That's what they said to me in an email. Hey I should copy and paste segments of it out! "Terms referring to LGBT people are allowed on ROLBOX. Unfortunately, many users still use these terms as insults. Support for LGBT people is allowed. Harassment is not."
"ROBLOX is a game visited by a wide variety of players from all around the world. They have many ages, genders, creeds, self-identities and orientations. ROBLOX strives to be a safe place for all. We want everyone to be able to fully enjoy ROBLOX as long as they follow the rules. "
That's all good and well, so, why did I get a warning for my profile?
"Terms referring to LGBT people are allowed on ROLBOX."
ROBLOX needs to get a grip tbh. One person's telling me something and another is telling me different.

I hate to ask, but what did you put on your blurb? Although keep in mind that if it wasn't acceptable for your blurb then it might not be allowed here.
Was it at all a term of harassment? If not, I'd suggest popping a PM to a moderator to get this cleared up. |

Well if you admit it WAS harassment then I don't see what the issue is?
I do think it's disgraceful that g a y is still a banned word. Yes, it can be used as harassment but if you make it out to be a taboo word to all the impressionable children on this site then you'll never educate them on the issue. |

ok to clear some stuff up, the email was from a while back, completely different subject, however some lgbt terms got thrown into the mix and i sent roblox an email.
this thing with my blurb only happened today and i was reminded of the email so i went to check hotmail to check i wasn't kidding myself

heh.
that's odd.
personally i don't give a crap whichever way the lgbt thing turns out, but if ROBLOX contradicts a rule it's something to report
it sounds a bit like you're playing the guilt card, though. calm down. o_O

Because you weren't very clear in your original post.
@rey
That thread is cancer, props to all the people on there saying they're not anti LGBT when they have no reason to argue against that idea otherwise. |

Its a delicate balancing act
They want to keep this kids friendly, while accepting others regardless of what you identify
However, if you want to uhh..."come out," find a group that advocates for people like you
I recommend true colors |

So the Owner of the Femenism group(its litterly called like that) said something she doesnt want Hijabs (the things women in the middle east are forced to wear) i said: Thats their Culture and you need to Respect that .
As soon as i said that i got attacked by 2-3 Members and my comment got also deleted and then i just left the group. |

| Expressing your s 3xuality could be seen as ODing since that it is only relevent in relationships you dont need to be blurting it out. |

Well, to be fair, LGBT is still used as insults sometimes.

| Roblox doesn't like real life issues, and although I support all LBGT+ people, It is still considered a very controversial subject world-wide. |

"Hey roblox can you remove these filters"
You are trying to fight a battle you can't win, they obviously won't remove these filters and to be fair their right, I wouldn't remove those filters either, especially not in this community and like people say kids are impressionable and it would actually lead to more discrimination then less. That is like saying "Hey donald trump can you stop trying to be elected other races deserve to be here". It's like talking to a brick wall, they can't understand you nor hear you there's no point.
