I am not suggesting that you patch every exploit ever or limit with scripters can do with the intention of preventing exploits. The former is impossible because exploiters will always find a way to bypass the patches, and the latter is not a great idea in my opinion to limit what makes Roblox Studio and the great building/scripting community truly special.
However, exploiting has, was, and always will be an issue here. I'm sure that a good portion of you saw the explosion of exploiters after the Stigma exploit that rendered major games practically unplayable for a good portion of a week. This has been an issue many times, and it will continue to be an issue unless Roblox administrators and moderators begin to crack down on those who "hack" games. I know that people can always make alternate accounts, but they will be deterred from using their programs if their accounts are receiving multi-day bans and terminations. Someone I know (I choose not to incriminate myself, hehe) used to use the Stigma exploit regularly and, despite being reported multiple times, never received even a warning on any accounts that the "hacking" took place. This cannot happen if we ever wish for exploiting to become less common.
I am also aware that moderators have many reports to sort through, and they cannot merely ban every single person that is accused of exploiting. Instead, I suggest that anyone that attempts to run a patched exploit is automatically banned (perhaps a 3-strike system, where if someone runs the program three times, their account is automatically terminated). Another solution, although perhaps not as realistic, is for reports for exploiting to be taken as a higher priority by admins and mods.
Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion. I hope that one of the brilliant members of the Roblox admin/mod community choose to read and implement some of my ideas, and I hope that they work.
P.S. I know that you have FilteringEnabled and it works great, but I have seen several brighter exploiters bypass it. Hint: CallService.
Shortened: (come on, just read it): Ban more exploiters and ban them for longer.
Yours truly, HeavilyCaffeinated

I use the terms "hack" and "hacker" in parentheses because exploiting is NOT hacking. In Eric S. Raymond's words:
"There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people ‘crackers’ and want nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word ‘hacker’ to describe crackers; this irritates real hackers no end."
True hacking is not exploiting a children's game to soothe your inferiority complex.

Both hackers and exploiters and crackers and whatever that purposefully edit the game to boost their abilities or screw with others should receive automatic IP bans.
ROBLOX has dealt with this stuff for too long; it's time to get with the program and take serious action. |

| Hacking is a federal crime. However ROBLOX cannot do anything because they hide behind VPNs and Proxies. |

How much harsher can they be? When they have proof of someone exploiting, they don't even warn them. The permanently delete them right away. Even if they are BC.
