| I mean, that would be the end of the world wouldn't it?! If you could post links on forums then one thing would lead to another and total chaos and destruction would happen! But its all good since roblox lets you be less social than any other forum and disallows such a feature. |

Well, some person would just post a bad link, or even one that leads to a virus. That's why ROBLOX doesn't allow it.
So no, doesn't matter anyway. |

| You do notice that people post links with "x"s and then say take out the x's right? |

@ploki52 yeah they can't check the link first? Like what about that certain place with a red and white logo? <- I CANT EVEN SAY IT! We aren't allowed to post even popular links? They check pics, shirts and pants, they can't check links? |

it would be simpler and safer just to post no offsite links
there are forum mods, they dont need to spend time checking site links when they could be moderating something else |

I see their reasoning behind it but it feels really constraining.
They don't even allow us to post links to websites to YouTube or the Roblox fansites listed in the blogroll.

Yes, but one HUGE difference with the roblox forum and other forums. ROBLOX IS A KIDS GAME!

And then someone posts a link to an adults only website.
We can't screen all links that are posted. People given the opportunity will post bad links. Therefore, nobody can post links. |

| what about links that you already check, the youtube home page is safe (obviously), it would be interesting to have preset links. Or what about video embedding, so you could actually post it on the site? (of course you'd have to write a script to check for the inappropriate tag that youtube already sends out to stop any inappropriate videos from showing up). Like haven't any of the employees or staff thought of any ideas like that? |

Good thing YouTube has flagging to prevent this sort of thing. And Roblox has the Report button!

@MDB
I'm guessing that means you don't trust us enough to report it, not that you'd delete it right away anyway :T |

Yet I am totally for Roblox links in the Forums, not outside ones, but the links must be hot.
It takes efforts to copy a link, then paste it, then click back to Forum, then Forum Talk, then to the thread.
That's at least a minute or two expended. |
