Bans and Warnings
Seriously, I think the warnings shouldn't be used that much. It's just a way of saying, "We'll let this slide. (for now)". But, see, that's just telling people who get warnings that they can keep doing what they're doing. A little pixelated warning doesn't scare anyone, and I mean ANYONE. Spammer? Ban 'em. Trolling? Ban 'em. Exploiting? Ban 'em. Just hit them with a few hour ban if it's their first time, because warnings just say "You're off the hook 100%".
Biased Bans and Reports
I really can't blame the mods here. After all, they have NO visual proof that the reported person has done anything. Sure, the reports are reviewed and the chat log is checked. What if there's someone silently ODing? I mean, it's possible people! But the worst part is, these reports sometimes come from people who just don't like us. They'll report you for mean behaviour or something. Once again, the report is checked, but it's bots who give out the warnings and bans.
False Reports
OK, so this is when someone reports you for something you didn't do.
Scenario:
Person 1: -beats Person 2 in sword fight- P2: Hacking n0b. P1: I don't hack. P2: Oyus you do! P1: It's called skill, bro. P2: No, it's called hacking. P1: -.- P2: Hi YT! I present to you, "[Player name here]: No-Life Hacker". P1: Oh gawd I'm on YT? P2: -reports P1 for hacking-
See? They have no proof, but once the bot sees the word "exploit" it will usually dish out a warning. I understand the mods have other things to do, but at least check the moderation bots every once in a while. I advise about once every 2 hours.
Mod Immunity
See, this isn't common, but sometimes mods will display an act of kindness to a paying member many players call "Mod Immunity". Basically, the paying member is reported for, say, spamming. MASS spamming. Now, usually they WILL recieve a ban, but sometimes the mods feel leniant and let them off the hook. I think this should stop, because:
A: It shows the member that they can keep spamming B: It gives them the picture that spamming is OK, and C: It just encourages them to KEEP doing that.
Conclusion
Mods, I know you're busy and have better things to do. You have lives and families and sometimes you don't really have time for moderating. I respect that, but you need to clamp down on problems a bit quicker, because before you know it, your once great game will turn into a wasteland. It will be worse than now if you don't stop what is happening. I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm just trying to help you keep this site up so it doesn't crash before it has to.

Support. I got banned, and the mods didn't even look at the whole conversation. They look at ONE sentence... and make a decision. You have a support from me. |

Warnings are given' out to remind the person that they're breaking the rules.
And, besides, the person might not even know what's against the rules.
False reports are ignored.
Eh, I agree with the BC immunity.

Addition to my idea:
OK, so lots of people are PG'ed. I think I can stop this. See, ROBLOX keeps a record of how often you are banned. My idea is if the PG'er is trying to get you banned, you can rely on this record. So, if the record only has a 1 day'er, and it seems like you are purposely trying to get banned, you can stop the PG'er in their tracks. This record points out to the mods that more bad things happen then they thought.
For example, my record is almost completely clean. I have only ever recieved a one day ban. If it seems as if I'm trying to be banned, BAM, they know that all these complaints about PG'ers are true.
Pros: It would stop false bans.
Cons: You have no way of finding out who got into your account. |

@Cosimo
I really don't find it that hard. It's only hard if there's some random person who gives you their p@ss. I find it rather tempting to try it out. =/ |

Support 101%.
..Anyways I think Roblox needs to have a filter that keeps all words blocked that aren't in the dictionary along with inappropriate words. And some exceptions for faces, and maybe a few others.

The "modbots" are a common myth.
What does exist is flawed logic.
If a mod sees a high amount of reports from multiple people about a single person exploiting, and since theres no other way aside from videos to prove it, the moderator assumes "Well, if all these people say he did it, the it must be true!" |

| Let's face it, the moderation here is awful. I doubt there is anything that will be done about it. |

| Agent is right some one that hated me reported my post for spam so I got a warning for it. It said your post was "spam" when it was clearly not. |
