"We realize this requires work on your part to address -- and we are grateful for that. We don't succeed unless you succeed, but we all need to keep everyone in our community safe. We will be rolling out other policy changes in the future relating to filtering enabled (FE), specifically non-FilteringEnabled games will not be available to players under 13 years old. We will be following up with additional information on FE in a future post. We are actively working to make sure that implementing FilteringEnabled is easier and a clearly understood process."

>"specifically non-FilteringEnabled games will not be available to players under 13 years old."

This makes no sense at all. Most exploiters have their account age over 13, first off. Second off, younger players (more than half of ROBLOX's users) won't be able to play most games, as most good game developers are making their games FilteringEnabled.

probably because the exploiters have been able to insert explicit images into skyboxes

makes a lot of sense because of the stuff exploiters can spawn in non fe games and if a parent of one of those kids under 13 notices that in the game there will be another drama about it that roblox is danger for kids and stuff

I messed up here, it makes no sense:

"second off, younger players (more than half of ROBLOX's users) won't be able to play most games, as most good game developers are making their games FilteringEnabled."

What I meant is, some games don't have FilteringEnabled, so younger players cannot play those games.

FE disables the exploits, so the -13s will still get in games with them

the dev community will help each other get through it

meanwhile those that don't know how to script and feed off the frontpage using clickbait will inevitably die out

@RobuxLife who cares? FilteringEnabled disabled = no kids in the game.

It's not what I'm saying. Most users on ROBLOX are kids as that is what ROBLOX is aiming for.

Creating scripts with that are filtering enabled compatible is quite easy, generally those who say it's difficult are the ones who don't know how to code.


It takes longer yes, but it is much more sufficient in terms of protecting a game from exploiters.


Exploiters can play inappropriate music and can easily bypass the chat filter, exposing you children to things they shouldn't be seeing.


So this is obviously an efficient method to keep children safe, and out of inappropriate context.

This will only effect the developers who choose not to convert their scripts to filtering enabled compatibility.

I don't know why people are so confused on this, it's basic logic.

@Mat

I agree with you. This post isn't about that, it's just about how ROBLOX is shifting to an older player audience. Probably because ROBLOX isn't becoming a "game", but a platform.

Yea that makes no sense. Honestly that is already a first step for ruining Roblox completely. Developers that aren't very good with remote events (like me) will have problems...

Why is Roblox punishing developers instead of the exploiters?

Just like Mat said, FE isn't hard to transition too, but most newer developers probably don't know what FE even is. I've seen on the Scripter's sub-forum that -13 year olds don't understand ROBLOX networking and why FE is a good thing.

@RobuxLife Well FilteringEnabled and remote events is kind of hard when compared to non-FE for me. But more than being protected against exploiters, it can be used for easy client-side only changes (makes some stuff much easier)

I'm not smart whatsoever in what this stuff means, honestly. But does this mean FE games are chat filtered while Non-FE games aren't? Or is this with hacking filter? I'm not very smart with this stuff, as I said.
