Right now half the community is split whether roblox cares if they exploit or not.
the company in general just needs to be more interactive with the community, they sorta just watch from afar and do livestreams once a week. |

They do care. It's not a priority one exploit, but it's on the list of their to-do's list.
It's harmless, and a patch is being worked on. Be patient.

| Exploiting in any form is not allowed, especially if youre using a program to make it happen. |

Sorry, wasn't really clear.
Animation exploiting is sort of reaching a point where thousands of people are jumping on the bandwagon without realizing it's exploiting. Obviously they're working on fixing exploits, they have specific people hired for that field.
ROBLOX needs to publish statements saying that animation exploiting is a bannable offense. Right now they're sending out hundreds of warnings per day that could of been avoided by just speaking up. |

If it's happening in your place, I suggest using this:
http://www.roblox.com/Animation-Exploit-Patch-item?id=120564420
However, people using it SHOULD know it's against the rules, even the word "exploit" gives it out. People should understand Terms and Conditions before playing / using anything. |

You can't assume that people even pay attention to the terms and conditions. Even lawyers are able to pull the "We didn't know that the terms said that" nowadays, since it's basically granted that the average user doesn't read them.
Barely anyone will see this thread, not to mention the kids who spreading fiddler in frontpage games making the problem worse. Roblox is wasting manpower dealing with this reports instead of just sending out an announcement. It's great that roblox doesn't endorse animation exploiting, but that doesn't help with the problem at all.
They don't have to patch it to start fixing it. Release an announcement that it's against the rules and is a reportable offense and people will stop using it/start reporting other people for using it. When the patch comes out it should be already half fixed. |

I've told people who are using the exploit that ROBLOX is doing stuff to end that.
They are like, " it's harmless"," it's not an exploit idiot","it's not against the rule stupid".
I just lol'd. |

It will take much more time to moderate people who are using the exploit than just patching it.
I've seen quite amounts of people using the animation exploit. |

@y05h1m4n, that's the problem, they are moderating it. Mods are wasting their time going through reports and sending out warnings/1 day bans.
My point is that if roblox released an official statement the same way they convey maintenance/their livestream then they could at least slow down how fast it's spreading. |

| it's not exactly easy to patch exploits, and the patches may even break games if they come out. |

Making an announcement that says "Animation Exploiting is a bannable offense and is not tolerated by ROBLOX." ?
That's pretty hard, I think I hurt my finger typing that. |

@Rowpunk
Yeah I see your point, I honestly believe that moderation actions are pretty useless (just a 1 day ban won't stop them). I think an announcement could help a little bit, but it's not like they're gonna stop everybody from using it.
Patching would be the best solution. |

"Cursing is a bannable offense"
Get my point? They'll do it regardless. |

| "The Exploit" Is very harmless to your computer its a very bad virus it has called a worm which keep duplicating its self if you have it downloaded its to late the worm by know duplicated its self about 10,000 times. And yes it is much more harmless sooner or later you well get banned those animations also lag games very badly. |

You're right Political, people steal things all the time so I should be able to go over to my local walmart and just take some snacks and tell them to deal with it. People are going to continue to exploit, the problem is that a lot of players are getting a hold of fiddler and not knowing that it counts as exploiting, they just see their character doing the zen animation and think it's awesome.
But it's whatever, I don't think this thread is going to get any more moderator attention unless I stay on it for the next seven hours. (ew, that sounds awful.)
So we probably will just have to deal with it. |

| I have seen a lot of people with these animation exploits. Some are actually getting to the point were they are using it to harass other players, and I have even seen some cheat on certain games with it. The point is, it's getting out of hand and needs to be fixed. |

Thanks MSE6. ^^
It's a pretty big problem right now. Assumed you guys got that from reports, but there are usually two animation exploiters per server on a front page game. |
