First off, read the whole thing, or be silent - I don't want half-baked "reviews" by some ten-year-old that didn't even take the time to look at what I was saying.
If you JUST want the suggestion, it's on the bottom, labeled "SUGGESTION", you can't miss it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how it is: ROBLOX, you're not playing your own game.
If you were, you would know this simple truth: Various cheats, exploits and hacks are RAMPANT on various combat games. Fencing? Hackers, every time - SFOTH? They downright join and delete the map, it's just griefing.
Underground War? It used to be a safe haven, only 3 months ago. I come back and here's the truth...
I cannot, for the life of me, find a single server that doesn't either HAVE a cheater online, or has one join 5 minutes after me.
Bottom line, the time to act was half a year ago - but now? This game WILL garner a reputation at this rate, a very negative reputation.
So here's how it is: You need to take this seriously, right now - not in a month, not while waiting for the next load of hats: RIGHT NOW, because in the end, ROBLOXians care about one thing: Gameplay.
-GAMEPLAY-
Here's the real problem; you're adding new features for building, new hats, new this and that and the other to make GAMEMAKING easy as possible, one problem: Hacks work on every game.
I mean, I hate to be that guy (no I don't) but what's even the point of making games that are INHERENTLY BROKEN? Cheaters get to do what they want, when they want, without even the SLIGHTEST fear of retribution, because the report system is a joke.
-SUGGESTION-
Yes, yes, the ACTUAL suggestion. I could drag this out with MY PLAN on how this should work: But honestly, who cares about my plan anyways? It probably sucks! There are probably better ways, but all the same, I do have one idea...
The Roblox video recorder? Press one of the F keys (F9 I think) and you get to record a video? That's pretty sweet. But I have one suggestion to build off that...
How about, when you press a SEPERATE F-Key (any F-Key, really don't care which) it records, but at the conclusion, allows the player the option to file a VIDEO report. Also allows them to watch it real quick, instead of filing it on the computer. So they can know it's legit.
Obviously, the quality of the video recorder would have to be WAY BETTER for this, but all the same: This would allow you to catch hackers in the act, and let the moderators see things through the players eyes.
That's my two cents, but my real suggestion is this: Take hackers more seriously, that's all I ask.
If you support this idea, please say so to keep this afloat, thanks. |

Hackers are bad, too many hackers (or exploiters, you politically correct technical little fools), please crack down on the problem, and really focus on hackers (exploiters) like never before.
In a nutshell. |

The solution to such a problem is to warn players that enough false video reports will get THEM banned, same thing was once applied to normal reports, may still be.
So, problem solved :) |

I think I can speak for everyone when I say I can live with occasional tom-foolery if it means dealing with cheaters on a large scale.
Such happenings would be rare, and the video timer limit could be 15 seconds - so you would be forced to keep it quick, also, can't report with the video report function for 15 minutes after using it.
Problemo solvedo! |

| I don't think you need to worry to much about hackers, because all the time roblox is getting more and more secure, and it is getting harder to exploit, also roblox just has fazes with exploits, for about 2 weeks about 1/10 people will be hackers maybe more maybe less, but then when that gets patched, it quietens down. I remember about 2 years ago, when every server you joined, not joking, every single one, had a hacker, who had deleted all the blocks, had there names written in the skybox or had a GUI saying "so and so has hacked this server", honestly I think it is a lot better now, that one it used to be, so all I can say is just wait till roblox brings out a new group of patches. |

| Roblox already has a nearly foolproof anti hack method "Filtering Enabled". It stops 99.9% of exploits (Because be honest, no amount of security can stop everything). It has been out for months, the only reason that it isn't being used is because people don't want to update their games, and it's more difficult to use. But it's still possible, and well polished games that use this never get hacked. It's still possible, but nobody really has the technical knowlege or patience to get to that 0.1% of hacks that can get through. The rest of it is up to anti-exploit scritps which can catch the server side only hacks. It is not Roblox's fault that nobody wants to update their game to work with Filtering Enabled to stop hacks, and put in anti exploit scripts. |

Search for FilteringEnabled. Most exploiting tools always crash when it's enabled. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Security#FilteringEnabled |

| every time an exploit is patched, a new one just comes out, it's ridiculous how slow they are at trying to patch exploits. |

Here's the problem - sure, places CAN turn on Filtering Enabled, but many of them WON'T, ever. SFOTH and Underground War don't get updated, those are the two best places in my honest opinion. And it's not right that on all these other places cheating might as well be legal.
There should always be a plan B, and what if an exploit breaks through the Filtering feature? That is when this would shine, the alternative is hackers basically run rampant - everywhere, for weeks on end. |

@tolu
i dont think shedletsky or stickmasterluke will ever come to those games.
for now (mostly forever) i would just stay away from SFOTH and underground war unless you want these c00lkid people thinking their so 'cool' to exploit the game and put 18+ images everywhere in it. |
