Why in the name of God is the ROBLOX community so awful? Yes, I understand the majority of the users are kids, specifically elementary school kids.

But we did NOT have this problem in '08. Now, yes, this is a '12 account, but my '08 account was banned. (Mainly because of a rather heated forum argument about politics, which led to some...iffy topics.)

But nonetheless, most of the players were kids then, yes. But the community did not make me want to throw up.

They did not randomly spam everywhere with 'umg DONT PLAY -insertnamehere's- GAME BECUZ IT IS BAASDDD#@!32' or 'Play my game for admin first 10 get 1,000000000000000000000000000000000robux!!!111!!!11!!!1!'

No...just, no. The community was pretty bad then too, and yes, I understand that since then the site population has grown.

But I swear to God, do the people talk like that in real life? Do they go to their parents and say, 'oh meh gawd DONT LOOK IN MY CLOSET BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING BAD IN THERE HASHTAG AT SIGN EXCLAMATION POINT'

No. Would they type that at school doing a school project? NO. So why do it here? Some people think it is a cool idea, and could get place visits, or whatever the heck it is they are currently seeking. So the majority of everyone jumps onto the bandwagon, spamming everybody and everything.

And some people may assume they are 'cool' or whatever, but believe me. It is not. It makes you look like an uneducated fool.

Good day.

Kids talk weirdly.

We all do when we're young.

@Ulrond, yes I understand that. But what about all the players in there 13-18's who neglect to use decent punctuation and grammar?

@cooldudexd10: To put it simpler, what about all the teenagers who refuse to capitalize their sentences, or use grammar?

If I am correct, ROBLOX's demographics changed between '08 and today. I remember ROBLOX initially being designed for the 12+ age group; with the newest updates that make building easier, the demographics changed to 8-12.

Look at the current promotions on ROBLOX. It is all stuff designed for young children. More children know of ROBLOX now than back in '08, and it is quite obvious that the majority of players on here are somewhere between the ages of 8-14.

Unfortunately, I now hide with a few of the other older ROBLOX players. I enjoy that ROBLOX is a wide-enough game that generates interest between both adults and children.

@acebatonfan: I honestly think if it remained meant for the 12+ age group instead of becoming easier and more younger-kid friendly, the community would improve vastly, and the games would look a lot nicer.

Even if it risks losing a bunch of younger players. They could ALSO get rid of under 13 chat, which would probably improve things greatly.

Uh dude... Isn't it obvious?

The community quality is the same as 08' but it is a BIGGER community. Thus means that you see more trollers and 8 year old idiots dressing as girls and ODing

I agree. I used to love this website but as I got older I started noticing how bad the community was getting, it makes me really annoyed.

The community hasn't changed sense 2008 to now, only gotten larger.

I can say that the average age probably has dropped from around 10-13 to about 7-9. That is one of the reasons it seems worse. But again, it really isn't.

It's weird, you don't realize how much you miss '08 until these topics come up. Whatever happened to the civil, educated community that used to dwell here?

'08 was magnificent. I miss my old account. The topic was in fact what we each hated about the different candidates, and then what we hated about the government, and then it got pretty iffy, and we were all banned, me permabanned for starting the thread.

You should look at my inbox, I was sending out and getting so much junk messages that made 0 sense and were written by 5 year olds back in 2008.
