TL;DR Read the whole thing.
C'mon ROBLOXians! Is a player, that doesn't know how to play as well as someone else, gonna kill you! Everyone must learn how to play a game at some point.
Okay, so they mass delete, but do they know better? No. They learn not to. So they take up space on games, but you do too. So they annoy people, but maybe you annoy people too. They don't know how to gun fight, or sword fight. That doesn't mean you abuse that.
Have you ever thought, that maybe you are more of a nuisance to them, then they are to you. If you are trying to learn how to do something, do others get in the way? I bet they do. If you are trying out something new, and people are being mean to you about that, does that make you feel unwelcome.
So, why don't they just make an account? Sometimes, I don't want to have to put in information, when I could try the game without it, then make the account. Well, if you are trying out this game, and others are being mean to you, constantly killing you, or just plain shunning them, because they have the word "Guest" in their name, they aren't gonna make an account.
Maybe, instead of shunning them because of their name, you could be their friend. So they can't chat, you could team up in a war game. You could build something together in a building game. In a more social game, you could do the activities together. Just because they are trying the game, doesn't mean you be a nuisance.
Okay, so maybe you just don't like guests. Then don't just ban them from your game, spawn/loop kill them in other games, don't make them feel unwelcome, and most of all, you can use the safe chat menu to tell them to stay away. The point is, you don't have to be mean.
Someone is learning to play a game, and you know what? I bet, that if you taught them a few tricks, or maybe be their friend, the game might just be that much better, and you might make a new friend. I bet that if you taught a guest to play better, they might remember your name, and if they make an account, become your friend.
I remember when I was learning to play. I was a guest, and I didn't know how to fly a plane. It was a plane game in space. It was quite fun. I said I wanted to drive and they let me. I didn't know how to fly the plane. It was an awkward moment as I tried driving it like I did a car. I asked the other people in the game. You know what they said? Some said "NOOB," but one, one person told me how. "Press Y" they said. So I did.
I flew that plane, and it was fun, very fun. You know what I did the next day? I made an account. I continued to play the game. Each time anyone asked a question, and I knew the answer, I answered it. Regardless of guest, or no guest. I remembered that game when a guest needed help, so I helped.
What is my suggestion? The ROBLOX community needs to welcome guests. Maybe a tutorial, maybe a on-site guide that explains the basics of ROBLOX. Maybe something that tells guests the dos and don'ts. Maybe even allowing them to have a restricted free chat, so that others can teach them. By a restricted free chat, I mean something that allows you to put a wide variety of words, into your own order.
The community can do positive things to get guests to join, but if an experienced player doesn't like someone that doesn't know anything about the game, well, they can still be nice. There are things individuals can do, and things that ROBLOX can do.
One thing ROBLOX can do, is when you play as a guest, a link to a special part of the wiki, devoted to teaching guests about gameplay, would teach guests how to play.
If you don't support, please say why. If you do support, thank you.

@cornholio Obviously you didn't read the whole thing. The last few paragraphs stated my suggestion.

@corn Not the wiki, not the tutorials made by admins, and Youtube tutorials aren't either. You could click the help button at the the top of the page, but I am guessing that guests will guess it is for site issues.

Yes. I personally hate when People hate on potential BC buyers and amazing ROBLOXians, and usually a lot of those people are morally dumb, if you ask me.

I totally agree. Most everyone was a guest once (except my sister I made the account for her XD) including me, and guests are, if you really think about it, the building blocks of ROBLOX. New players come to ROBLOX as guests, and if you treat them nicely, they'll like the game, then create an account. That means you will have more people to talk to, maybe he will make a fun place!

Do not support for many ideas. 1. This forum is mainly suggestions to ROBLOX as a company, this post would fit more in RT, since it is directed at the users 2. Being nice to a Guest is very hard. 2a. You said to team up with them in a war game: Guests are VERY uncooperative and you can't communicate ideas with them clearly, this is hard to do. 2b. Playing with them in a social game would be hard, because they can't talk, or see chat, and that is for a reason. It'd be like taking Helen Keller to a party. 3. A restricted free chat would not work for guests, as there are many different aged guests, and someone might slip an inappropriate word through somehow, and that would not be good for younger players or guests. I think that is enough to make you see that this idea isn't as good as you think it is. |

@Blazing It was back in 09, and for some I could free chat.
"Do not support for many ideas. 1. This forum is mainly suggestions to ROBLOX as a company, this post would fit more in RT, since it is directed at the users 2.

1. If you read the whole thing, you would see my suggestion, as I clearly stated it. 2. Being nice, as in not being mean. 2a. Hard, but what about an attempt? 2b. You can still follow them around. 3. It has some flaws, just like every other idea. I kinda got the restricted chat idea from a game I used to play when I was younger, that involved pets.
The main point, is to be nice, but, if a guest is annoying a player because they don't know how to play, ROBLOX could at least publicly link to the wiki.

This is not a suggestion to the ROBLOX admins. This for the community.
I really don't understand why guest exist. You can create an account in 1 minute or less, and if you don't want to play, don't play. |

@Yugiohfandude You didn't read the whole thing, if you didn't find the suggestion.
