This is generally aimed for Roblox to look at, but I wouldn't mind some feedback from players.

I believe that banned symbolism (such as the German National Socialist symbol since the word is banned...) and words such as the organisation that is banned in Germany, can be used if the game is of historical premise such as a game describing or in an event (Going to use ww2 examples since they are mostly the ones banned) such as the holocaust. I know, kids play this game, we've all heard this before... But really do kids care if we mention a political party from 70-odd years ago? or an ideology they don't know themselves? I agree, there should be warning such as in game descriptions with these words/symbolism it should say "This game may contain symbols or names that may offend users".

Thanks for any reply :D

Freedom of speech doesn't exactly exist on Roblox, because Roblox is a private company, separate from the government.

back from 3 day ban, oh boy

"ROBLOX is a website for people 8-18!" Wait, there's something you missed, "8-18!". You can say 'make it a 13 only feature' *kid changes age to 13* and before you go saying "blame the parents" they shouldn't have to constantly monitor the child just so they don't do anything stupid on the internet.

Its the kid's fault for falsely changing their age, not the parents, so please, don't think I would blame people who don't have control on children on games.

Support. Let's be honest, by the time you're 8 you already know all the "inappropriate" things that happened during WWII anyway.

@zac I said "before you say 'make it a 13 and up feature'"

@re, yes, but It's history, and history is full of worse things.

I don't know why we're banning the Nationalist Socialist symbol but NOT COMMUNISM? Communism has nearly killed 100 million through slave labor altogether and Roblox hasn't banned it.

Stalin and Mao killed millions

Stalin about 10 million

Mao Zedong killed about 78 Million People

Yet we can still say their names and not the one whom led Germany

I think people EVERYWHERE need to realize that context is EVERYTHING.

Sure some Jewish people would get upset if people uploaded the sw#st#k# for historical purposes, but they're idiots.

Sure some African Americans would get upset if people uploaded the stars and bars for historical purposes, but again, they're idiots.

I fully support this. The advancement of mankind as a society begins with moves like these.

Your freedom of speech is limited. For instance, you can't scream I'VE GOT A BOMB on a plane and not get in some kind of trouble for it.
