Age Checks to Access Chat, Studio Team Create, and Links on Roblox

“MUM! CAN I GET A PICTURE OF YOU SO I CAN CONTINUE DOING DEVELOPMENT ON ROBLOX?”

Literally this is what we gotta do? :rofl:

do you not have an ID or something..?

or a predator is just going to trick the facial recognition so that they get exclusive access to 7 year olds

I don’t think any of this should be removed. If social links are allowed on the game page (in the appropriate social media section), then there’s no reason that it shouldn’t be allowed to appear in-game either. PolicyService verifies if the user is allowed to see said links, the exact same way that it would for the game page’s social media links. This really doesn’t add up for me. Even if people abused this to show external links that aren’t allowed, ban that specific person instead of the entire system.

they are NOT going to accept that :sob:

yeah so if the 7 year olds aren’t age verified they can’t see said predator’s chat please use your brain :sob:

my bad so many people are hating I really can’t tell who’s being ironic or not.

This update is actually crazy, why just why. AND WHY SHOULD IT EFFECT TEAM CREATE???

condos are made in studio
these condos use team create so everybody can play without getting banned.

my favorite game on the platform right now (Cube Combination) is struggling deciding to move off platform, the community consists pretty much entirely of minors so moving to steam is much less safe

The amount of games that will be destroyed/delayed heavily by developers not wanting to verify is insane.

This is so ridiculous. Roblox is genuinely going to slaughter itself with this update.

my question is how are games going to be able to moderate users in a different age group?

Yeah… GOODbye Roblox.
You ignored everyone in the previous post about this, you ignored the TRENCH in your stock prices, and have the audacity to push this rubbish onto parts of the platform that have zero issues that age verification solves or is even relevant to.

Other game creation platforms will thrive on Roblox’s grave. I strongly recommend everyone leaves and goes to those platforms to ensure that they are financially stable for when the userbase not looking at these awful devforum warnings posts jumps ship once the update actually releases.

thats exactly what i was thinking, a pedo could fake their age and chat ONLY with kids with no adult to defend them.

How can we trust a third-party service to deal with this properly? Sure, they say the images are deleted. But how trustworthy is that? Lots of companies just lie. And a lot more have security vulnerabilities. The idea of outsourcing images of kids to a third-party service is really uncomfortable, and borderline unethical in my opinion.

Hmm… maybe because it is.

Absolutely true. Ever since Roblox started using AI for moderation, everything just got out of hand, and it still is.

We all need this, having human moderators will make moderation more accurate, and reliable too. On paper, AI moderation is efficient but it still messes up, like how it randomly took down a bunch of games for no reason.
