Tl;dr: Because we didn't have filtering enabled.

Recently our game was put under review by ROBLOX for the 4th time in under 3 months, we are as confused about this as you are and please bare with us while we resolve the "Issue" (I use that term VERY lightly), that caused our game to be put under review again.

Here's more detail on it for people who care:
Our game was put under review by ROBLOX due to their new policy on Filtering Enabled, which was put up on the dev forum not too long ago, not even giving us a chance to react to the new policy changes.
You can read the article here: http://devforum.roblox.com/t/improving-the-safety-of-our-community/33201
As you can see from that it clearly states: "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."
Our game was not filtering enabled, but instead of putting an age restriction on it, they simply put our game under review, this entire change was made, about an hour before they put our game under review, so we had 0 time to react, if you do not know, to make a game filtering enabled we have to almost change every script in the game, not something you can do within an hour on a game like Kingdom Life 2, which has many different scripts, and again even if we did have time to do it, no-where in the article itself it states that games that are not filtering enabled will be put under review.

My personal opinion on this situation is that it isn't the smartest move, as ROBLOX runs off of in-game purchases, advertisements, and sponsors, and so shutting down a majority of their games due to filtering enabled looses them money. Because these popular games that are being shut down are attracting non-builders club members, thus not allowing them to see and possibly click on advertisements that show up before they play the game, thus loosing them money. As well as being uninformative to game developers about games actually being put under review, and not just age restricted is just plain wrong, we are not psychic, and we do not work at roblox, so we didn't have a chance to react to any of this in a proper manner, thus making us and them loose money over something that shouldn't be happening in the first place. As a final statement I'd like to ask any ROBLOX moderators why we, the developers of games that make you money have to deal with patching exploit issues, I believe that is your job, not ours.

Good job on the last sentence slapping Roblox over fixing exploit issues. They can censor us and shut down our games for age restrictions but can't fix exploits? Sad.

To be honest, i want age restriction. it'd be for the best, because no more FRP. Atleast not every server you get a FRP.
And i stand by you 100% about this whole thing.

Also, What is FE? Curious.

FE = Filtering Enabled

And age restriction could absolutely come into play, preventing Guests and honest 9-year olds from coming in, as not having a proper filter in your chat would make the game 13+.

I can't really cite it but an admin posted that stuff in the devforum.

It wasn't put under review for name tag filtering, we already had to deal with that.
Filtering enabled and text filtering are very different things.

Of course, typical ROBLOX, jumping to conclusions and doing things without anyone's permission. Now I can't even make names. What ####### at the ROBLOX ###

This is honestly so frustrating! I've only been playing Roblox midway through last year, and all I've done is Roleplay on this game! I do not want age restrictions, because I do think I am below the age by a year. I roleplay in the chats with my friends sometimes when the game is under review, and almost 78% of what we write is has tagged. Do not make age restrictions that high, make it at least 11+!

I don't believe it's possible to make it 11+. I'm not telling you to, and certainly not saying that you should in any circumstance, but it is possible to lie, yes LIE about your age to get into the game. Weird, right? Also, please do age restrict it. It will cut down on a lot of fail RP.

I agree with the whole money thing but grammar. Work on it, it's "losing" not "loosing".

Darn. That really sucks. And I just bought the three game-passes too lol.

If you can answer this, then when do you believe the issue will be resolved? Could it be through the course of days, weeks, dynasties?

This kind of upsets me. ROBLOX's new filters have ruined games. And, it's saddening, because, there will be a lot of people, who won't be able to play.

Age restriction won't really help. Frp is not by age, but by experience. But even if all kids are FRP, many will bypass the system by lying on their age.


You really think 100% people are honest?

Messaged that idea to Xenh.
He said the non-13+ game would get shutdown.
Not sure why.
