Roblox is being changed to target users under the age of 13. Proof can be found in the description of this game the front page of roblox and in the fact OT is being deleted.

https://www.roblox.com/games/10705224/Build-Your-Own-Mech

We will NOT be welcome in Roblox News And Development, By now you've probably read that game's description. I have just discovered this about games being in "experimental mode". It is stupid I can almost guarantee the crap you see on the first page won't be in "experimental mode". Most of us all have that one game we love to play, but has a relatively small base of users who play, well looks like this update is going to dig the graves of quite a few of those games. Who thought this was a good idea? The chat filters were already bad enough (completely broken) now we are going to have "Game Filters" Roblox might as well delete the ability to chat along with the ability to create games whats the point anymore? *puts on tinfoil cap* Roblox is in a mind set that should have died with the last election. They need to allow the more senior community some freedom all we see is more restrictions.

[original Post]
Maybe OT is being removed because it's a place where people can voice opinions and ideas that don't follow the "Roblox Community Guidelines". I mean think about it sure other sub forums are being removed and the Roblox mods censor everything with an iron fist, but... this one is naturally harder to moderate since it gives legitimacy to threads that are well... Off-topic Roblox mods can't simply look at the name of a thread decide it doesn't belong and delete it. They have to click the thread and review it's content, which is why I predict when we move to Roblox news and development we are going to be in a situation where our threads are constantly being deleted until we give up and stop posting. Deleting Off-Topic will be a relief on moderation. In short we are a problem and we are being removed.

Non experimental games AKA filtering enabled games can contain some form of violence but it cannot be bloody, gutty, murder stuff.

It's hiding the game from people which means less players which can mean a dead game.

The experimental mode is a safety precaution for games that don't have filtering enabled. Under 13s can still play them, they're just not as visible... and eventually won't be visible at all.

This is because most modern games have filtering enabled.

It's better for everyone, honestly.


Forum update is sad though.

Under 13 shouldn't even be able to use in-game chat so why have such heavy filtering.

Because Roblox wanted to be like other children's games, which allow chatting.

I mean, if you're a teenager, you're technically a child.

Most of roblox's audience is people ages 6-18. The one beyond that are usually young developers who played Roblox when they were children and are ages 19-23.

speaking of the heavy chat filter.. roblox was best when children used menu chat and teenagers were allowed (for the most part) unfiltered text chat. the reason why the filter is so bad now is because of the whole meepcity ########## thing, and those incidents were not the fault of the older robloxian audience. the problems with inappropriate behavior in games started popping up more frequently when roblox allowed kids the ability to have text chat. these are kids in the games who are trying to bang a quick one out, not adults. they're either kids or trolls. if roblox just woke tf up and gave kids menu chat with stricter parental controls we wouldn't have this problem. mommy doesnt want little jimmy to talk to me, and i dont want to talk to little jimmy either. he's annoying. smh

Roblox can't let the chat be rated T though? If only teens can chat.
