You know how many users create a lot of accounts to either spam or donate to themselves? ROBLOX has attempted to fix this problem by adding a Captcha. But, users can easily insert the letters and still spam and donate to themselves. They've also tried to make users wait 15 seconds and to post after being a day old. But, these users can wait a day and spam all day the following day.

Solution: How about only allow 5 alts per IP address? This means, allowing a user that has created 5 alts can not be allowed to do it again because the user is on the same IP. How about charge users 100 ROBUX per account they make after their 5 account limit has been reached?

How it would work: Users register for a new account and try to bypass the 5 alt limit. They are asked to insert their account and pw and then it logs them in on a mini page. It then tells the user that he/she will lose 100 ROBUX if he/she were to continue. The user would agree and it would say "Take me back to registration" and then you can continue registering.

Cons: Some may move to another computer and try there. Some may reset their IP or change it.

Pros: It would be more time consuming for a user to switch computers. It's also time consuming for a user to reset or change their IP.

Please, if your an Administrator and read this, please consider this idea. There would still be spam, but not as much as there is now. If your a normal user, simply reply down below if you support this idea or not and your reason why.

If you say "TL;DR", then too bad. You wont know about this amazing idea.

No, if five people live in the same house that all play roblox they couldn't make anymore accounts. It should just be email, not IP.

@14ness

If there's five people in the house who play ROBLOX, and five accounts allowed, then it all works out, right?

No.
Some people use alts for good.
Some people have siblings.
Some people have siblings with alts.
Some people have alts, and siblings with alts.

Getting my drift?

"Some use alts for good."
You're not supposed to have alts.

"Some have siblings."
This being why it allows five accounts per IP.

"Some have siblings with alts."
Once again, no alts.

"Some have alts, and siblings with alts."
Same deal. You're not supposed to have them.

I'm with crazyjonny. Also, if you don't have alts, are you supposed to play while you're main is banned?

@crazy

Well then that's your fault for letting your friend make the account at your house.


@georged

Are you dumb?

You're banned for a reason. You're not supposed to play for that time. How the heck is it a punishment if you're still playing?

Proof to ROBLOX? They could raise the age cap for your IP address.

Most support, if the IP limit goes over 5 because of sibilings there must be a parental account with all 6-? accounts on it, but if that limit goes over 12 then it locks, because then they are just adding all accounts.

School computers also must register that they are a school allowing roblox to students then they get unlimited. But teachers can delete accounts if they are used for alts.

@Dace

How would a teacher know if it is an alt?

I doubt a they would even bother registering it to ROBLOX as a school. =P

You people do know it takes about 5 seconds to change your Internet Protocol address using a proxy or VPN right?
