Alot of people are probably getting scammed by those ROBLOX scams. And don't say it's false, this site is about 80% kids under 11 who don't have money to buy R$ or a membership. Are you sick of those bots, who tell you ''You won 15,000R$! Just go to this site that looks alot like Roblox.com, except it's not, it's actually a virus!''

Let's report them. All of them.
Now I see you there:
//But they're bots! They grow exponentially!
That's the point. Let's get rid of the comment sections. Ask admins to do it. With enough support, they'll do it. They have to, right? We got forums, anyway.
Also, by deleting bots accounts, we can make it so that another person doesn't get scammed by the same bot. Multiply that by all of you who read this post, and you're cutting them short by quite a bit.

Also, let's actually change the filter. It's a bit off topic from what I'm going on here, but seriously, ROBLOX's old filter was actually pretty good at blocking ######## and not actual chat. That would not only make things more complicated for scammers, but it would probably help us all. Like, seriously, who likes #################################### (Intentional)

Last thing! Reply to this post, so it gets a bit higher and mods actually take time to read this. If you're against my ideas, tell me why. I'll reply with my suggestion to fix the issue you're mentionning.

Roblox is in construction of fixing this but it is not guaranteed to be fully fixed as it is a bot and it's hard to stop them.

Roblox shall ask you to be patient while they are fixing this , please stay calm and don't click on the link!

I agree or they could make it so you cant put numbers or anything related to robux in comments, this could cause problems otherwise but #### with it roblox is all little whining kids ####### about prices of game passes anyways

"Let's get rid of the comment sections."

hate to break it to you but they've basically done that for every section in the catalog rn.

Let me stop you there, they're not bots. They're REAL peoples ##### stolen from them from the moment they enter their # # into that site. A lot of them are sold on sites like v 3rm if considered decent and if they have no # #### attached to them, there is a huge chance that the original owner will never get their acc back RIP ox cat,2008-2016 (My 2008 main, I AM BACK)

one year is far too much. maybe one or two weeks is less of a ridiculous idea.

Quote Of The Day: Try not to stress over the shady people who betrayed you. I know it hurts, but the truth is that they were always shady, they're never going to change, and you're actually much better off now because at least you know who they really are.

Or better yet add the system where you must type in a word or number code randomly generated to post a comment. It will cut spam 79%

i'm just saying, the catalog is probably used as frequently as games; and besides- content creators (as in game developers) thrive on ideas from the community. they can update their game as frequently as they'd like, whereas once hats, shirts, pants & t-shirts etc are made, they cannot be edited or improved upon.

i still agree with whoever's idea it was to set a time limit before you can post comments on games.

I like the code idea, like how Google does to confirm you are not a robot.

They have the code when you want to post a forum post. If they do this for every comment you want to post it will get pretty obnoxious if you decide to spam.

perhaps combining BOTH of the ideas (having to have your account a certain age before you're able to post) & CAPTCHAs for every time you want to post? i think that's a pretty much failproof anti-spam system.

It's riduclous that I can receive 5 messages after I report an account for phsihing

It's even more ridiculous when after those 5 messages, and the user is banned immediately another user starts sending me the same messages

The other option is we nuke all comments entirely ... and no free speech...
