I think this would be pretty simple,

When a player would try to post a known fake robux, tix ect. spam post then it would be removed and the following message (Or similar) message would appear:

The post you have attempted to make is a known scam post, and is fake.
To prevent further spreading of these posts you have been banned from posting for 24 hours.

Also, if it wouldn't be too hard I think posts like this should not show up at all so it would be virtually impossible for mass spreading of these posts.

That's it pls support k thx bai.

so i like your gusto but an idea like that would require another seperate whitelist for words other then swearing and they it would result in problems when using these words in an actual post that didn't have anything to do with these spams

i posted an idea to stop this spam and any kind of message spam a few minutes ago i think u should take a look at it

This would be either hard to do or ineffective. They can change their message like they disguise their links. A better solution would be to prevent pasting content into a comment post.

One reason that these spread is because it asks the user to copy and paste for a reward. This wouldn't stop bots, I suppose. The problem lies in who is allowed to post comments.

my idea would be like one of those annoying surveys before your allowed to use the post or comment button so it makes sure you have a human element before continuing

it would anoy the living crap out of some people but it would only be a 1 time thing once u passed it your good

its been proven to work on many other places in the World Wide Web so i don't see what we wouldn't see even a small success rate here

This idea is possible, just configurations in Roblox mechanics would be needed, but other than that.. I fully support this suggestion! :)

Support, but it would be much simpler for their to be a button with the text: "Spam" on it. This way users could easily help the Roblox Staff to whitelist the spam since just a simple word change would easily bypass this system. Idk tho, it sounds dumb, even in my head...

that number multiplied by even a single VPN is doubled and if someone is using 1 VPN they probably have 9 more just like it

Thanks for the support guys!
judess69er, I know what you mean but the idea wouldn't be to blacklist words it would be to blacklist entire paragraphs.
And javardog, I actually like that idea, that way if there are multiple identical posts that are reported for spam then they could be automatically added to the list, and once in a while a staff member would look over the list to make sure nothing else got in.

IKR I've been telling this to peeps.
If your comment have words "Join, Copy, Paste, [A link], and such, it should be sent to a moderator... But this means, ROBLOX have to hire more moderators"

still even when blacklisting words or paragraphs all one has to do is put a ' or something right after what they say to bypass its almost elementary

you can bypass the swear words blacklist on roblox already with the ' so iv already proven that it is flawed in many ways unless you wanna hire someone to make and think of every variation of every way someone can skew what there saying... just saying your gunna have a blacklist over 5 million words long and you still wont have em all

I remember getting a warning for sending one of those links to a moderator to let them be aware of it.

I guess they didn't read the whole PM.

comments should be disabled all together, their only use is "come to my place," "send me trades," and "builderman told me to post this X number of times for X"

Or they can just code it to automatically detect those minor differences. :P

Of course this is a good idea! They should make that part of their next upgrade.
