Ok, first things first, to all of you who don't like reading large passages; leave now. I warned you...

BASIC INTRODUCTION

Ok, have you ever seen those advertsiments where you put your mouse over it and a video pops up of what its advertising? If you have not, go to nitrome.com now to see some. just put your cursor over them and a video will pop up after a number of seconds. If you have, you will understand. Well I have, countless times. Most of them are just win prises and food. Now what I want is for roblox to have this ability to the players. Now roblox is here to teach us the values of industries and marketing. But if roblox doesnt teach us the "Whole picture" of advertisments then how will we learn it? This will be a great feature for players especially when you want to do an advertisments and a "picture" isnt enough. And yes, you can click the "x" on the side of the video to stop viewing.

HOW WILL IT WORK?

This will follow the basics of making regular advertisments however you'll need to make more. There are four basic properties of making a video advertisment( in order on what is made first):

*Ordinary photo- this will be what your advert will look like, it will be like a regular advert except it will have a "roll over to view" animation on the bottom left.This will be edited the same way as it usually is.

*Video-this will be the second step in making the advert. You will connect a video from your youtube account and its done.

*Video template- this will be the frame around the video. This will be edited just like "ordinary photo" except it will be square and it will have a square hole in the middle(where the video will sit).

*Roll over to view (OPTIONAL)- This will be made differently from other of the properties. This feature will be available to add AFTER you have made all of the other properies and have put them onto roblox. Once you put all of them onto roblox and submit them, you will be asked what type of ad it is (weather its an advert that goes on top of the screen, side of the screen, or just a block on the games isle). this will determine where the roll over to view animation will be. After, you will be asked what colour you want it, all the basic colours will be there. And your done!

Your advert would be finished after all is done, its up to the computer to put all of those components together.



PRICING AND BC

This is yet to be varified ( i want it to be robux to promote kids to but robux) , im not sure what to price it. Also weather it will be a BC feature is yet to be varified also. If you do support this, tell me if it should be robux or tix or weather it should be BC.

WHAT IF PEOPLE ABUSE?

Ok, I know your going to complain about this, so ill get it over with: You can still report this type of advert, however because it cant be automatically reported the punishments for abusing this will be much severe? If you brake the rules once, you will be banned from making adverts for a week. If you brake the rules again, you will be PERMINANTLY banned from making any sort of advertisment. And if he gets permiantly banned from making adverts and he brakesthe rules in a different way, That person will be perminantly banned.


Thank you for reading, write what you think below and please, no spam. If you have any questions write it below and remembr to tell me weather or not to make this a BC feture or weather or not to make it for robux not tix. Thank you and have a nice day.

Requires Java script.
And I don't think an average ROBLOXian can use Java.

@ pingy, roblox hasnt had any problems with its WEBSITE when it comes to lagg. No websites have had problems with lagg either because of this.

@owningdutchman, the computer will automatically do this, the players will have no power of how the video comes in.

"The computer will automatically do it for you."

THIS, exhibit A, ladies & gentlemen. ROBLOX's idiotic community. They know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about EVERYTHING.

Anybody who knows how to move a mouse knows that the computer cannot create itself. The computer cannot run itself, either, or program programs on itself without getting user input first. The HUMAN must make the programs. The DEVELOPERS have to create the javascript that makes the film pop up.

OBTW, all you would need to do is make a simple looping film; even in WMM it would be easy:

- completely red picture flashes for .001 of a second -
- completely blue picture flashes for .001 of a second -
- loop -
- seizure central -

And people could upload inappropriate videos, etc, and it would be IMPOSSIBLE TO MODERATE. I don't CARE what you say here, it would be impossible to moderate. Point blank, it would be impossible.

I don't care how cool this would be.

But built in music and video on ROBLOX have so many problems...

That it's impossible to list them all.

Especially with this immature community; that expands the problems a thousandfold.

Gad, I wish ROBLOX would get rid of their COPPA compliancy, child safety awards, etc, so that the community would become a bit more mature.

@robloxkid , normal adverts are unmodderatable. Also, on your satement " ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about EVERYTHING..." you used improppper grammar, its nothing about anything. Dont tell me i'm stupid when you cant write things down properly. And when you said roblox's idiotixc community i hope that means you too, cause if you dont, that would be a lie. And if your too stupid to realize, when i said computer, i meant Roblox, the system, the roblox website, whatever you want to call it, the point is it automatically does this, it seem that your the only one here thats too stupid to get what i was saying.

Redblueredblueredblueredblue. Extra moderation time results in slower report processing.

And seriously, why? I find video ads annoying and distracting. What is the good thing about them?

@Deltav, i can see that there is a great deal of risk with these specific types of advertisments. I AM fully aware of that. However, I am also aware that ROBLOX has put a great deal of risk letting children do everything ROBLOX lets them. I mean, there was a great deal of stress when they made the GUIs, as they thought many will abuse them. However, You may not know this but the roblox community is much more mature than you state it out to be. They realize the possibilities of spam, they realize the abusive power the weild with games, and GUIs and adverts and even commenting. They already know that its wrong to spam, and knowing human nature, why would someone do something stupid like troll on an advert without an audience. Humans cant really enjoy themselves doing that if they cant even see the looks on the victims faces, thats why they do that, to enjoy the moment.

Secondly, The main reason I want this to happen is because of the new feature ROBLOX added( video) Hasnt really got much purpose as long as roblox is conserned, its just make a video and post it to youtube. I want there to be a BIGGER reason for this, i want a reason to use that feature, not just make a video of me doing random garbage every once in a while. Wouldnt it be bettter making awesome videogame trailers for people to view?

Thirdly, not everyone hates video advertisments, some people actually LIKE the advertisments, depending on whats its about, and ill be REALLY curious of what other people create using this...

Still, there is a great danger. Greater than GUI's, because apparently nobody realized it, and because ads can show up anywhere.

@Deltav, people do those things to seek attention, so why would they do that if whoever does abuse this cant see the victims faces? Thus, its like there seeking no attention at all. It must be a really sad child if all they do is waste 200 tix to make a spam-ad, then theres the possibility that they will get banned forever for doing it.
