I would suggest that ROBLOX blocks all links, including the allowed links such as twitter.com/whatever or youtube.com/video, because even though Twitter and YouTube prohibit explicit content most of the time, there still could be things that pass by, like links to inappropriate sites or videos. Any child could follow through to inappropriate content by following the twitter/youtube link, and following the next link that leads to inappropriate content.

For those of you who would think that ROBLOX DOES block Twitter and YouTube, the Terms & Conditions page states that YouTube and Twitter are basically the only links allowed.

I would recommend that NO LINK OTHER THAN WHAT ENDS IN ROBLOX.COM SHOULD BE ALLOWED ON THE SITE AND IN-GAME.

If it's an inappropriate link, it's reported and you move on.
Besides, there isn't that many young kids on the forums that would be blinded and scarred by the footage.

I disagree. I think that there should be a section after your post called "links" where you can post links. They will be moderated.

However, it makes sense not to allow them in the body of the text.

SummerCakeAlt,

First of all, I am not talking about just in the forums. I am talking about in the games too. Second of all, reports don't always work immediately, and in-game somebody or a group of people could just repeat the same link over and over again.

RubiksCubix,

I agree with the link section, but I believe we would need a TON of moderators, and enough moderators to be able to shift off at random times of the day so that the links section could be monitored 24/7.

There are rarely any inappropriate links, and when there are, they get banned quickly.
In games, nobody's really going to have enough time to copy it into their URL bar.

I would definitely not waste my time trying to put in a link because some kid tells me to on a game.

Even if reports don't work immediately, they still work and that's what matters.

SummerCakeAlt,

Not exactly. If parents happen to be with children at the time or happen to go exploring what the game is like and if it is appropriate for their children and stumble upon an inappropriate link, ROBLOX loses customers. Losing customers means less money, lowering in popularity and ultimately shutting down some day.

Especially if some major person checks out this game for themselves, such as a reporter or a very important person who likes to think of his/her child/children as very important people.

The website isn't going to go bankrupt over this... you're just exaggerating everything. The links have been available ever since and nothing has happened.
