ROBLOX want it to seem like there is more users than it actually is.
Like thousands of alts are being made for these names

Just a prediction

Maybe, as if that already wasn't a thing.

I'd underscore this account if I had the money, though they an a excuse of a namesnipe.

It's more likely that Roblox realized that names were getting all used up (A good portion due to the fact that so many people on roblox think it's cool to steal namesnipes or make 20 alt accounts) and by allowing that one single character into user names, there are suddenly many more possible names for new users to have.

@ThePilot

And by introducing underscores, even more alts and namesnipes are being made. See what is wrong with what your post is stating?

@Meowth There is nothing wrong with my statement. That just is the reason they added underscores.

@s_ynt

lmao doesn't help when almost every name is taken anyway.
And don't call me stupid with your ugly name that you wasted 1K buying (:
Think before you write next time
It actually says "PREDICTION".

I don't think it's actually possible to use up every username.

There's literally infinite possibilities.

Yea, lol.

I doubt it had anything to do with them "running out of usernames" though.

They should just make it that you need an e-mail to create an account and not make it optional. Then limit the amount of accounts to one e-mail and then the problem is slightly reduced. Of course people can create more e-mails but it would certainly decrease a lot of the creation of alt accounts.


I'm not great at advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

@pit, How so? I'm open to see why you think it's terrible. However this whole situation is terrible, any way to limit alt creation would be useful.

Just allows people to make even more spam alts to take up names, which defeats the purpose of adding the underscores back in the first place.

Let's not forget how many NSFW spam alts are being made with the new possibilities the underscores bring.
Wouldn't be as bad if they had a filter on usernames.

Once underscore runs out they will probably start doing @ names or -


Underscores = All posts gone :(
