Be more careful. Look at the creator. If it's ANY Jaredvaldez, start hating him. That is all.

@virtual

I do that.
But how would you know it's misleading unless you play?

This feature would be helpful to all.

@Lindershi

That's quite true, though random thumbnails could get rather annoying (sneak-peaks in places you don't want people seeing such as VIP, unfinished parts of the game you're holding off as a surprise, or simply blank space leaving the person confused as to what they're looking at).

Personally, I would just trust the places that have more preview pictures. Hardly anyone ever puts effort into putting more than one fake picture.

There's no foolproof answer, sadly.

Not everyone has the mental capacity to tell fake games apart.

@Lindershi

I guess that's a fair enough statement, though I still don't want to risk sneak-peeks and whatnot.

Still, I'm one guy. My opinion is insignificant. Maybe other game-makers are perfectly okay with this.

Just make it so that false game titles are in violation of the rules. Then you report them, then the creator gets banned and the title deleted. However, that doesn't completely solve the problem - the creator still made a lot of money off of his falsely advertised place. So, give him a ticket penalty. Take from him all the tickets that he earned from that place, or the ROBUX equivalent, and if he was clever enough to purchase clothing with his money, take away the clothing, too. Say a place had 20k visits, that was reported for false titles. If the creator had 9k tickets and 1k ROBUX, and the TC value of ROBUX was 10:1, then you would take his 9k tickets and 1k ROBUX away from him for a value of 19k tickets. Now, you still have 1k left to take, so you take 1k worth of clothing away from him. Simple as that, now you've delivered all the necessary punishment, and this won't happen again.

Some people title their games before they even build them.

we are looking for a way to prevent this, not a reason to ban people.

But how could moderators know if it's misleading or not without entering the game? I think someone has mentioned this before. Can't put my finger on it.

What if trolls just report it for being misleading?
What if 9 year old kids just report for being misleading just because they got intimidated and rage-quit?

I do agree though, nobody should be getting profit for lying.

" Close out roblox browser, never come back again "

I'm sure they won't do that....
