WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Should Roblox limit roleplay games to Ages 13+?

[XanV]

I think they should add a special feature to the account settings where parents can manually block games.

As an ex-Roblox player I can definitely understand where these parents are coming from. Roblox was a fun platform where these types of games didn't exist yet. The scariest game at the time was *Escape Jeff The Killer* or *Escape Area 51* and that was about it. Now kids can play games that can cause a trauma and will make them scared of anything which isn't supposed to happen on a kid-friendly game such as roblox. Age restriction was also available at that time so if you compare the Roblox from then with the Roblox from now you'll clearly see a significant decrease of child protection + more games and toxic people that can injure a child's mental health. Roblox should really step up their game.

One thing I love about kreek is that he doesn't just immediately call out the parent for being a boomer but also tries to understand the parents' point of views as well

[Wizdabest]

I think roleplay games should have a special roleplay tag, and if a setting is changed to block games with the roleplay tag those games can no longer be played. This way if a parent sees inapropriate scinarios coming up on their child's screen, they are simply able to block roleplay games and never worry about it.

i’ve always loved kreekcraft because of his pure honesty. he’s not afraid to make videos criticizing roblox, or developers, but he doesn’t do it in a way that makes you think “wow, this guy really hates roblox/ roblox devs”

[JaybirbXD]

Kreek gets the point.
Roblox is a platform with millions of games, making it almost impossible to moderate every single thing.
Most of the time with the games, it's usually the players who are making it inappropriate. Such as online dating, etc.
The parents seem to not get the point. If they see that their children are experiencing something inappropriate, they shouldn't be calling out to everyone and roblox like that. If they see a particular game "harming" their children in offensive ways, they should just tell their children to stay away from it. Maybe tell them why, but if they don't listen, their child is the one who is not listening, not the whole platform.

Honestly, parents are just trying to help their children out, and may misunderstand some parts. These games also can't do much about this problem, considering it's usually the players.

Roblox also can't rate all the games, if you think about how the platform has millions to billions of games, and many players. The developers also can't do much, except fixing glitches and bugs and moderating the games. The players got to understand what is happening around them, and how they may affect others by doing these inappropriate actions.

If roblox wants to step in to help, they can inform the developers to moderate their games, or add in more settings. Roblox has a moderation team, but most likely not enough to moderate the whole platform. This is probably where their bad moderation comes out. I can agree with that, as there are many inappropriate things happening in roblox games.

Basically, please understand what is going around you, and think before acting in a way that may affect others.

But yeah. Huge respect to Kreek for helping out in the conflict.

As a developer, I was not able to give my game an age rating due to being retired, so my game was left as N/A. Recently, it was automatically given an All Ages rating. Even though my game does meet the All Ages category, i suspect there are other games out there that have not been rated, and was given an automatic All Ages rating.

[sweatsmile]

I think roblox should add a feature to block certain types of games. For example: Roleplay games, shooter games, violent games. Although the ratings are there, this still happens. A developer can set multiple types to say what the game is like. Players can report a game if it doesn't have the right tag so roblox can put it to it's correct category. Then, parents can block games such as these.

Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS! Anyways thx for 70 likes I didn't expect this comment to be popular! Also ty kreek for hearting.

[itsmaxx_fr]

This is not Roblox’s fault. Parents need to check in on their kid’s devices and their recently played. If it has inappropriate content, punish them. Just be a decent parent. That’s all you need to do.

[BlueKorb]

they should just make it mandatory to add an email to your account instead of just giving you like access to commenting on items, and liking games, also giving you a free hat. that way they could make it so that the email gets daily reports of every game your child has joined, along with every single chat message they have sent. Also they should have a thing where when you make your account you choose types of games that you arent allowed to access, such as fps games, rp games, or others

[jamesmason]

I have to say, role-playing games are normally inappropriate, yet some have models which make it hard to make the game inappropriate. But I have to say, it depends. Developers should be looking out for inappropriate actions. I will say I would want players visiting my game, but rating it all ages when there's inappropriate actions involved. I never really noticed this until I watched this video. Thank you for explaining it!

[XdBeamm]

8:45 bro i thought you were gonna say you could do that irl 💀

[zeal]

think about this scenario:



you are a principal that walks into a teacher's classroom. you see students misbehaving but the teacher doesn't notice it. later, you blame the teacher for the students misbehaving and the teacher is fired from their job.

would it make more sense to punish the kids, or was it right to punish the teacher because they weren't fully doing their job?

if you havent already figured it out, the teacher represents roblox moderation, the principal represents a parent, and the students represent bad influences on roblox.

i feel like the kids should be punished because they were misbehaving, but the teacher should also get some punishment for not catching them. but its a very tricky and opinionated situation. and its even more complicated in roblox, where you cant directly punish kids that are misbehaving on roblox because of its non-working report and moderation systems.

what do you think is right? leave a reply, i'll read it :)

[ElixrChloe]

If roblox sets a higher age limit, some role play games would definitely be going down. Roblox should probably make a tag for "Roleplay games" in the age restrictions, and let parents decide if they can turn if off or leave it on.

[FinTheRobloxAvatar]

they blame the wrong person those games not 18+ or anything like that its just the players who turns games into horrible things as a 5 year roblox player i can confirm that roblox has nothing to do with those stuffs it all comes from terrible persons who pretend to be a kid but turns out to be a grown man

[animeisbadngl]

the thing that is wrong is that she lets her 5 year old kid play video games like roblox has got more things to do than moderate literally everything on the platform.
it's also the parents' job to protect their kids

[msfs_idk]

Well who would let a 5 year old play roblox?

[supersoursoysauce]

I can't enter a game without something inappropriate in the chat, or some kind of user interaction. I think roleplay games should be set to 13+. People put Roblox down for all of this inappropriate stuff, when it's really the players and the community, the very people who are complaining. I miss the old Roblox...
