Message-Bots.
You know what they are.
Bots programmed to send links to you advertising "cool" and "awesome" things, and even "free robux", almost always with a smiley face ":)" at the end.
These weren't around before around September of this year, and now they seem to be everywhere. It's IMMENSELY ANNOYING, especially when you're waiting for a message, and then something like, "Check this out!!!" with a link shortener afterwards sent by placidharmony30 shows up instead.(By the way, that was almost an exact message I've gotten, minus the link, of course.)
An easy way to fix this is to implement an anti-bot process in the sign-up procedure. Examples of these are a randomly generated question with a drop-down menu with randomly arranged questions, or the same but with a text box instead. Why Roblox has yet to include one baffles me, as well as enrages me.
Seriously, WHY HAVE THEY NOT DONE THIS? THEY UPDATED THE SITE LAYOUT, BUT DIDN'T BOTHER TO FIX AN ACTUAL PROBLEM?
...who am I kidding? This is Roblox we're talking about here. Anyways, show support so MAYBE someone will actually see this and actually implement this. It's driving me insane how long it's taking them to notice these bots.
And don't just say, "Change your message settings to 'friends only' or above." We shouldn't have these bots in the first place!
Still, support if you agree this is both a problem and a menace, and want to fix it before it gets worse! |

| Or even having the ones that ask for you to click on a picture of whatever it asks, regardless it needs some captcha type thing before you can submit comments/ PMs... |
