Roblox moderators are more lenient on some forums. they make forums where you need to be a certain age to go on

(for example: offtopic would be 18+ or something, where you can post more and more offsite links, cuss a bit more)

if anyone has seen ironnoob, it'd be similar to the forum moderation system for these forums.

If you are wondering about "kids faking their ages will be able to see it!" that's with any website at all, parents cannot complain because it's the kid's fault in the first place for putting them in a situation where they lied about their age. I think it would be great, keep the community a lot healthier too. For the edgy people who have to say the cuss words, they don't need to spam it on the ROBLOX forums, it would cut down on NFSW content aswell.

Also this could open ROBLOX for more older audiences, since most of the forums are older people (atleast the people who don't really play roblox games (like myself) who are older and just like to forum here, it'd be awesome to see this happen.

What do you guys think? :O

I don't think it's a good idea, this is a site for kids and older. No leniency should be allowed.

ROBLOX also thinks its a bad idea, and it will never happen.

@Wonderful, "no leniency should be allowed"
we can say more cuss words than ever before, post youtube links , twitter links, etc.

also how do they expect for this site to grow without changes.

they recently allowed some words like badass and such to be allowed under appropriate circumstances.

I don't find it far-fetched.

"ROBLOX also thinks it's a bad idea"
well, since i heard shedletsky talking about something about with the 18+ badge that (i think was removed) it used to hang on your top bar, he mentioned it would one day possibly allow you to speak more freely, and it wouldn't show ingame to other users.

I would support but I'm pretty sure it goes against the last point of WNTS

"■▬▬ Posted Too Often, So Don’t Post It ▬▬■
• Stop being a kids' site/give us 13+ features. (We're aware of the interest.)"

adding age restricted forums where there could also be subforums where being a certain age allows more things, like how your example in your op said more offsite links and cussing would be allowed, is pretty much giving 13+ features

Checkmate.

@0neshot

This isn't talking about the game being for adults, it's the forums being more lenient for older user,

Totally different ballgame but I see your point. I'm not saying no filters, because the forums would be moderated, just a different set of more lenient rules,

Why would we show leniance to anyone on Roblox? This is a game/site for all ages don't show leniance just because certain people have been alive longer. They deserve just as much as everyone else.

@inactive
You're being a huge hypocrite "this is a all aged game, why show lenience?" Well because it's an online game for all ages, that's why. Also you mention why because they have a certain age, you can put that argument on legal drinking age aswell. A lot of parents get mad when their children are exposed to NSFW language. It's society, not my opinion. So everyone wins.

Do you mean Roblox age or Irl age because kids usually lie about their age on Roblox.

"Well because it's an online game for all ages, that's why"
And that's a valid reason how?

"Also you mention why because they have a certain age, you can put that argument on legal drinking age aswell."
Actually with parental supervision anyone can drink. It's just purchasing that has a legal age. On private, non alcohol-selling premises, with parental consent in 29 states

"A lot of parents get mad when their children are exposed to NSFW language."
As they should be. If it's NSFW their children shouldn't be exposed to it as a younger child.

"It's society, not my opinion."
I believe it's your opinion not society's.

"So everyone wins."
How does everyone win? Do people under 18 get a special forum that no one above 18 can go on?

"My opinion only"
That's why on NSFW website they tell you you need to be 18+

And by NSFW, I mean cuss words/ non-insane offsite links.

How is it a websites fault if a kid fakes their age? Should the NSFW video websites be sued because a kid lies about his age and is exposed? No the kids in the fault for lying.

And it being for all ages is valid due to older part of the age group is not allowed to speak freely because the younger half is around.

Example: around my friends I occasionally swear, around a 8th grader I'm censored.

@Johnny Don't take this comment rudely but then it would make this pointless. Like you even said people lie about their age. If this did happen I bet this would only have a real effect on around 4% of the community.

Than how is it pointless when 70% of other websites like YouTube for example, have a rule in store which is broken all the time, but still need it, it just gives the community more freedom. Also makes mods jobs easier as the edgier side if the community can use a different sub forum to an extent

My dad always says: "If you can't say it in front of your parents don't say it." If it wouldn't be appropraite for younger people on the site, why do you need to discuss it?

@imactive, this is a community forum, not your house.

If anything this will open up more people to roblox, and will make it look more all ages instead of kids only, which it what it is now.

You are pushing your beliefs on a topic that would benefit the community and company of roblox as a whole.

"If anything this will open up more people to roblox, and will make it look more all ages instead of kids only, which it what it is now."

The targeted age group is 8-18. Those are for the majority kids. You want a section for 18+ but, that is the minority of the entire age group that is supposedly on Roblox.

"You are pushing your beliefs on a topic that would benefit the community and company of roblox as a whole."

I am still not seeing how on earth this would benefit roblox's community or Roblox as a whole. All it will do is show that Roblox thinks one age group is more immature than the other. 18+ people have less restriction because, they are more mature? No, in reality they should have MORE restriction since they are the ones who post the innapropriate content.

Or they can just do the simple thing and not moderate C&G and simply ban Finalization whenever they get the chance.

The legitimate clan community is 99.9839124% 12 or older.

And 100% for any good people in the clan community who's names you would recognize, they're all in their upper teens to mid twenties.



OT is really discount C&G with 12 year olds instead of 24 year olds.

Making them the 'blessed subforum' doesn't really make sense.

Inactive you are not getting what I'm saying, I'm saying for roblox to make a new sub forum for people who are older aged on roblox and have it moderated more freely.


And yes the targeted age group is that, but why not open doors for roblox to become more larger? Isn't that a companies objective. A big reason why people stream mine craft instead of roblox is because mine craft doesn't have age barriers set up that classifies it as childish. And you are saying older people should have more restrictions because they post more NSFW? Do you consider the edgy 13 year olds that post a swear word to sound funny? A lot. Your arguments are annoying and pointless. You went from bringing up your dads sayings as a argument and now you want older people to be restricted due to a start line you made up, man, you are part of the reason roblox needs a older forum, because a lot of roblox is immature to even "get" a subject such as this, like yourself apparently.

"Inactive you are not getting what I'm saying, I'm saying for roblox to make a new sub forum for people who are older aged on roblox and have it moderated more freely."

I am "getting" what you are saying it just isn't needed at all and a terrible idea in general. Why do they need a new sub-forum for that? Rules should be applied to all parts of the site. If off-site links are not allowed, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere on the site. If cursing isn't allowed, it shouldn't be allowed on any part of the site. It is showing favoritism to one age group (18+) even though, and I say it again, they are the minority.

"And yes the targeted age group is that, but why not open doors for roblox to become more larger?"

I'm not saying just leave it to that targeted age group but, they should make it lower not higher. We don't want older people coming in and cursing and posting innapropriate links on forums. Why would we want those people if they are here to break the regular rules.

" A big reason why people stream mine craft instead of roblox is because mine craft doesn't have age barriers set up that classifies it as childish."

Roblox is not classified as childish in fact Common Sense Media (The rating website) states that Roblox should not even be played by people under 12 based off parental ratings.

"And you are saying older people should have more restrictions because they post more NSFW?"

Yes, I am. I am saying that older people have a tendency to go into more innapropriate subjects and use worse words because younger people don't have the vocabulary to use it.

"You went from bringing up your dads sayings as a argument"

I did it, not as an argument but as an example.

"you are part of the reason roblox needs a older forum, because a lot of roblox is immature to even "get" a subject such as this, like yourself apparently"

I am? Hmm and why is that? You fail over and over to really explain why we need an older forum. It would just cause issues. More parents unhappy. This would not lead to more members this will lead to less. It would be mostly older but, that wouldn't make the community better.

Now, to farther go into my point above. By adding a forum where there is innapropriate links and language allowed/less moderated if a parent sees that forum they will most likely take their child away from the website. You would lose a lot of the lower aged users.

Oh and please do not insult me and call me immature just because, I do not agree with your suggestion and find it rather useless. Thanks.

No support.

1. Do you want 99% of OTers to go to RT?
2. It will cuase massive riots.
3. There should be equality for ages, restrictions for safety's sake is fine["fine" ALRIGHT I MEAN IT REMOVE WHITELIST *COOOOOOOOOOUGH* I MEAN DUMBLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!], but leave Off Topic alone, they are as edgy as ROBLOX Talk.
4. I will try to be the first one to judge ROBLOX as supremacist.
5. If already, simply just merge RT with OT, this is better.

I object to the MLG meme!
