I can realize why it may be disliked because its kind of "Adult Content"But then again, People always Cuss or call people racist names and they make Grown up models, But if you don't like it, Then don't play ROBLOX.

Because it can lead to getting so close to someone they will end up tricking you into finding you etc so no. Are you implying ROBLOX should be an adult site? That's in WNTS

Dating IRL doesn't disgust me at all (It's meant to happen).
Online dating in the right places disgusts me (falling in love with an image on your screen is just wrong) but I don't stop them because it doesn't hurt anyone else.
Online dating in the wrong places such as ROBLOX really disgusts me because it's not only wrong to fall in love with pixels, it's really wrong to do it in front of children and REALLY REALLY wrong to perhaps influence them to online date.

See my point?

Ok, so roblox's filter is really bad at filtering right from wrong, so I'll put this simply...


The dislike for ODing is cultural, there is no logical reasoning behind it.

And to those who thing that a lot of young kids play this game, let me remind you that swearing, ODing and voice chat and "Make this a 13+ site" is among the WNTS thread, clearly indicating that kids aren't the majority.

What 3rdblox said is completely good.

This is ROBLOX, this ain't meet-an-avatar. It's a game site. It's not a dating site.

It isn't cultural; it's logical. Why in the HECK would you OD on a public GAMING site. This isn't a DATING SITE. This isn't MEANT to start relations. It's not SAFE to have an intimate relationship on a website that isn't meant to start relationships.

Oh yes, and also, kids under 15 or so is the majority, I believe.
Secondly, even though there are things that we are trying to stop, such as swearing, that doesn't mean that ODing is more appropriate for kids.

Let's face it, a person does not need to be in a relationship until at least 17 years of age.

That's logical.

"Online dating in the right places disgusts me (falling in love with an image on your screen is just wrong) but I don't stop them because it doesn't hurt anyone else."

No one is "Falling in love with an image", or even falling in love at all. I think you fail to grasp the concept of dating, some people DON'T CARE about the looks, just the personality of a person. If you happen to find someone on roblox whose personality you quite like, who returns your gesture in kind, then I don't see that as a problematic occurrence.


"it's really wrong to do it in front of children and REALLY REALLY wrong to perhaps influence them to online date."

Dating in front of children isn't a "bad thing". I was dating girls when I was in 1st grade, and I liked them as early as kindergarten, this isn't the 19th century, get over yourself. Kids are just as capable of sentimental feelings as any other person of any other age group. And must I remind you that children have PARENTS who are MARRIED and most likely say things like "I love you" to each other and kiss all the time in front of their child? Once again, stop acting like kids are complete idiots, as that shows how pretentious you are.

And no one is "Influencing" them to online date, no one is telling them that you should date online, and that it's good, anyone who does is a sodding idiot and is part of a MAJOR minority.

"It isn't cultural; it's logical."

Everything you just stated was an opinion, not logical fact, however I doubt you'd understand the difference, however, even though debating moral values is pointless, I'm going to do it in a certain way, just for the sake of it.

"Why in the HECK would you OD on a public GAMING site."

I already gave you a reason why you WOULD, your job was to give me a reason why you WOULDN'T, and you failed at that. Good job.

"his isn't a DATING SITE. This isn't MEANT to start relations."

Very little things are "Meant" to start relationships, I got my first major girlfriend in an art class, and that's not a place MEANT for starting relationships

In fact, going off YOUR logic, the only place you SHOULD get a girlfriend/boyfriend is a dating website, because that's the only place that specializes in starting relationships.

"t's not SAFE to have an intimate relationship on a website that isn't meant to start relationships. "

It's about as safe as starting a relationship anywhere else. I'd give you links to plenty of stories where people have been killed, physically harmed, psychologically harmed, um.. A word starting with R and ending in D, and plenty of other vile and horrible things, and all of which occurred in relationships that started in a variety of ways, real life included. But roblox would ban me, I suggest looking it up yourself.

"Get my drift?"

I do, I still disagree with it though.

Okay, then answer my questions

Whose safety, and how is it safe for them?

I want a logical reasoning, not some morals in which you try to pass off as logical facts because you can't differentiate from the two.

The fact is, you can't. There is no evidence indicating that it's making anyone safe, especially considering the fact that once again, most of the people on this site aren't young children anymore, they're most likely teenagers or very close to becoming one, this is a fact I CAN prove by once again, citing that in the WNTS, it says online dating, swearing, make this site 13+ and voice chat, this shows that a majority of people are asking for 13+ features, indicating that they either aren't young children.

I fail to see the point of that statement at all, or who it was directed too.

"OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO OBNOXIOUS."

Ignoring the fact that that comment goes against the S&I rules, I'll continue on with the rest of your comment

"And no, dating on ROBLOX is not

Who said it was great?

Online Dating is a rather serious matter and is not allowed for this reason.

Roblox wants to ensure your safety.

I already made a post arguing against this. Saying "We're trying to protect you" is a complete cop-out from giving a rational reason for doing something.

"I have a feeling we got a troll in this thread."

You're right, it's you.
