WARNING: TL;DR, and possible WNTS. Do not read if you don't like reading or are sensitive to that stuff. Oh, and loads of hashtags. Probably.

Okay, so many players, including myself, are annoyed with the recent updates. Though I haven't really seen any thread go into loads of detail about the updates and what needs to change and stuff like that, so I thought I'd make this to express my p##sonal feelings towards these updates.

1. The filter update - Okay, what? Just why? I thought the admins said they listen to S&I? Ever since the "hashtag update" people have been asking for it to be reverted or made more reasonable. And what do we get? The exact opposite. We csn barely say anything without it being hashtags, in fact, I expect most of this will become hashtags. I have seen some things about ROBLOX online lately about adults pretending to be children and that sort of stuff, but instead of making the chat filter more strict on it, maybe ROBLOX should actually monitor the chat and ban people who need to go?

TL;DR: ROBLOX are doing unneccessary updates without seeing what players want.

2. The thumbnail update - So at least for the chat filter one, I can kind of see why ROBLOX did it, but this one? Why? Some of the most popular games have had the thumbnail removed for literally no reason other than showing violence and military stuff like tanks, which is kinda dumb considering two of the genres of games are 'Fighting' and 'Military'. This update had literally ZERO justification behind it, and moderators, if you see this, please tell me why you decided this would benifit the players?

TL;DR: ROBLOX are wasting their time on unneccessary updates

3. Games under review - Seriously? Games going under review because it had something you didn't like in it? If you think there's something in a game not suitable for young children, make it 13+, and if there's something in a game not suitable for the website at all, ban it. Not hard ROBLOX, not hard.

TL;DR: ROBLOX are making extra work for theirselves and annoying players in the process


My thoughts: So, alot of people complained about the removal of tix, which while I was sad at first, I could understand ROBLOX were doing since they were in a bit of a financial struggle and people were botting for free robux. But these updates? The only reason I can see these being any "good" is to make ROBLOX "safer", of which the only one of these which does make it "safer" is the chat filter, which is way too strict.

My suggestions: ROBLOX is meant to be about playing games, making games, and making friends, right? And for people who don't have many real friends *cough* me *cough*, #### ###### ######## knowing that we can't communicate with our online friends as much, if at all, because everything we say is covered in hashtags. So just make ROBLOX safer without it being boring and strict. If I wanted my l##e to be boring and strict, I would stay in school after the end of the day.

So yeah, these are my thoughts on the new updates, if you managed to actually read all of this, then gg, and tell me what you think.

Each paragraph talks about a different topic, so it wouldn't make sense to make one big TL;DR at the end

ROBLOX............... STOP......... NOW........... I'M TICKED..... FIRST THE FILTER, NOW THE THUMBNAIL? I CAN'T AFFORD A FREAKING THUMBNAIL AND YOU'RE ASKING ME TO PAY ROBLOX?!?!

ROBLOX STOP MAKING SO MUCH MONEY SO YOU CAN BUY MANSIONS FOR YOURSELF OR SO YOU CAN BUY MINECRAFT AND SHUT MINECRAFT DOWN SO PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO SWITCH TO ROBLOX. JUST STOP.



Good thing the thumbnail is still pretty nice. Still though. They should make it custom as a "free thumbnail" so if they really want they can select it...

There is a "Automatic Thumbnail" for free. But it requires to be approved by the moderators. Same thing for decals and clothing.

These new "default" thumbnails are VERY mislead and widespread confusion. So the question about this thumbnail update: Is that necessary to do that?

I agree with everything on here. Most parts I agree about are the tix and the 13+. Instead of doing these things, can't Roblox just make it where you have to be 13+ to play violent games, or maybe if you are under the age of 13, you just cant see the game page at all! The tix though, I understand. Although we are mad and upset about it, we have to understand that roblox removed tix in order to get more money, by people buying robux and BC. Roblox should take this forum into consideration.

^^ Yeah like, Roblox isn't making the games on their website, we the players (not me in particular) are making them. I've seen it said before, ultimately it is the people who create games that are the ones who are actually making them money. I mean it's simple, without people making games Roblox would be an empty shell unless Roblox stepped up and started making their own. Overall I do agree with the main point of this thread it does need to be fixed and soon. I don't mean it in negative way towards Roblox but as a someone who has been playing for eight years now, it's really disappointing in how this platform is shaping up.

I feel like they should fix things instead of doing what they normally do.

The chat filtering has been bad for so long. There was a while I saw less things as hashies. But the past few weeks it's been terrible again. Can't even search up some groups anymore because for no legit reason they are hashed. A lot of words have always been hashed for no reason. And I've never seen explanations.

The thumbnail is not needed. Roblox just has the mind of a child it seems. They think nothing is wrong with their "glorious" work so they work on pointless things. Pride... it's just too high. There are much better things they could have added within the past few months. Instead we got things like Accessories tab and Auto Generated Thumbnails.

Yeah, I feel like there should be a button in Configure someone can make for 13+ or 16+ cuz a lot of teens and very young adults play this game I've seen. Most people around 14 start learning about "bad things" from their peers so they don't care if some places have something not kid friendly in it.

I've seen people joke about it before, but they're completely right when they say that ROBLOX need to stop playing games for twitch and start fixing their game

Okaay, a little update. I wake up this morning and the thumbnails for all my games were changed to the roblox default ones despite nothing being wrong with any of my games
