Hello everyone.

Recently, my brother got in trouble for clicking a user created ad that led to a certain game which really angered my father because my little brother was crying over what someone said about the stuff the game was teaching and what was going to happen to him if he didn't do something. (Not going into details)

I too, found the ad unsettling and quite annoying, but it doesn't break any ROBLOX rules and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by telling them to stop, because:

1. That's rude
2. They are not breaking any rules
3. It's not my place on ROBLOX to do that and tell them they can't express themselves.

However, I really don't want to see the ad because as a human, upsets me when I see something I don't like or I feel is trying to pressure my opinions and actions a certain way. We all know how that feels. This ad was very unsettling, and it made me feel as if I was doing something wrong for not following it.

I realized that several of the advertisements on ROBLOX impact users by either being offensive personally, breaking family rules on what is acceptable, or they just are very annoying.

I've seen this certain ad several times over the past few weeks, and it has really been bothering me because of how terrible it makes me feel. While I know many may say to just ignore it...

That doesn't help because I can't ignore it without removing ads entirely, as a human it still bothers me and I really can't control that because I feel targeted and whenever someone feels targeted, they get upset.

My idea is to add a "Hide Ad" button. This button will make it so the ad does not show up again in the future and people can satisfy themselves without having to start a conflict with the uploader or the administrator reading a report that can't be solved with removal of the ad.

This is a great feature because:
-People won't feel targeted by an ad in the future, if they can hide it.
-Simple feature, very easy to use.
-It makes ROBLOX a lot more family-friendly, by supporting family rules that something shouldn't be seen.
-Moderators won't have their time wasted with "I don't like this ad" reports that have no impact. Saves time for the users and the moderators.
-It prevents people from getting into flame wars, over controversial advertisements.
-ROBLOX will still get revenue from offsite ads, the ad could simply be replaced with a different ad.

Will you help support this feature? Please reply with a simple "Support" and/or give reasoning. If you don't agree, please state why. Thank you!

People will only hide ads that they don't like.

I mean, that shouldn't be a problem. If they're not going to click it anyways, they should be able to block it without an issue. You're not losing any cash.

I support. I've seen a lot of ads that were disturbing over the past few months, so if ROBLOX makes this, it will be very useful for me.

I agree because I've clicked o nsome AD's and it's lead me to some weird stuff, we need that button, But just a sujestion if they would add it, wouldn't it be better to add it in to the setting where you can change you're username and stuff so you don't have to see the button on every page you go on?

Was it a religious ad saying he was going to hell if he didn't convert, and the constitution protects my religion?

If someone cries over that stuffI will freak out. I get bullied at school, I deal with bullies most days at school, and I am forced to deal with it.

Wait, if it was a really bad ad, like satan, etc, then sure. Support 50%, what if someone blocks all ads and the person running those ads loses money then?

"Ever heard of ad block?"

Are you stupid?

I still want to see ROBLOX's user created ads. I just want to block the ones I don't like.

I support! There are some younger kids who want to play as well as the older ones. I think some of the ads are sick and scary for some kids. This is a must idea!

oh dear, it's like the expectations in a standard human was having a good day, walking and whistling his favourite song down a sidewalk and then this thread was like a bunch of intoxicated kids in a big car and just smashed right into expectations in a standard human
