I was wondering if I can mention Discord in my game (without posting any links). For example, “Get help in our Discord”, the only way to get the invite link is in the Roblox Social tab. I would just like to clear this up as Roblox isn’t very clear on this exact scenario.
(I put this in Game Design Support because the words are in a TextLabel)
Because it has an age limit most little kids are most likely not to read the description of the game but they will read the guis in game
Also that would be against the tos for bypassing the filter
The GUI in-game does not include the discord invite link the invite link is located in the “Social Links” tab. (textlabels are not filtered so you can’t bypass the filter)
What we do is we create pictures that direct people to the socials tab underneath and game and group. For example, take a screenshot and circle the Discord icon with an arrow pointing to it.
There’s no text here, and you can say “Click this link to join our communications and get help!” This is entirely within the rules of Roblox and won’t get you moderated as well as achieves the affect!
I think you’re miss-understanding. The Discord invite link is not in the actual game, it’s in the social links tab on the Roblox Website. In-game a text label says “Get help in our Discord” but it does not give the Invite Link, or Code away.
If you want to let people join your group/game’s Discord, then you have to set a social link. Roblox doesn’t want kids getting involved in a site that is for 13+ users.
This will solve your problem discord is a filtered word on roblox and if you put a gui with the word discord you will get some sort of moderation for bypassing the filter.
There is no way to guarantee an <13 user won’t see it, so no. But why in game though? You can already do this in the social links, which is visible to 13+ only.
Rōblox has a thing for wanting to prevent younger players from utilising chat media outside of Rōblox. This includes Discord - that has a minimum age limit of 13.000000. If you include an invite link in-game that youngers will see (they constitute a majority of the playerbase), Rōblox might not like it very much.
However, they probably wouldn’t take action themselves.
