Alright. I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of threads complaining about irrelevant game names, and pictures. Finally, I have figured out a way, so that scammers stop stealing money, and the scammed can be warned.
Alright, so let's say you join a game called "Chocolate Factory". When you get in, you realize that it's a sword fighting game. You are very angry someone tricked you.
But instead of ranting on the forums, and starting riots, you can click a button below the game called "Misleading". When you press the button, it adds to the number of people who believe the game is misleading. It is public for EVERYONE to see. You can change your mind, only if the game is updated.
Right between suggested games, and the game your at there will be a button, and a number. If you click the button, it adds to the number. However, you may only be 13+, and a Veteran to decide if the game is misleading or not. Also, to make sure users don't troll, and alt abuse, it is one per IP address.
No matter how many people find the game misleading, ROBLOX won't content delete it. When 1 million people do, ROBLOX will send a mod to investigate. If the mod agrees, it's shutdown. They do this consecutively with every million.
If ROBLOX doesn't add this, then at least make it so you can't shutdown comments.
Please give constructed criticism, if you have any to give. |

Okay, Really love this and support and nice example of how some games are misleading (chocolate factory to Sword fighting) made me LOL because it's so true. However I don't really like the idea of 13+ and veteran, I'd rather go with if you have been on roblox for 2 days you can click it just like they do that with foruming and comments on the catalog.
if life gives you lemons keep them because. Hey, free lemons! |

Support except for a few things.
First, I do not think that you should have to be a certain age (or account age) to have an opinion about misleading games.
Only recently did ROBLOX achieve 100K consecutive users (not accounts created, users on at the same time), so you may and probably will have to tone down you number of 1M votes. |

| I guess Veteran was a bit cautious, but there are a LOT of trolls out there. I still say 13+ should stay though, because it doesn't make a difference. Anyone can lie. Thanks for supports. |

No support, I'd rather false advertising be against the rules so we can report and it gets content deleted.
"you may only be 13+, and a Veteran to decide if the game is misleading or not."
No. Younger users should be able to report false advertising, and being a veteran doesn't make an opinion more valuable than someone who hasn't been playing for a year.
"it is one per IP address."
No. What about families who play Roblox? So if my brother reports a game for false advertising now I can't?
"No matter how many people find the game misleading, ROBLOX won't content delete it."
So if the game has only been played 13,000 times, and 11,000 times it has been reported for misleading content it won't go away? 84% of the players have reported it, why shouldn't it be deleted?
"When 1 million people do, ROBLOX will send a mod to investigate."
One MILLION? That's ridiculous on so many levels. |

That is a good idea, but it requires too much work, and won't stop scams...

@Viver,
You might try sending reesemcblox the link to this thread since she is the community manager. She is not online at the moment though. |

Look at response above
"So if the game has only been played 13,000 times, and 11,000 times it has been reported for misleading content it won't go away? 84% of the players have reported it, why shouldn't it be deleted?"
Who says those players have even played the game? It currently isn't against the rules to do that. This doesn't thread doesn't say to add a rule, it adds something to prevent it. |

@most
Yes 1 million is a little much, but it's more like testing it out on very large scam places. If it works, then there could be a ratio on visits/favorites/misleads in the near future.
@head
They'd have to make a bunch of new pages. With this, they'd need to adjust one.
@tahu
I just did :D |

@vivers reply to this: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=76767487
you must realize that they can just change some code(meaning like 2 words changing the sql) for each page. Not that hard at all. Yes, it will take time. This suggestion would actually be harder to do, adding a whole entire row to the sql tables. It would take forever. |

Abusable. No support. Quit whining. I don't recall "No Rick Roll'ing" in the rulebook.
P.S. Don't play me like a 3DS. |

with my suggetion, there will be less moderation needed then there is now. No, we are not adding another column to the databases just so you can get false banned. Do you recall what REALLY happened to 1dev2? How he was framed and banned? How he no longer cared for ROBLOX and didn't set up his masterpeice because too many peices of moderation were put up? This could so be abusable. |

Because people over the age of 13 and who have been playing for a year can't do that? |
