Roblox is changing the eligibility to upload games on the platform.
To publish for all ages, you now need:
- Roblox Plus;
- ID Verification & Age Check;
- 2-Step Verification enabled;
- and have your account in "good standing".
Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts.
To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need:
- An account in "good standing";
- An age check; and
- An account that is at least 2 days old.
Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use.
Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.
A vintage theater light (I know I'm missing some of its details, but this model is already 2.4K Tris, and I want to keep it as optimized as possible while having it still look somewhat good)
Was told Roblox's Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman (RbxRocketMan) has some interesting Badges in his inventory.
These show he has visited the following experiences:
• Pilchero Outfits (open) - Closed off condo game in Roblox's The Hatch event
• Dollhouse RP (placed under review today) - Full of info sharing, age play, dating, etc.
• Teddy's largest condo (banned) - 76M visit dating game. He has a Halloween 2024 badge that was only available for a limited time.
• Your Sus Roommate! (banned) - Suggestive AI girlfriend game with a "sus ending"
• Ro-meet (closed by devs) - Omegle/Tinder-esque game that often saw dating and predatory behavior occur.
So this shows that roblox DOES have the ability to have good moderation if they take down games this fast but they choose to not do it.
So roblox has just been turning a blind eye for bad stuff on their platform this whole time.
Roblox has TRIPLED down in their latest newsroom post, outrageously comparing me to ACTUAL PREDATORS because my decoys tell adults that they're children.
We use the same tactics that the FBI, ICAC, and local police departments use in their own operations to catch predators.
