Well, I'll start with one thing. ROBLOX CARES MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN THEY CARE ABOUT YOU. My Roblox account recently got hacked, and the hacker uploaded inappropriate pictures to it (decals) so I got banned and the Customer Service COULDN'T give a damn. Don't waste money on this game because your account may get hacked, Roblox Customer Service will just copy and paste a message saying "oh sorry lol it's all your fault and not our problem lol", and you're literally stuck with nothing. All Roblox wants is the money and doesn't care about their users. Also, there's this dumb currency called Robux, it's way too expensive, and you can only buy it from them. Roblox, as someone else said, is very greedy, and as a company that has over 3 million dollars, they don't need Robux anymore, but now they're charging more than ever for Robux. It's really unfair how people with poorer families can do less than those who have more money to waste on Robux. If you buy Robux and they ban you for no valid reason (kind of like what they did with me), they're basically stealing your money and that can be considered theft. Well, basically what I'm saying is, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH ROBLOX, YOU'LL PROBABLY GET HACKED, THE CUSTOMER CARE WILL BLAME IT ALL ON YOU, AND YOU LOSE EVERYTHING.

Roblox is a kid-friendly, interactive, and socially climatic gaming enviorment. In itself, Roblox is not a game. It is essentially a 'web-genre' of games. You click on a specific game made by a specific company/individual and play to your heart's content. However, Roblox is also very sociable. Like video conferences/apps such as zoom, you meet strangers on the platform that are divided into servers. Each server has different players which you can befriend. In that way it's like meeting someone online, but there is no exacting pressure to become friends with these people.

I, personally, have been playing Roblox for approx. 6 years, befriending and unfriending various people, as well as experiencing surfing through the games multiple times. In my opinion, Roblox is something I would recommend for teenagers/older kids to adults, as this game is filled with kids that can be rather immature. There is a social chatbox, where anyone can practically say anything, and only words that Roblox deems fit to censor are censored.
A kid could stumble upon vulgar language or racist comments. This is because it is not a closely monitored game in terms of watching everything that your kid is doing/saying. Roblox itself is just a 'web-genre' of games that you can browse. As a parent, I would recommend paying closer attention to the type of games and servers your child will be able to access, as well as the friends they could be befriending.

Again, this is a public game. Unfortunately, anyone could be posing as anything.

With that being said, I also believe there are many benefits your child could receive from playing this game. It allows for anonymous social interaction with fun games and customization, which allows expression and freedom of choice.

As someone who grew up on this game, I do recommend it to a certain degree.
Be cautious with online platforms closely associated with online interaction, and as such, Roblox does allow for the blockage of users and reports of their inexcusable/inappropriate behaviour.

With all that considered, I would give a tip of playing it yourself or testing it out first. Maybe take a few baby steps to ensure safe play.

Sources: https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/05/girl-6-invited-sex-room-playing-childrens... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn8X9E3OMnc Firstly, their moderation system is trash. Secondly there is a history of online daters who date on roblox, in which they don't care about. If their so called "Report Abuse" button worked, then there would not be a petition to remove a single individual user on roblox. That user is DJMykal, the creator of Club Tesla on roblox. He has been exposed on youtube to be one of those unholy things. Yet, if you look him up on google, he is still here. Roblox obviously profits from things like this? When they have people who online date on roblox, those online daters will want to buy items inorder to look not so "newbie" or more attractive. This helps roblox profit. As a parent and guardian of two children who plays on Roblox, I highly recommend avoiding this game at all means. They will not handle your situation in time, professionally, and they will just read off their script on customer service. Their virtual items are too expensive and you might be scammed on that game by malicious users. From what I have heard, they also have the mannerism to terminate you in the most unfair way. Watch out parents! This game is anything but safe.

EDIT: Roblox will also side with these pedophiles. When you try to look their infamous online daters up on roblox. For example DJMykal, he will not appear on the search. Only a google search will find him. I have confirmed this with another user.

ROBLOX is used to be kid friendly game, but this is now cancerous, you say something that is innocent and YOU GET BANNED, and when you say like $#*! or $#*! you're not banned, filter system is horrible, every word is tagged. People are going hardcore when ODing, ODing is against rules yeah ROBLOX just wants them BECAUSE THEY GIVE HIM $#*!ING MONEY, ROBLOX IS SO MONEY HUNGRY AND GREEDY AS $#*!. Exploiters are bunch of kids who suck at PVP games so they come in and play unfair to some $#*!. ROBLOX moderation system is just full of bots, they can't even ban a rule breaker, when you send report nothing happens. Games are now pretty boring and no originality on it. ROBLOX does not care about exploiters or other rule breakers, he just sits and grabs a drink. I never recommend this trashy game to a kid. Youtubers that play ROBLOX either OD or clickbait, ROBLOX community is pretty much filled with toxicity and salt, you can test it yourself, I get banned for stupid reason, i even got banned because i said "Y". ROBLOX seriously sucks $#*!, please do not play this $#*!.

Nono!

I am wondering why people even like this game...

Like seriously! You can get banned for trying to upload an Ugandan Knuckles photo!

Hello homies and whatever this review is...
First of all, and not flirt of all! The report system is broken! Just like all other games the report system never works!
Here is an example of how the report system works.

Step 1. Report is sent.

Step 2. Report reaches the moderators...

Step 3. Report is ignored instantly because the moderators are bots and they cant read the report and decide whether to ban the player or not because they ain't got no brain.

Another problem... Everyth- No i'm just going to talk about random things.

Roblox is full of cringy people calling eachother kids when they are kids themselves. You can barely even chat in the game.
When you try to say this in chat:
"Can I have one?"

It pops up as "Can I have ####"

Just like:
"I have two of those ReadyPlayerOne keys"
Pops up as
"I have ### of those ############## keys"
In the chat!

Porn, Hacking, and Deviants

Updated review

I've been a very very long player of Roblox and I've been on the platform since I was in 3rd grade, over a decade ago. I'm not going to mention my username anywhere here but today, I pondered on whether I would ever let my kids play this game now that I'm an adult. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a good time on this platform and I truly did, however, I can't recommend this game to anyone anymore, let alone children. They used to care about the players and community base, I know that as their game grew, moderation needed to be outsourced and made effective at the cost of quality but they straight up just don't care anymore. Ever since they raised the price floor of items sold using tickets before removing it outright, I was pretty upset but as an adult now, I understand that they were trying to monetize the game more under the veil of rewarding creators with more(shirts and pants creators at the time while ignore BC members being able to just copy clothes), enforce users to think of more sound decisions when purchasing, and it was also to uphold the quality and numbers of servers they could operate. Well, fast forward 7 more years, they've got the money now, the staff, the quality servers, and hires, and look at what they've become now. This is a game that's abandoned all of itself; what made Roblox actually Roblox to many of its OG users, and while I understand that the new must come at the cost of the old, the quality doesn't even follow where it should in a lot of important aspects. Just look at their Roblox support team and efforts, still the same copy-and-paste message over and over again. Look at their moderation efforts, if you don't know what rule 34 is, it best not to look it up, especially in tandem with the search term, "Roblox". Those games still exist and ironically, a lot of those fetish games have better quality than the crappy cash grab games that a lot of small to big companies that do joint events and ventures on Roblox (making promo games)make nowadays. It's actually hilarious! I'm very sad at how the game became, a soulless, money-focused, metaverse wannabe MMO.

Let's face it, Roblox support is terrible. If one doesn't know that Roblox support is terrible from the reviews and youtube videos, then they know it from personal experience. Any customer, player, or parent that has dealt with Roblox support knows how scripted and terrible their responses are, however, it wasn't always like this. Back in late 2009, Roblox used to ban players just for simply spamming "lol" or simple phrases in the chat and moderator notes for more serious inqueries were a lot more human and a lot less robotic and soulless. I understand that manually moderating players is quite a hazel to do and tedious, however, this isn't 2009 anymore and Roblox is now a multimilllion dollar company. One would think that a company of such size, popularity, especially amongst the kids, and networth, they would have just as much quality to back it up especially in "core sectors" or departments in their company. NO, they do not. If anyone remembers Roblox's twitch incident where the admins got a little too human, it really goes to show how the, now, ex-staff members really think of Roblox. Unlike the early times of Roblox where they actually listened to their playerbase and had consumer friendly practices, ever since they removed a free currency in their platform, tickets or "tixs," the focus has been shifted to making money. The platform's main target audience is children, so anyone else, that isn't an angry parent threatening to make bad PR, an influencer(like youtuber) or a known developer, then, you don't matter. As someone who has played Roblox since 3rd grade in elementary school, it's sad to see something that had so much potential waste away and lose its identity like this. Nearly every single update they've been putting out lately is targetted for more money or something that nobody asked for(like removing account statuses) and despite the negative feedback, they don't even listen to most of the developers on their forums anymore for input. Furthermore, their marketing and advertising is misleading to newcomers(showing anthro characters when nobody in roblox uses them) and whether purposefully or notit goes to show how disconnected they are to their community. Lastly, I'm also here because they terminated one of my accounts under suspicion that it's compromised and despite providing as much proof as I could, emailing them on all the emails I had linked on it, account details, and etc, of course, I get the scripted response and a vague rejection. Call this review a rant but I hate the people that works in Roblox support and development. This game has lost all my respect, and it's lost its identity, to which, it's clear that they are only focused on making more money now. Stay away from this game, it has no soul and certainly doesn't appreciate the many developers that try to put some soul in their games on their platform because Roblox is basically EA the second.

So I guess I will start by introducing myself I go by the name Cowscape on roblox I joined roblox about 2 months before tickets were removed in February 2016 Cowscape is now my main account as my first account was hacked and until roblox removed them I mostly played as a guest (they are long gone) so what I would like to say is I like roblox I play it quite a lot I wouldn't say I am super in to the game I play for about 1 hour a day maybe 2 so as many players no there is a game called Arsenal and I think it is one of the most popular first-person-shooters on roblox I wanted to try out the game so I played it for about half an hour but I don't like this game I thought I would try it so I did and when I logged off I went out for a bit and discovered my shoulder had some sort of pain in it I found out it is called Repetitive Strain Injury (pain in upper body from doing the same movement over and over again) in my case it was pressing the space bar and jumping too much that caused it the same thing happened back in 2016 when Phantom Forces was the most popular nowadays I don't even see it on the front page (you think I would have learned my lesson of course not!) so I just want to warn you playing shooting games a lot on roblox that require you to jump a lot to survive can potentially do this I don't wanna make a big deal about this but I just want to warn players who are looking at playing arsenal I think it is a good game but just don't play it too much for your own safety lol.
