get an Ad-blocker, but this does not apply to all, including myself. I have tried multiple times to do this, but my computer can not support the programs for reasons I do not know, so please, create your own advertisement-system or find a way to filter the content shown on our screens. |

I'd give this 50 out of 100. Support this 50%. Because most people can just get a Adblocker. And if you don't like the ads then just ignore them simple.

| Adverts, if I'm not mistaken, are ran by Google AdSense. Google AdSense, if I'm not mistaken, displays adverts based on what you've been searching, the context of the page, etc. If you're seeing any form of inappropriate advert, not run by a user, it's not their fault. |

The problem is ROBLOX isn't using Google as the advertisement provider.
But yes, ROBLOX should be paying more attention to these ads. |

| Someone has been google-searching "adult" things on the computer you are using, it is not ROBLOX's fault. |

| Actually, everything on my computer is recorded and can be and is reviewed at periodic intervals, so I am 100% confident that nothing of the sort has been searched |

Clear history, incognito mode
Have you ever reviewed the recording yourself? |

"Actually, everything on my computer is recorded and can be and is reviewed at periodic intervals, so I am 100% confident that nothing of the sort has been searched" Maybe someone was deleting internet history. |

If you're watching POpcoRN then you might get some 'suggestive' ads.

| Yes, everyone, I am aware of how the Ad system works. The problem is that all of these ad's are in the "game" category, not the "adult" categorize. |

| And the program records everything the screen displays, and there is no way to delete the recordings, so incognito and history-deleting don't work. |
