No, this is not a thread suggesting 13+ content be allowed (though that wouldn't be too bad, except for the ODer's...)

My suggestion is that place creators can add a filter to their game, based on what age group would it appeal to most.

For instance, a spongebob obby might be something more appealing to 12 and under users than say, an math based game (not saying 12 and under don't like math!)

This is meant to direct users towards games they WANT to play, and not have to view games that fall far away from their age group. This also prevents users from entering a server full of safe chatters (nothing against safe chatters, but when playing a game, I want to actually talk to people, like many others do).

Place Creators have three settings they could choose from :

1. All
2. 12 and Under
3. 13+

This is of course, entirely optional.

Bump.
It's an idea to consider, a practical one as well.

Ok, no.
1)They shouldn't allow you to not allow people into your game just because you think they are too young or too old to like it.
2)People like what they like, not what you think they will like. (Most of the time)
3)Notice how not all OD'er games are banned? The Online Daters sould make a **gex same** and only allow mature users in so they could do it, or only 12 and under, then make it a different name and add a gallery item so they think it is good for 12 and under, go, and are possible scarred for life br the disgusting stuff in the game.
4)This could probably be scripted, so if you want, do it yourself.

And it's "a math based game," not "an math based game."

No, it's not 13 + "Features", it's demographics filtering.

I'm starting to think some of you have a difficult time reading, because there is a clear difference between the two.

No, it will definitely be abused by OD'ers. I understand, and I don't support. Again, read #3 about how they will use it in a **pex slace**.

Maybe I should have clarified that 13+ demographic places still have to follow the rules.

I did not assume that. They will be able to abuse this, bad idea, WNTS, and of course, everything has to follow the rules. Do you not realize that rules on ROBLOX get broken sometimes? Apparently not.

Everything can be abused, but there are always people who report bad places anyway.
An ODer is never going to make their place 12 and under, so little kids can't be exposed to what they do, they can't even see free chat !

If an ODer was to make a place, they wouldn't put a misleading thumbnail, no, they would make it a club type place so they could attract other ODer's.

>do you not realize that rules on Roblox get broken sometimes

ORLY ?

>wnts

Stop saying that, can't you read you idiot ?

I also think people don't know what I mean by "demographics".
They read it as "OMG CAN U LET US MAKE ODER GAMEZ !!!11!!!"

Good idea. You should also be allowed to pick multiple genres for your game.

Not everyone has to agree with you. And if they gave it an OD'er name, ROBLOX would see and ban them. And yes, I do know what demographics means.

Still, this system could be implemented with ADVERTISING. That would be very useful. Users could also view demographics.

How about they see an ad, and decide if THEY like it or not, not "Oh, ok, apparently he doesn't think I will like it, so I will dislike it."
