As a reminder to those unfamiliar with Roblox. Roblox moderation is so god awful that you can literally get banned for calling out predators if you use the wrong word (I would guess probably even saying the word predator).
right, i called out a pedo and got one day ban, another one which was a warning. was saying my mom is dead.. and just because 'pedos are terrible' that was another conversation bruh
@@Xx_D4RK_K1N_xXand then, when there is someone blatantly exploiting or saying some of thing most abhorrent things, moderation can just ignore it. I’m not kidding, me and my sister saw 2 exploiters and reported them, and they didn’t do anything
@@ricardozetino6907I can tell you're a troll by the dream face pfp. They do ruben sim did a video in it. They ban a pedophile for a little bit while they were on the news and then unban them when everyone forgot. Ruben Sim did videos on it and showed proof hoe the company defends pedophiles and we make games showed proof as well and showed child gambling and child labor. Roblox should be deleted soon before kids get killed by pedophiles etc. And they already have. Where I live. Roblox is used as a roblox rape kill tool. They lure kids to go to a place and rape and kill the victim. Some go to jail and some don't. 40% of people who commit crimes get away so.
It’s insane how quickly you can find creeps on roblox, I’ve been playing since a child and going back I can now see how easily I could have been a victim
real, i remember one time i joined a game called "roblox club (and then a bunch of emojis)" and the first thing i see is some guy walking up to me and saying "how old are you 😉"
Easy way to spot predators is to look at the username. Predators use the following keywords in their name:BWC,BBC,czm, etc. so yeah look out for said keywords and youll be fine.
Semi-retired player here, and honestly sometimes it’s completely unavoidable. There was at one point in time an exploit on Roblox where just by viewing a message from a scammer, not replying in any way or clicking any link, would give your security cookie to them. No idea how it worked, but I imagine scams will get crazier than that just a few short years from now.
I've seen bad things and good things and met some amazing people but also the worst people ever the moderation has been crappy ever since roblox was made the only thing I want is for it to be the same as it was 10 years ago
as a veteran roblox player (started playing it at 7-8 and I'm now 20) it really isn't surprising that the rabbit hole of roblox related ridiculous and inappropriate shit goes this deep. its always been like this, just with varying levels of filtering and moderation through the years. with roblox recently adding in voice chat, 17+ features and games, and most recently (literally this last week) adding face tracking capabilities so you can use your camera vrchat style, it'll only get worse. It seems like they're really wanting to gain and keep the teen-young adult audience like myself that plays for nostalgia and have been playing since they were kids without having to lose their biggest cash cow: actual kids under 16. Whatever they do do keep these groups separate will never ever work, and their existence in the first place is more risk than I think its worth.
exactly its creepy because they now made a whole server for people with vc and the things that people be saying on there is just nasty and kids some how end up having vc so either way it’s crazy
@@Nesha_diarryRoblox turn into a money cash grabbing game instead of making it a safe friendly community for all kids in the world who supports that game, even myself have been into that website for 7 years half of my life and I gotta say, it was completely different back in the days of it's prime. Sucks to suck that the website goes out like this. The updates gets worse as we speak and they just changed the rating just so adults can be allowed it just so roblox can take THEIR cash since they spend robux massively close to bankruptcy, quite satisfying
I have been playing Roblox since 2015, and I joined in August of 2015. When I joined into a voice chat sever, there was grown men flirting with minors. To be honest, I feel like Roblox made a horrible mistake when they added voice chat. I got falsely banned "for bullying and harrassment" when i wasnt even talking i played music the whole time but im glad got banned ive heard some horrible shit voice chat and i dont wanna go back
bro exactly david like hit his head against a ledge or something thats why he is adding this dumb shit to roblox. David should just be fired from roblox and replaced with somebody better who ACTUALLY has a functioning brain.
As someone who has experienced a predator at the age of 11-12 on roblox, I appreciate how people are bringing the massive predator problem up so others can become more aware. Stay safe out there everyone!
it absolutely breaks my heart to think about how many kids are experiencing the same things i did as a kid on the internet, talking to people with the same bad intentions. thank you for making videos like this and advocating for our most vulnerable population
This really hit hard. As a person who has a younger sister who has experienced this, it hurts. My younger sister was on Roblox and she is 8 and she was playing with someone. A girl. I wanted to play with her because I was bored and i wanted to spend time with her since I would be moving out soon in a few years so I asked her and she said she was busy and was playing with someone so I was like “okay” and I didn’t think much of it but that was when I noticed she was always with that one girl. The one she was playing with. At first I thought maybe she just really likes playing with that girl and I thought she was about her age . But then one day I joined her in a game and I asked my sister how to do something in the game because I don’t play it as much as her so she told me and that girl came up to me and asked my sister “who’s this?” And I said I was her sister and she was like “ew” and I was offended so we had an argument because i was in a bad mood at that time, after that my sister needed to go to the bathroom so she went and it was only me and her in the game so I asked her how old she was and she said she was 16. 16… FRICKING 16. 8 YEARS OLDER THAN MY SISTER SHES HALF THAT GIRLS AGE. Then after she said she mistyped and was meant to say 9. So I was annoyed because I knew she was lying. Right after my sister came out of the bathroom I told her to unfriend that girl and she was confused because I hadn’t told her anything so she was saying “No, she’s my friend!” Then I asked her to give me her phone ( don’t ask why she has a phone at 8 😭 ) so I had it and then I looked at her roblox chat, when I did I saw that “16 year old girl’s” chat with my sister and I saw her asking about her.. she was asking “How old are you?” “Where do you live?” “Wanna be friends?” I was absolutely disgusted. Now, my sister obviously hasn’t had the “online stranger” talk so she didn’t know and she’s really young so I don’t blame her. Luckily she didn’t give our address, she said what country we lived in but didn’t give the address. After this, I exposed that girl. I told my brother too because my sister didn’t want to unfriend her. I have an older brother so I told him because he’s really mature. After I did he told her not to be friends with her and was disgusted too. After all of this she unfriended her. But after I saw her username so I clicked on it. Turns out she’s lesbian.. now I’m not homophobic but an older girl who is a lesbian hanging out with a 8 year old… is quite concerning and apparently she was trying to force her be lesbian. I don’t know if she liked her but it is disturbing.
My sister is also 8 and we caught her having a “girlfriend” and apparently 2 boyfriends on Roblox. She unfriended them before we even found out since they apparently had an argument so we had no idea who they were or how old but she did admit to it and she was banned from playing roblox again. I try to keep an eye on her and she’s not allowed to be on a device unless someone is near her since she often watches stuff she shouldn’t. It’s very scary to think about they people who would try to talk to younger people and influence them in terrible ways. Your sister shouldn’t have a phone at her age, I hope that you and your parents will keep an eye on her because you might think “she’s young, she won’t do anything!” But the internet is not a safe place for kids and they dan be influenced so easily that it’s actually scary. I hope you both stay safe
My cousin is 9 with half of her friend list of people she doesn’t even know and she says it’s so fun with them at least when I join her she leaves them
That’s not homophobic, it’s just the same as revealing a straight possible predator. Ew though, I wish there was more stuff preventing this and I wish the report system actually worked.
Reminds me of the Sims game. Seems harmless enough on paper but is actually a playground of pain for those with a disturbed mind. It always amazes me how humanity can turn a single concept, a pure ideal, and corrupt it entirely.
@@yt_user1772 I did say on paper, yes? Obviously the concept and the people using said concept are gonna be two wildly different entities. E.g. the law vs the lawmakers Religion vs said people in religion Games vs the people making them
@@sbevexlr848 exactly how it sounds like. Someone who tries to sow as much chaos and suffering into that digital world. The digital bits and lives might not be real but it does make you question why he chooses that form of entertainment to appease himself.
QUICK LITTLE NOTE: The reason why the roblox forums were discontinued in the end of 2017 was due to a quackity raid a few weeks before, it basically broke the forums and at one point(if i recall correctly) u could not post in the forums at all due to how big in scale the raid was. Other than that amazing video :)
It's really sad what people do on games. Kids are just trying to have fun, but then get scared by these sick adults. It's happened to me a couple times sadly. Thanks for making everyone aware of these terrible things. Hopefully the world can become a bit better from these videos.
One thing is that I know Even on a personal level, I went to school with him and became his friend. When I heard about him going missing I was shocked. I am just glad he came back safely. Love your videos, keep on spreading good info on these topics!
@@Imakeawesomeeditsforreal Sometimes it's just the most random people trust me.. Like your playing a game normally and some dude asks u to esex on vc and he's like 18 and "just joking" I mean it's not as bad as those cases but it's still bad
Man I love this reporting, I only wish that bigger news outlets could do the exact same kind of research and coverage on Roblox, but the best we can get is moderators whistle blowing to Bloomberg that there isn’t enough diversity in the staff as if that’s what’s most wrong with Roblox as a whole.
Agreed. Roblox the company supports child pedophiles and child labor and child gambling. Ruben Sim talked about roblox spporting and defending child pedophiles and proof of it and he got sued for talking about how roblox does it and the other bad stuff and the roblox video we male games did on roblox talked about that as well. The child labor and child gambling and proof of it and child pedophiles
as a roblox player, honestly its getting worse. hackers are spreading making kids cry, once someone even asked my best friend where she lived.. the moderation is bad and reporting someone barely makes a dent, these children are trying to have fun and yet people ruin the whole experience by either s3xual or uncanny stuff. and roblox does nothing about it. all they care about is just the site themes and other things that don’t matter, and i’ve seen so many inappropriate games on roblox. people lure kids into online dating and doing questionable things. im not saying what but you probably know.
I just gotta say that I really appreciate that you end your videos on a positive note after talking about the danger about social media and video games
Spam bots actually used to spam advertisements in a lot of games, and it was impossible for even me and my specific taste in games to avoid them. Thankfully their appearance practically ceased existence inside of games, now only occassionally appearing in groups and catalog items.
thank you. as a minor who loves to play roblox daily, i have had my fair share of inappropriate experiences. i've played condos, i've seen inappropriate images, and i've been scammed. this video serves as a how-to guide on staying safe when playing. thanks, man. the younger players thank you. love you
@@SpySxlar Roblox recommended me a cobdo and I actually clicked on it not knowing what it was, it was called scent con or something but I immediately left when I loaded in lol
related to the "showing a kid something innapropriate", i used to play an admin game where many people would try to build things and fight with gears (weapons) from commands. It wasn't too abnormal for people to use bypassed decals of, uhm, adult anime, and plaster it across the entire game, games like this were mostly played by people under 10.
As somebody who grew up playing roblox, there’s a lot that people don’t talk about. One being the major presence of nazis and other extremists trying to indoctrinate children. I knew somebody who was like 15 and brought his younger brother into a nazi group with him. Roblox has been battling with nazis since 2010 and still to this day. There was some serious messed up stuff I saw
I’m the same age as Evan, I met Evan in public once, he seems like a cool kid,I live in his city, I was shocked that even happened to him, I’m so glad he’s ok and safe.
Story:i was playing "the chosen one" i was being nice to a kid who was the admin she became extremely attached to me she said "i love you" i knew she reached the limit i told her to be careful on the internet dont believe everyone i blocked her and unfriended her to keep her safe
People would often say that Roblox would've continued to be great if Eric was still alive. And I believe them, really if they were one of which who was on Roblox back when he was still around, even playing in servers with him; because, many companies, games, etc. would begin to hit their downfall early if someone was to quit, be fired, or die.
Ruben Sim was amongst the only UA-camrs who truly cared about the future of Roblox as a platform for young children and adults to coexist without the latter creating trouble for the former. But look what they did, they sued the guy who wanted to do good. I feel Ruben is a real chad for still continuing his mission to make Roblox good again, I hope more people and devs start supporting him if they want to enjoy the good ole roblox.
He's just been SO toxic recently. I used to just not care much about him, but now he makes death threats and sends his community to harrass anyone who disagrees with him on Twitter
@@wiwiv3 Ruben Sim's Tweets start unnecessary drama in the community, and he tells his followers to mass report people. His fans have doxed and SWATed people, and even though he doesn't directly tell them to do that, he starts everything his fans finish. He's never condemned them either.
these are exactly why i quit roblox. There were so many toxic people, and gross people. Its really sad that what started out as an innocent game, ended up being such an un-wholesome community. Sure, there are a few kind people, but roblox just isn't what it used to be EDIT: i didn't "quit" roblox i just took a break from it for like a year or smth. I still play roblox but not as much anymore, there are definetly a lot of inapropriate users on games like white room, one time there was a guy saying "gays should burn!!" and "I love graping kids!" like what the hell.... i still dont play roblox that much tho
Yeah Same!! . expect one thing. I didn't quit roblox I'm just taking a break Its just so annoying That I keep getting Judge of my look or harassed and se*ually harrased, This game is just made for creeps and bullies now. Miss the old roblox community!
As a kid who plays Roblox, I had no idea and I never would have thought that Roblox would have had something like this happen on there, love your channel!
I've been on Roblox since 2006. It's insane how I never managed to run into a single person like that. But I guess preds make up less than a minority of the community. Besides that, the production quality of your videos is always so immersive. I don't know how you do it, but it is phenomenal. I can't wait to see what you cover next!
@@SegaMario Yeah, back when guests were a thing. I first played Roblox when a game about a train crashing into a waterfall was popular. I later signed up in 2010. I still use it to this day. First game I played ever: *Survive a Train Crash into a Waterfall* First game I played after signing up: *Eleven Slides of Destiny*
Me too, I started at 12, but I knew about things like these thanks to my nature, I was 12 but with the mind of a 18 years old, I knew about hacking, stalking, dangerous links and predators from a very young age, Thanks God I was that intelligent I remember a lot of spam bots and knew about them and how dangerous they are
This video has me, a Roblox user, be more aware of my surroundings. Thank you for enlightening us to be more aware on the internet. I'm sure that this information will save many people from being traumatized.
Don't worry, most of this stuff hasn't existed for years. Just NEVER give your location to anybody on the internet, and if anyone acts suspicious, block and report them.
It actually sickens me that mass shooting / terrorism games exist on any site in general, no matter if it's a site for children or adults. Absolutely no exceptions to replay a tragedy for fun or a sick pleasure. People that create those games should be ridiculed , not be forgiven and be isolated from the internet.
After seeing your last video on Roblox, I’m super hyped about this one. You never miss any points and do such an amazing job of spreading messages. Can’t wait to watch this! ❤
The fact that I’ve been groomed online three times all on Roblox, all of these happened when I was younger, I was just playing gacha online trying to make some friends but anytime I tried making friends they quickly became lewd and one of them asked me to “take off my shirt” for a “dare” and I left the game before it happened, same thing happened with the second and third time, sorry for venting it’s just nice to see someone finally discuss how problematic Roblox is in a way I can actually understand:)❤
I started playing at 8, im 16 now, roblox really isnt a kids game anymore, but the fact that kids are the ones promoting and operating these activities on roblox, and even going as far as hunting predators, I think science should start looking into puberty more deeply and the minds of children.
I’d also like to point out a serious problem on the game “pls donate”. The game itself is amazing, and the developer is very charitable, putting hundreds of millions back into the game by donating to other users. I’ve noticed an influx of spam bots, who would claim a stand and start either posting messages in the chat trying to get users do donate to them, or completely spamming the chat with advertisements. Some bots impersonate famous UA-camrs and earning thousands of Robux on it. Some even have a delay to when they post a message to make it seem like they are real people. It’s also quite easy to expose a bot when you try saying “bot” or “scam/scammer”. It’s sad to see a game as incredible as this to be polluted by heartless scammers trying to take advantage of children.
As someone who joined roblox when it was starting to grow in popularity, it used to be a lot more fun without the bots, preds, and other dangers it had. It hurts to see the game I grew up with support these preds and not even do anything about them unless they are pressured by their community. I supported how roblox was adding more age ratings but making it sexual on a kids game is crazy.
The reason that it has ever gotten this bad is because contrary to what you said; they are not using the optimal moderation techniques. They are cutting costs on moderation to save money and turn a bigger profit at the expense of their players' safety. It is frankly inadequate, and will continue to harm many, many children unless the government comes down on Roblox.
The bots section is correct for the time period those clips were made, but as mentioned in the video the captcha update removed all bots and i havent seen a single one in years afterwards so you are making it out to be a bigger problem than it is. Other than that the videos well-made and well-constructed
@@Handlehater564 EXACTLY, AND I CAN’T ESCAPE IT, YESTERDAY I FINISHED MY GAME (Blasphemous) AND SOMEWHERE IN THE TEXT THEY SAID “among us.” AND I LOST MY F-ING MIND!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!
@@Imakeawesomeeditsforrealwhat? I have no issue finding the older demographic on Roblox. Games like jailbreak take some skill (or just basic intelligence) that small kids lack. This means that if you play with the more top of the player base, they will generally be older. Maybe just play mic up
I’ve recently quit and yes I agree the old days were so much better. It was fun when you could find different games and the popular tab actually moved around. Nowadays it's like the same stuff sits on top and is slowly swapped out for another hyper-monetized grindfest of a game. There's little incentive to play outside the select few games you get comfortable with and the search and recommended don't help either. It's almost like its encouraged to squeeze every nickel & dime out of people like we're solely customers and not players. I'm not surprised since the removal of guests and tix was only because there wasn't money to be made there. 🗿 I won't deny there are good games but unless the creator knows a guy or has the money to buy ads they rarely get the recognition they deserve or a chance to even be on the front page and it's not like people wanna get outta their comfort zone to track down games that aren't spoon fed to them. Even despite the red flags I continued to stick around because I enjoyed seeing these different games people created and the ease of access Roblox gave. But somehow my last straw was the decreasing performance and lack of options for my avatar because it was a different shade of brown. Not to mention the mods warning people over little things while ignoring child monsters and blatant copyright infringement. It all boils down to corporate greed and their increasing disregard for the community. They've already shown us that they only see us as numbers and profits. Plus when’s the last time anyones seen staff or large devs being friendly publicly with the community outside of anything that's for good press or a one-sided announcement now one asked for? Like ugh. The concept was amazing and gave so many people the tools to create but of course, the big corporation always turns things into a big stinky doodoo. And yes I am a hater.
The fact is, Roblox is a great platform with really fun games but because of the community it gets so much hate and is called a game for pedophiles and children, when really, it isn’t even hard to avoid them. You can do the obvious, block them, close chat, ignore them, or just play in a private server.
@@skittle38 kind of true, thay do fall for traps I could easily scam players in trading games in 2013-2020 by just saying *i will kill you in real live* and boom dark matter pets mega neon fly ride shadow dragon effects and skins in games but the kids have gotten 17% smarter thay still fall for these traps but not all the times
This is such a sad topic, I grew up playing on Roblox and I’m so glad this has never happened to me mainly because the game was much smaller back then but I’m so scared for this generation and they might go through this and I’m so sorry for the victims
@MikaylaJones-kl6tx True, online daters ruin roblox Brookhaven adopt me meepcity and the bypass cloths kids ruin roblox by doing sus things in game reporting won't work only one man can fix it R u b e n s i m
I remember that one time when I was a kid. I installed Roblox and it said that it was for young audience such as kids. Few years later, Roblox suddenly became a 12+ game
Absolutely sickening. It's like that in almost every online game. People are preying on children. Ruining their lives. The world we live in is truly sickening.
As a Roblox player I have no words for this community. I have some encounters with hackers that tried to get in my laptop. I saw a bot scamming 5 people at the time and witnessed all of it. I fell guilty for what people made us look and what Pedos do all day. I have reported all of these things to Roblox and instead of receiving a email for thank you for letting us know. I get 14 days ban. I reported a child groomer talking to Roblox kids and asking them they're age and I found myself with a 2 day ban. I have given up on this community. Either rich people laugh at us for being poor and some bully people that don't have Robux. I rather be in a Cod MW2 Multiplayer server and getting screamed and bullyed there then playing Roblox. I think some players in the community will agree with me and tell they're story. One of my Roblox friends who I became a good friend told me that and I quote "Hey dude. Roblox isn't what It seems don't let the friendly games fool you. Never trust a game and always check If they are legit." If you read all of that I thank you for reading my comment. Please be carefull. Peace
About that reporting thing, that isn't just illegal, that doesn't even connect with logic to the point that my brain acts like it isn't real. I'm pretty sure if Roblox did that they would be shut down by now too.
@@ericgolightly8450actually they can! They can cover it as a “harassment” or “making the game unsafe” if they at all were “aggressive” with what they are saying.
@@ocin_the_ocin8766 Well I reckon the good quality games (imo they deserve to be on steam) like arcane odyssey, northwind, lore game, fps chess, battle sails, trenches and blood and iron)
The amount of scammers and predators on Roblox are crazy. One or two years ago, my younger sister called a close friend over to hang out and they were playing Roblox, specifically the popular game played by children called Adopt Me. My sister and her guy friend found a user on the game who told them they’d give them a bundle of all the rarest pets in Adopt Me, but they needed an email address first. My sister and her friend gave the stranger my mom’s email address and they started somehow texting/emailing each other on a weird dupe of the email app. My sister and her friend told the user they were 20 years old, when they were still young. Long story short, the user ended up hacking and taking my sister’s account and even stealing money and purchasing random items using my mom’s credit card. Luckily, the issue is now solved. Astagfirullah, I am praying for this generation to get better. The sad part is that I started Roblox because of the brain rot channel, Lankybox. That was a long time ago and I barely play nowadays.
@@devinngpk yeah that's what I'm saying! he's just gonna make a: "REACTING TO CRINGE ROBLOX VIDEOS I AM GONNA SAY THE SAME OVERUSED LOWTIERGOD QUOTE FOR THE 40TH TIME THIS DAY" if you don't wanna react to cringe videos then stop reusing the same garbage over and over man, like I know that you are not doing anything, if you keep looking at videos of people who are stupid or just sus DONT GIVE THEM CLOUT they USE you if you keep making videos out of them lisa literally gets money from this, youtube ain't doing noting roblox ain't doing that
exposing both he predators and roblox itself needs to happen more. gotta force em to actually do something about it cause we know the devs wont budge unless their name and wallet is being badly damaged.
I've seen some weird games and met some gross people on Roblox, I wish my child self would've steered away from those things. Luckily nothing life changing happened to me, just a lot of gross/cringy experiences.
I have reported people who use an image of a UA-camr Mr.Ballen and upload the audio of his podcasts to their own channel using the official Mr.Ballen logos and everything. Stolen content is all over UA-cam. Thank you for uploading this video and raising awareness.
I've played Roblox for a while now and the amount of predators and groomers I have found is terrifying. Even in the most innocent looking games, I have found things that no child should be exposed to. Some examples are: • A note in an Adopt Me board encouraging players to search for XXX content • Players pretending to have sex in Brookheaven, Adopt Me and even in animal simulators, such as Dinosaur World or Warrior Cats Ultimate Edition • Spam and shady links. Once I even found one bot promoting crypto • Condo and fetish games • People trying to groom kids to give them their real age, number and social media
Its so sad how people become like this, as a roleplay roblox user I was turned to the dark side of online dating and other romance games when I was younger and didn't know what they were back than, sense than I hadn't wanted to play games like that EVER AGAIN. and try to be at least more careful when doing rp with others
I am a Roblox player, I do admit there are some messed up games/people such as clubs, bars and “vibe places”. Games such as the dday game however I would not say is a bad thing, if anything it’s a way for military/history enthusiast to gather and play an accurate military rp/Milsim. I feel like Roblox has changed and become more “mature”, political, romantic and violent and in general just unsafe.
I love how people say unsafe but really the whole world is unsafe. Gotcha life is unsafe Minecraft is unsafe. What do you mean by fucking unsafe every kids game is unsafe. Every kids game has to have pornography anywhere and everywhere, simply because children themselves are making the entertainment
I literally went on "club Iris " last night ( often go on there to screenshot inapprpriate behavior) I have at least 20 Screen Shots of player 's s**ing . Also " Club Vertical [17+] " wich is acording to Roblox anything 17+ is suppose click a box making the player verify there age with a State Isused ID " but Vertical didn't have that the game also has roulette table ( gambleing) . But another 17+ game "club Miami " did have the age verifying . My question to Mark is number 1 : why are you allowing 17+ games on a kid's site number 2 : Is money more inportant then the safety of childern ( obviously it is and I hope it comes back to bite him in the A** .
@@jaredjoe133minecraft and Gacha isn’t unsafe because of the game… that’s the fucking issue, it’s unsafe because of outer media. Ur just making up shut because… ur prob a groomer urself.
@@jaredjoe133 I’m just referring to Roblox in the comment but I do agree with you, I’ve encountered some creepy bad and weird stuff both in real life and other video games.
It's filled with toxic people and predators since it is a children game, and don't say "Oh but it says it is for 12 and above only!" No, there a lot of 6 and 8 year olds who play the game. Games aren't going to ask for your ID, to check if you're 12 and above, they are just going to let you download the game and give them money for useless robox.
Retired player of Roblox here. Been playing since 2013, and man, I just can’t believe how Roblox changed in the past decade from something so fun, to something so toxic, sexist, and cyber bullying, and predatory. I don’t think I’ll ever come back to Roblox and look at it the same way again
I hope you’re taking care of yourself when doing these videos, it would cause a lot mental toil. I’m a fan of the vids and the insight are great and actually more aware behind the scenes. Please take care of yourself as well x❤
@@jaredjoe133you and the other dude are just dumb. Ur trying to defend fucking ur own actions probably but u also blame kids and somehow discord mods?.. the issue is that discord is harder to get groomed on as you need an invitation to it.

I wasn’t expecting so many chapters in one video, although everyone should thank you for telling us so that we can be aware. Even though I’m 12, I have a 9 year old cousin who plays Roblox with me, luckily we haven’t had any malicious encounters. But seeing this can help all of us play safer on Roblox by being aware of the dangers, Thank you! 23:29 Idc, that’s still my favorite quote of all time!❤

As a person who plays Roblox, it’s disappointing to hear, but I know it’s true to all the Roblox veterans children, moderators, and everyone stay safe and report and suspicious behavior again it is very disappointing to hear, but I know it’s the truth
Alex Op is truly a model, he accepted no bribes, was sus from the get go, and of course the one trying to bribe him being honest, well that was pretty honorable. I mean, sure it's a cruel and outright criminal person yes, but they literally projected their entire plan. Who does that? But godspeed to Alex Op for being such an upstanding human being. We need more people like that, take no bribes, no money is worth the damage it can cause.
17:16 I highly doubt it. Since he was hired by Roblox to administrate, they would already have his personal information. Attacking as revenge will most definitely end in legal trouble for him.
9:28 the way I see it is that Roblox released this video on their account from tiktok about romantic themes also realizing that tiktok is a video platform for 13+ users and Roblox did not break TOS as they released an update allowing users to show romantic themes AND the fact that David Buzukee said that he will like to take Roblox to another level by allowing users to act romantic in Roblox. IMO its the little children that cause parents to think that Roblox is a terrible game, disgusting seeing there kids talk with strangers share privite info ect. But for them to think its the parents at fault for not looking after your child on a world wide platformer, multiplayer and heaps of strangers everywhere.
for people who thinks this is real: its not. you get banned for uploading an image or any development product but roblox doesnt link the item, instead it just puts the name of the item in the ban message and people think they got banned for saying hi while its something really bad.

As a reminder to those unfamiliar with Roblox.
Roblox moderation is so god awful that you can literally get banned for calling out predators if you use the wrong word (I would guess probably even saying the word predator).
roblox moderation so bad that they can ban you for saying yes
Exactly! Mods in many kid games can easily say “oop that’s harassment” and silence victims or those trying to call them out.
Many people get banned for saying things like yes
right, i called out a pedo and got one day ban, another one which was a warning. was saying my mom is dead.. and just because 'pedos are terrible' that was another conversation bruh
@@Xx_D4RK_K1N_xXand then, when there is someone blatantly exploiting or saying some of thing most abhorrent things, moderation can just ignore it. I’m not kidding, me and my sister saw 2 exploiters and reported them, and they didn’t do anything
It's sad to see how Roblox protects predators, instead of stopping them.
And I can already say this without watching any videos on this topic
I really hope someone steps up and stops their bs sooner or later because their behaviour as a company and as a whole isn't okay.
@@Lennodinthewrongvocaloid yep, they need to hire some of their own creators
@@Lennodinthewrongvocaloid like hazem
Roblox don't protect predators, They just don't anything about them. Which is still terrible by the way.
@@ricardozetino6907I can tell you're a troll by the dream face pfp. They do ruben sim did a video in it. They ban a pedophile for a little bit while they were on the news and then unban them when everyone forgot. Ruben Sim did videos on it and showed proof hoe the company defends pedophiles and we make games showed proof as well and showed child gambling and child labor. Roblox should be deleted soon before kids get killed by pedophiles etc. And they already have. Where I live. Roblox is used as a roblox rape kill tool. They lure kids to go to a place and rape and kill the victim. Some go to jail and some don't. 40% of people who commit crimes get away so.
It’s insane how quickly you can find creeps on roblox, I’ve been playing since a child and going back I can now see how easily I could have been a victim
real, i remember one time i joined a game called "roblox club (and then a bunch of emojis)" and the first thing i see is some guy walking up to me and saying "how old are you 😉"
@@erawebtit's really creepy if this happened with u
Easy way to spot predators is to look at the username. Predators use the following keywords in their name:BWC,BBC,czm, etc. so yeah look out for said keywords and youll be fine.
Roblox streamlined would say, “nah i will use a usatc sloo
For real. I started playing Roblox back in 2009 it’s heartbreaking seeing what’s become of it
I am a retired player and I did have my share of weird encounters but I'm glad I wasn't dumb enough to fall for anything suspicious.
Semi-retired player here, and honestly sometimes it’s completely unavoidable. There was at one point in time an exploit on Roblox where just by viewing a message from a scammer, not replying in any way or clicking any link, would give your security cookie to them. No idea how it worked, but I imagine scams will get crazier than that just a few short years from now.
As a player since 2014, I've never seen anything strange on the platform, but definitley there is terrible moderation.
I've seen bad things and good things and met some amazing people but also the worst people ever the moderation has been crappy ever since roblox was made the only thing I want is for it to be the same as it was 10 years ago

@@NaraSherko no roblox sucks now lol
as a veteran roblox player (started playing it at 7-8 and I'm now 20) it really isn't surprising that the rabbit hole of roblox related ridiculous and inappropriate shit goes this deep. its always been like this, just with varying levels of filtering and moderation through the years. with roblox recently adding in voice chat, 17+ features and games, and most recently (literally this last week) adding face tracking capabilities so you can use your camera vrchat style, it'll only get worse.
It seems like they're really wanting to gain and keep the teen-young adult audience like myself that plays for nostalgia and have been playing since they were kids without having to lose their biggest cash cow: actual kids under 16. Whatever they do do keep these groups separate will never ever work, and their existence in the first place is more risk than I think its worth.
exactly its creepy because they now made a whole server for people with vc and the things that people be saying on there is just nasty and kids some how end up having vc so either way it’s crazy
@@Nesha_diarryRoblox turn into a money cash grabbing game instead of making it a safe friendly community for all kids in the world who supports that game, even myself have been into that website for 7 years half of my life and I gotta say, it was completely different back in the days of it's prime. Sucks to suck that the website goes out like this. The updates gets worse as we speak and they just changed the rating just so adults can be allowed it just so roblox can take THEIR cash since they spend robux massively close to bankruptcy, quite satisfying
I have been playing Roblox since 2015, and I joined in August of 2015. When I joined into a voice chat sever, there was grown men flirting with minors. To be honest, I feel like Roblox made a horrible mistake when they added voice chat. I got falsely banned "for bullying and harrassment" when i wasnt even talking i played music the whole time but im glad got banned ive heard some horrible shit voice chat and i dont wanna go back
My first account is from October 17th 2015, however my current account I made in December 26th 2017.
bro exactly david like hit his head against a ledge or something thats why he is adding this dumb shit to roblox. David should just be fired from roblox and replaced with somebody better who ACTUALLY has a functioning brain.

As a Roblox player myself I can say the moderation is something that can only be changed with a lawsuit, which is just sad.
This really hit hard. As a person who has a younger sister who has experienced this, it hurts.
My younger sister was on Roblox and she is 8 and she was playing with someone. A girl.
I wanted to play with her because I was bored and i wanted to spend time with her since I would be moving out soon in a few years so I asked her and she said she was busy and was playing with someone so I was like “okay” and I didn’t think much of it but that was when I noticed she was always with that one girl. The one she was playing with. At first I thought maybe she just really likes playing with that girl and I thought she was about her age . But then one day I joined her in a game and I asked my sister how to do something in the game because I don’t play it as much as her so she told me and that girl came up to me and asked my sister “who’s this?” And I said I was her sister and she was like “ew” and I was offended so we had an argument because i was in a bad mood at that time, after that my sister needed to go to the bathroom so she went and it was only me and her in the game so I asked her how old she was and she said she was 16. 16… FRICKING 16. 8 YEARS OLDER THAN MY SISTER SHES HALF THAT GIRLS AGE.
Then after she said she mistyped and was meant to say 9. So I was annoyed because I knew she was lying. Right after my sister came out of the bathroom I told her to unfriend that girl and she was confused because I hadn’t told her anything so she was saying “No, she’s my friend!” Then I asked her to give me her phone ( don’t ask why she has a phone at 8 😭 ) so I had it and then I looked at her roblox chat, when I did I saw that “16 year old girl’s” chat with my sister and I saw her asking about her.. she was asking “How old are you?” “Where do you live?” “Wanna be friends?” I was absolutely disgusted. Now, my sister obviously hasn’t had the “online stranger” talk so she didn’t know and she’s really young so I don’t blame her. Luckily she didn’t give our address, she said what country we lived in but didn’t give the address. After this, I exposed that girl. I told my brother too because my sister didn’t want to unfriend her. I have an older brother so I told him because he’s really mature. After I did he told her not to be friends with her and was disgusted too. After all of this she unfriended her. But after I saw her username so I clicked on it. Turns out she’s lesbian.. now I’m not homophobic but an older girl who is a lesbian hanging out with a 8 year old… is quite concerning and apparently she was trying to force her be lesbian. I don’t know if she liked her but it is disturbing.
Damn..a great sister indeed. Glad I knew abt roblox at the age of 12 where i was matured enough to understand.
My sister is also 8 and we caught her having a “girlfriend” and apparently 2 boyfriends on Roblox. She unfriended them before we even found out since they apparently had an argument so we had no idea who they were or how old but she did admit to it and she was banned from playing roblox again. I try to keep an eye on her and she’s not allowed to be on a device unless someone is near her since she often watches stuff she shouldn’t. It’s very scary to think about they people who would try to talk to younger people and influence them in terrible ways. Your sister shouldn’t have a phone at her age, I hope that you and your parents will keep an eye on her because you might think “she’s young, she won’t do anything!” But the internet is not a safe place for kids and they dan be influenced so easily that it’s actually scary. I hope you both stay safe
when I first played roblox at the age of 7 I had no friends because I was a guest and couldn’t talk
My cousin is 9 with half of her friend list of people she doesn’t even know and she says it’s so fun with them at least when I join her she leaves them
That’s not homophobic, it’s just the same as revealing a straight possible predator. Ew though, I wish there was more stuff preventing this and I wish the report system actually worked.

And I believe them, really if they were one of which who was on Roblox back when he was still around, even playing in servers with him; because, many companies, games, etc. would begin to hit their downfall early if someone was to quit, be fired, or die.
Ruben Sim was amongst the only UA-camrs who truly cared about the future of Roblox as a platform for young children and adults to coexist without the latter creating trouble for the former.

I’d also like to point out a serious problem on the game “pls donate”. The game itself is amazing, and the developer is very charitable, putting hundreds of millions back into the game by donating to other users. I’ve noticed an influx of spam bots, who would claim a stand and start either posting messages in the chat trying to get users do donate to them, or completely spamming the chat with advertisements. Some bots impersonate famous UA-camrs and earning thousands of Robux on it. Some even have a delay to when they post a message to make it seem like they are real people. It’s also quite easy to expose a bot when you try saying “bot” or “scam/scammer”. It’s sad to see a game as incredible as this to be polluted by heartless scammers trying to take advantage of children.

It hurts to see the game I grew up with support these preds and not even do anything about them unless they are pressured by their community. I supported how roblox was adding more age ratings but making it sexual on a kids game is crazy.
The reason that it has ever gotten this bad is because contrary to what you said; they are not using the optimal moderation techniques. They are cutting costs on moderation to save money and turn a bigger profit at the expense of their players' safety. It is frankly inadequate, and will continue to harm many, many children unless the government comes down on Roblox.

@airjordanrepsI know right, Roblox is still good, all these people are just biased against roblox but there is alot of bad things about them
Same. I'm 16 and I barely even encounter people with the same age as me anymore. It's so boring for me
@@Imakeawesomeeditsforreal just play the right games
@@Imakeawesomeeditsforrealwhat? I have no issue finding the older demographic on Roblox. Games like jailbreak take some skill (or just basic intelligence) that small kids lack. This means that if you play with the more top of the player base, they will generally be older. Maybe just play mic up
I’ve recently quit and yes I agree the old days were so much better. It was fun when you could find different games and the popular tab actually moved around. Nowadays it's like the same stuff sits on top and is slowly swapped out for another hyper-monetized grindfest of a game. There's little incentive to play outside the select few games you get comfortable with and the search and recommended don't help either. It's almost like its encouraged to squeeze every nickel & dime out of people like we're solely customers and not players. I'm not surprised since the removal of guests and tix was only because there wasn't money to be made there. 🗿
I won't deny there are good games but unless the creator knows a guy or has the money to buy ads they rarely get the recognition they deserve or a chance to even be on the front page and it's not like people wanna get outta their comfort zone to track down games that aren't spoon fed to them.
Even despite the red flags I continued to stick around because I enjoyed seeing these different games people created and the ease of access Roblox gave. But somehow my last straw was the decreasing performance and lack of options for my avatar because it was a different shade of brown. Not to mention the mods warning people over little things while ignoring child monsters and blatant copyright infringement.
It all boils down to corporate greed and their increasing disregard for the community. They've already shown us that they only see us as numbers and profits. Plus when’s the last time anyones seen staff or large devs being friendly publicly with the community outside of anything that's for good press or a one-sided announcement now one asked for? Like ugh. The concept was amazing and gave so many people the tools to create but of course, the big corporation always turns things into a big stinky doodoo.
And yes I am a hater.
The fact is, Roblox is a great platform with really fun games but because of the community it gets so much hate and is called a game for pedophiles and children, when really, it isn’t even hard to avoid them. You can do the obvious, block them, close chat, ignore them, or just play in a private server.
unfortunately children aren't exactly humanity's most intelligent demographic so they do genuinely believe the crap they're fed...
@@skittle38 kind of true, thay do fall for traps I could easily scam players in trading games in 2013-2020 by just saying *i will kill you in real live* and boom dark matter pets mega neon fly ride shadow dragon effects and skins in games but the kids have gotten 17% smarter thay still fall for these traps but not all the times
This is such a sad topic, I grew up playing on Roblox and I’m so glad this has never happened to me mainly because the game was much smaller back then but I’m so scared for this generation and they might go through this and I’m so sorry for the victims

I remember that one time when I was a kid. I installed Roblox and it said that it was for young audience such as kids. Few years later, Roblox suddenly became a 12+ game
Guess what, now they're putting 17+ games
Fr, in 2019 it says 7+ now it became 12+
@@Kurdis-yb3jq oh my god
Roblox isn't kids game anymore, it's for teens . Roblox is 12+
@@Kurdis-yb3jqwell those who are 17 are only allowed in those games . Soo u guess it is safe like that .
Absolutely sickening. It's like that in almost every online game. People are preying on children. Ruining their lives. The world we live in is truly sickening.
As a Roblox player I have no words for this community. I have some encounters with hackers that tried to get in my laptop. I saw a bot scamming 5 people at the time and witnessed all of it. I fell guilty for what people made us look and what Pedos do all day. I have reported all of these things to Roblox and instead of receiving a email for thank you for letting us know. I get 14 days ban. I reported a child groomer talking to Roblox kids and asking them they're age and I found myself with a 2 day ban. I have given up on this community. Either rich people laugh at us for being poor and some bully people that don't have Robux. I rather be in a Cod MW2 Multiplayer server and getting screamed and bullyed there then playing Roblox. I think some players in the community will agree with me and tell they're story. One of my Roblox friends who I became a good friend told me that and I quote "Hey dude. Roblox isn't what It seems don't let the friendly games fool you. Never trust a game and always check If they are legit."
If you read all of that I thank you for reading my comment. Please be carefull. Peace
About that reporting thing, that isn't just illegal, that doesn't even connect with logic to the point that my brain acts like it isn't real.
I'm pretty sure if Roblox did that they would be shut down by now too.
@@ericgolightly8450actually they can! They can cover it as a “harassment” or “making the game unsafe” if they at all were “aggressive” with what they are saying.
Bro what games you be playing on roblox
@@ocin_the_ocin8766 Well I reckon the good quality games (imo they deserve to be on steam) like arcane odyssey, northwind, lore game, fps chess, battle sails, trenches and blood and iron)
@@thedictationofallah I doubt he was playing any games like that, and are probably playing some really toxic games.
The amount of scammers and predators on Roblox are crazy. One or two years ago, my younger sister called a close friend over to hang out and they were playing Roblox, specifically the popular game played by children called Adopt Me. My sister and her guy friend found a user on the game who told them they’d give them a bundle of all the rarest pets in Adopt Me, but they needed an email address first. My sister and her friend gave the stranger my mom’s email address and they started somehow texting/emailing each other on a weird dupe of the email app. My sister and her friend told the user they were 20 years old, when they were still young. Long story short, the user ended up hacking and taking my sister’s account and even stealing money and purchasing random items using my mom’s credit card. Luckily, the issue is now solved. Astagfirullah, I am praying for this generation to get better. The sad part is that I started Roblox because of the brain rot channel, Lankybox. That was a long time ago and I barely play nowadays.
Just a little detail, on 11:11 Koofy actually made a video making fun of the online dating, but still a nice video
tbh it just increases people doing it out of spite, with exposure to bad people spreads awareness and spreads more bad people
I think instead of koofy making the community more nice , he just spread more bad people .
@@devinngpk yeah that's what I'm saying! he's just gonna make a: "REACTING TO CRINGE ROBLOX VIDEOS I AM GONNA SAY THE SAME OVERUSED LOWTIERGOD QUOTE FOR THE 40TH TIME THIS DAY" if you don't wanna react to cringe videos then stop reusing the same garbage over and over man, like I know that you are not doing anything, if you keep looking at videos of people who are stupid or just sus DONT GIVE THEM CLOUT they USE you if you keep making videos out of them lisa literally gets money from this, youtube ain't doing noting roblox ain't doing that
@@CEORabbid people will think what they did is right because koofy also did the same thing
@@devinngpk yeah people don't tend to look in hindsight because, why would you wanna solve something if someone will do it for you
exposing both he predators and roblox itself needs to happen more. gotta force em to actually do something about it cause we know the devs wont budge unless their name and wallet is being badly damaged.
I've seen some weird games and met some gross people on Roblox, I wish my child self would've steered away from those things. Luckily nothing life changing happened to me, just a lot of gross/cringy experiences.
I wish I did but now I’m stuck with memories
i am so lucky to have shortterm memory loss because i have a memory which is very clouded about me erping
I guess I'm lucky I learnt about the dark side on UA-cam.
@@Oul362hey heads up just because you think you know often means you won’t look. So you prob don’t know anything.
@@kakajsjsjssjjsjsjsjsjjsjaj3900 I just stuck to my usuals and never really cared to try too much more. That preference still sticks with me.
I have reported people who use an image of a UA-camr Mr.Ballen and upload the audio of his podcasts to their own channel using the official Mr.Ballen logos and everything.
Stolen content is all over UA-cam. Thank you for uploading this video and raising awareness.
Just found this channel, the content is literally top tier, I'm excited to binge it all.
I've played Roblox for a while now and the amount of predators and groomers I have found is terrifying.
Even in the most innocent looking games, I have found things that no child should be exposed to. Some examples are:
• A note in an Adopt Me board encouraging players to search for XXX content
• Players pretending to have sex in Brookheaven, Adopt Me and even in animal simulators, such as Dinosaur World or Warrior Cats Ultimate Edition
• Spam and shady links. Once I even found one bot promoting crypto
• Condo and fetish games
• People trying to groom kids to give them their real age, number and social media
Been here since 30k subs, It's inspiring and genuinely so good to see you grow THIS much THIS fast. There should be more creators like you.
Its so sad how people become like this, as a roleplay roblox user I was turned to the dark side of online dating and other romance games when I was younger and didn't know what they were back than, sense than I hadn't wanted to play games like that EVER AGAIN. and try to be at least more careful when doing rp with others
Fr I didn't know what the,uhhm,ABC to adopt me meant(I'm glad I stopped playing Brookhaven now)
I am a Roblox player, I do admit there are some messed up games/people such as clubs, bars and “vibe places”. Games such as the dday game however I would not say is a bad thing, if anything it’s a way for military/history enthusiast to gather and play an accurate military rp/Milsim. I feel like Roblox has changed and become more “mature”, political, romantic and violent and in general just unsafe.
I love how people say unsafe but really the whole world is unsafe. Gotcha life is unsafe Minecraft is unsafe. What do you mean by fucking unsafe every kids game is unsafe. Every kids game has to have pornography anywhere and everywhere, simply because children themselves are making the entertainment
I literally went on "club Iris " last night ( often go on there to screenshot inapprpriate behavior) I have at least 20 Screen Shots of player 's s**ing . Also " Club Vertical [17+] " wich is acording to Roblox anything 17+ is suppose click a box making the player verify there age with a State Isused ID " but Vertical didn't have that the game also has roulette table ( gambleing) . But another 17+ game "club Miami " did have the age verifying . My question to Mark is
number 1 : why are you allowing 17+ games on a kid's site
number 2 : Is money more inportant then the safety of childern ( obviously it is and I hope it comes back to bite him in the A** .
@@jaredjoe133minecraft and Gacha isn’t unsafe because of the game… that’s the fucking issue, it’s unsafe because of outer media. Ur just making up shut because… ur prob a groomer urself.

@@jaredjoe133 I’m just referring to Roblox in the comment but I do agree with you, I’ve encountered some creepy bad and weird stuff both in real life and other video games.

You explain things so well and all of you videos are put together very nicely.
I barely even play roblox but am so interested
Edit: Thanks for the likes :D
It's filled with toxic people and predators since it is a children game, and don't say "Oh but it says it is for 12 and above only!" No, there a lot of 6 and 8 year olds who play the game. Games aren't going to ask for your ID, to check if you're 12 and above, they are just going to let you download the game and give them money for useless robox.

Retired player of Roblox here. Been playing since 2013, and man, I just can’t believe how Roblox changed in the past decade from something so fun, to something so toxic, sexist, and cyber bullying, and predatory. I don’t think I’ll ever come back to Roblox and look at it the same way again
I hope you’re taking care of yourself when doing these videos, it would cause a lot mental toil. I’m a fan of the vids and the insight are great and actually more aware behind the scenes. Please take care of yourself as well x❤
its kinda sad and depressing how any platfroms that have a young audience or children always have preds or degenerates lurking to target them
@@Realuser0000 finally I finally found someone who has common sense
@Realuser0000 i mean they do, but when most of users of a platforms are children, they tend to usually have more preds lurking
@@jaredjoe133you and the other dude are just dumb. Ur trying to defend fucking ur own actions probably but u also blame kids and somehow discord mods?.. the issue is that discord is harder to get groomed on as you need an invitation to it.

You (and your team?) are so talented. Brilliant vids. Editing is just so smooth and nice to watch.
I appreciate u for doing all the research for us and warning us about the dark truth behind things that seem harmless. Huge thanks to u! Pat ur self on the back lad.
I've seen a lot of gore in some roblox games destined for kids, these were people posting pictures of decapitated body and skinned people.
I wasn’t expecting so many chapters in one video, although everyone should thank you for telling us so that we can be aware. Even though I’m 12, I have a 9 year old cousin who plays Roblox with me, luckily we haven’t had any malicious encounters. But seeing this can help all of us play safer on Roblox by being aware of the dangers, Thank you!
23:29 Idc, that’s still my favorite quote of all time!❤

As a person who plays Roblox, it’s disappointing to hear, but I know it’s true to all the Roblox veterans children, moderators, and everyone stay safe and report and suspicious behavior again it is very disappointing to hear, but I know it’s the truth
Alex Op is truly a model, he accepted no bribes, was sus from the get go, and of course the one trying to bribe him being honest, well that was pretty honorable. I mean, sure it's a cruel and outright criminal person yes, but they literally projected their entire plan. Who does that? But godspeed to Alex Op for being such an upstanding human being. We need more people like that, take no bribes, no money is worth the damage it can cause.
17:16 I highly doubt it. Since he was hired by Roblox to administrate, they would already have his personal information. Attacking as revenge will most definitely end in legal trouble for him.
9:28 the way I see it is that Roblox released this video on their account from tiktok about romantic themes also realizing that tiktok is a video platform for 13+ users and Roblox did not break TOS as they released an update allowing users to show romantic themes AND the fact that David Buzukee said that he will like to take Roblox to another level by allowing users to act romantic in Roblox. IMO its the little children that cause parents to think that Roblox is a terrible game, disgusting seeing there kids talk with strangers share privite info ect. But for them to think its the parents at fault for not looking after your child on a world wide platformer, multiplayer and heaps of strangers everywhere.

I wish you would’ve talked about the April 1st 2012 hack. That one is bigger, we see that stuff all the time.
your content is insane, thank you for your work!! youve definitely raised awareness about internet safety, for me and surely others too :)
You forgot ONE thing...
False Bans (Banned for saying "Yes," or "Hi.")
Roblox is a lost cause
a lot of those bans are actually edited and cropped because sometimes roblox moderation will put in not necessarily bad things for context
no its not@@jakehildebrand1824
for people who thinks this is real: its not. you get banned for uploading an image or any development product but roblox doesnt link the item, instead it just puts the name of the item in the ban message and people think they got banned for saying hi while its something really bad.
Why would somebody name a tshirt or shirt "hi" ☠@@SpySxlar

Honestly i'm feeling sickening of how these tragic are managed to be created in Roblox with some of the players doesn't know the context of the game decided to play.
