You know...free speech?

I know inappropriate words should be blocked, but look at that ATR rules. It had to use up those 50,000 characters. I bet you've gotten moderated for things that seemed weird.

Granted, this is a site for kids, but I've gotten banned just for doing the LD link joke.

"If you read the rules, they said don't post long siggys. Ahem. How is that against anything bad?"

D-did you not read what it says afterward?
They say that a 1 line post and a 2 line siggy look weird and therefore 1 line siggies are allowed only.



Stupidest thread of the week[2]


If this is a siggy, shouldn't I be signing this in ink?

freedom of speech =/= say whatever you want wherever you want

all it really entails is that you're allowed to voice whatever opinion you want regarding the government

that's a point on what you define "freedom" as


If they're banning people for posting an opinion (eg everyone who got a warn/ban/term for talking about the unfair moderation on Weimar vs Allemand), yes they are.
Then again that can be justified by "spirit of the rules" available on the RRoC, but if that's true because that's such a blanket and unspecified term anything you do on ROBLOX is against the RRoC.
Therefore the only way to ensure you will never get a ban/warn/whatever on ROBLOX is to simply not play ROBLOX.
That's a broken system, and I think that's why a lot of us ignore "spirit of the rules".

If they're banning people for something else, no they're not.
It's why you can't go out and say "i'm going to shoot this or that" and not get arrested for it.



International internet laws force a company on the web to go and ensure they're not breaking any laws in any country which the site can be accessed in.

However they tend to actually be enforced in the home country of the site, in this case being California.

i've actually never been south of Gabenewellsland so I don't know a whole ton of what's down south of here.

Pretty sure they have weird things down there like 90 mph freeways and they say "potato bug" but eh whatever haha

i'll clarify my point on "spirit of the rules"

to a lawyer that basically says "don't go here, ever."

to everyone else, under the context of the RRoC -

" - No nutzeeism"
> No flags
> No Symbols or imagery
> No using smoke on a person in game.
> No uniforms
> No clothes can be worn in a game.
> Anything that can be considered Nordic will be banned.
> Having a character that is blonde will result in a ban.
> Having a human character will result in a ban.
> Guns will result in a ban.
> No online roleplay governments
etc. etc.

obviously the examples I posted above are far worse than ROBLOX actually does, but if they wanted to they can go to that extreme.

Anything can be criminalized on ROBLOX from the RRoC because the definition of "spirit of the rules" can mean anything, and based on previous moderation actions, can fluxuate however they wish.

eg. "Nutzeeism" under the context of Germany will result in a ban, even if it's not actually Nutzee party related.

Nutzeeism with a french name is perfectly okay because it's french.



it's broken.
