Hello, ROBLOXians and ROBLOX Administrators. I hope you're checking this part of the forum, as you claim to be. I'm sorry if this becomes... "Dramatically emo", and I'm sorry if this simply bores you.

I'm, at the very least, a 4 year ROBLOX veteran. I've had many accounts when I was younger and they were all banned for some very reasonable things, though for half of them I simply forgot my password. I was stupid and I deserved it. It was after being banned for the duration of one day that I began to straighten up. I did my best to avoid causing trouble. Back then, ROBLOX's responses to reports actually helped make ROBLOX safe and welcoming. Back then, I actually enjoyed waking up and playing on ROBLOX. But, for a while I haven't felt the same. Almost everyday, I'm witnessing the same people get bullied by the same person again and again. What's worse is that some people actually join in on the bullying. I'm experiencing the very same thing, and I'm nearing my breaking point. Every night I'm going to bed trying to forget what has happened today. Every morning I wake up scared of logging in to ROBLOX because I know I'll get bullied, again. I can't do anything about it, because fighting back hurts and reporting it ends up nowhere. Maybe, I'm just a mi#ority in ROBLOX. Maybe, the system works fine. But, it's never worked for me.

I've dealt with a lot on ROBLOX, and I've learned that people are diverse and young in one way or another, and that they can grow and learn from their mistakes. Take not that I'm no sweetheart, but I'm always ready to forgive and build # kind relationship. I'm always for fun and helping others. But, as I explained before, I've been experiencing bullying. This person has cut many deep wounds in me, and I'm not so ready to forgive this person. It's one of those "bite the hand that feeds you" situations. Many times, this user has violated ROBLOX rules, and many times I've reported this user. All of what I've reported is obviously bullying. But, I feel that the reports never actually are... attended to.

People have said that this is just "the harsh reality of life" and that I'm just "letting yourself get hurt by some random stranger on the internet." That "you shouldn't be here if you can't handle it." But, you see, ROBLOX is where I go to escape reality. These people aren't just random strangers if I meet them everyday, and it's even worse when they're where I go to have fun.

My understanding of how the report system works is; a player reports something or someone and then any recent posts or chat (and whatnot) are sent to computers. These computers go through everything and check to see if these posts/chat ####### ### ROBLOX rules and/or have inappropriate content. If they do, then the content is sent to an admin that handles the punishments. I've no clue if this is how things have always gone, or if you've changed things because ROBLOX has... God knows how many users. I get it, you probably don't have time to deal with millions of reports, and likely most of them aren't legitimate reports. Due to this, many legitimate reports aren't handled and the problem just goes on. And on, and on.

Do computers understand what bullying is, though? At most, I imagine them scanning for inappropriate terms and phrases. To know what bullying is, you have to be capable of being bullied. If an actual person read through what has been happening in my life on ROBLOX, they'd understand why I'm breaking down.

I've to be quick, right now, so I'll get to the solution. Please, do a better job at caring for ROBLOX users. Get people, and not a computer, to read through our problems and help. I'm trying to have fun, but for a while now my days on ROBLOX have been very... depressing. Make ROBLOX great again... Aheh.

Thank you, Reader.

This, this is why we're stuck with this horrible Chat Filter.

This is the internet, a person miles away is being a jerk because simply, you don't know who they are. Just Block them and/or mute them in-game (/mute [Player Name]).

Whenever I get cyberbullied, such as being teased at or insulted at a personal level, I usually ignore the bully.

There is a block feature in the default ROBLOX chat ingame. Just type in "/block [playername]" and you will no longer receive ingame messages from the player ever again.

Like alpha said, you can block/mute the person in game.
I know how you feel, but there is a way to ignore it. just mute them. If they keep joining your game then you can just change that in the settings and you can set it to ''Only Friends'' or ''No One''.


you cant paint if you dont have a paintbrush *points at head*

It's nice that you're trying to help, I'm glad. But, you see, this bullying happens in a group, your normal everyday fan group. This person aims to publicly harass me, and so they'd never message me or follow me into a game with random players. I love this fan group too much to not visit it. Last I checked, blocking doesn't work in groups, and so I'm back to square one. I could ignore everything, but I'm still reading it all. Maybe that's my fault--reading what the user says. There's not much I can do, without violating ROBLOX rules myself. Not sure what I'm trying to say here... But, I'm just hoping that things get better, to help myself and any other user on ROBLOX.

I have checked your fangroup and your definition of bullying is pathetic your simply in an argument with somebody who is making better points than you are I suggest you just stop talking to him to show that the argument is over.
