With plugins,we cannot simply put our plugins up for download on ROBLOX,like mods,you have to put them up for download on a different site,such as @dfly or m3diafir3,then you'll need a file manager such as 7z1p,or W1nR@R.So to keep people from getting banned for telling people where to download their plugins,we should repeal the ban on offsite links,at least on the forum.

(I have the numbers and signs because ROBLOX doesn't allow offsite "links",and doesn't allow me to speak a breath of them.)

I do agree with soem of this. For example since I am Movie President who always uploads Roblox movies to Youtube, I cannot show people the links legally. I understand Roblox wants that ban so there's no inappropirate websites being shown or images. But remove it on sites like Youtube or those where we upload stuff too. Maybe even Facebook. Since these 2 we have a connection with.

Domain names/site names are allowed. That's why you can say "Search 'never gonna give you up' on YouTube."

Well, even though the person who is in charge of the moderators said that we can say domain names, the autofilter seems to disagree. My previous post was blocked.

Or at least take the ban off the forums.

However, I support this. The no-offsite-link rule wasn't a permanent fix, only a patch to cover a sudden wave of inappropriate material.

I received a warning for sending someone links to video clips of a certain show targeted at 6-8 year-old girls.

So if it isn't a permanent solution,then it can be repealed at anytime,or changed.

It seems they clung to it for some strange reason. I don't see it being lifted any time soon.

The mods don't want to look at every offsite link. It's about time efficiency. Although I usually support every change that increases efficiency, this one is questionable.

I half support but people can trick others and it could be a horrible virus or a keylogger.

Well,due to the situation that people post dirty things,without the off-site links ban,they should hire a larger staff to moderate offsite links.

Well, they were kinda shot in the foot by the California labor laws.

Move the company somewhere else,that law can't follow them if they move.

Roblox would be down for months. Their database has to be enormous, with enough space to store (I think, but I'm not sure) 10 KB of data per user per place, plus the places and users themselves. :U

I think a few months off to move in,update,repair,and hire we admins would do the site some good.

Yeah, but they'd lose quite a large chunk of the player base. And an even larger percentage of the paying player base. :P

That's what they do anyway....I'm saying it would be better if they did shut down for a bit and clean up somethings.They can make Major updates when people are playing,you would notice that sometimes people don't take,but they're still moving,even when you say something to them.This doesn't happen a lot,but it happens about every five months or so.
