The games page is obvoiusly full of copied games.

To prevent the copiers from getting super successfull, the games page should show off random games instead of the most popular games.

Support?

No support?

Supported. It also gives those few who make their games, and make them good, to get a chance to get noticed for it, even when they are people who's only "friend" is BM.

Of course. Tyred of seeing base war permamently at front page while speeding wall, ultimate build and other epic games are forgotten.

So we get 99% Happy homes in Robloxia, and the people who actually work hard on their games don't get their just reward. Yeah, what a genius idea.

Fire; it does stop the copied games from getting overly famous, though.

At what cost? It would be impossible for any sorting algorithm to determine which games are "copied" or not. The good games would be gone along with the bad games.

Sometimes that's the only way to do it.
Look at most of out "Water purification techniques" For example, Chlorine. We constantly bombard our water with that, gets rid of the bad pollutants and parasites, but also wears down the human immune system.

This is more like bombing a continent because there are some terrorists on it.

Yes, it is. And that's the most effective way to destroy them terrorists.

It is the community's choice what game they want to play. Sorting games randomly would ensure that NO ONE would be able to find the right game and most of the games will be starter maps. Please think a bit harder before posting.

I don't support. Yes, it'd be nice, but there is a flaw. Alot of games on ROBLOX have never been worked on or are in progress.

Maybe there should be a rating system or something... or an "Ignore this place" function so it won't appear in your pages

Maybe favourites should be a rating system?

Like
"I give this place a whoppin' 9.5!!!"

And on your homepage it has 'top likes' ordering from highest to lowest, hiding anything 6 below.

You can see highest rated games, most popular games, and random games.
Highest rated games will be the default when they click the 'games' page


just my ideas

I did a test in studio. I made a script that picked 16 different numbers between 1 and 26 million, representing the userId. Here are all the games that came up:

How about it also has a way to weed out some, such as...
Finding a place, with a random ID, out of a group of places with 100+ Visits, and 3+ Favs.
Gets rid of MOST of the starter-map games.
