Asking a user if they are 13+ before allowing them to put their socials - wdu think?

[railworks2]

There appears to be some confusion and I would like to correct that.

@ElliottLMz

To answer @callmehbob’s question: Roblox is opposed to any reference to offsite social medias outside their own ‘Social Links’ feature, even for 13+ users! It should also be noted that phrases which reference off-site social medias (like ‘twitter’) are blocked for all users.

@callmehbob

side question : anyone know if the profile social links are not visible to players under 13? It sounds like they are allowed to see them, just not post their own.

Firstly, no. Unders 13s cannot see social links. 13+ users can say “Twitter”, “YouTube”, “Twitch”, using the filter. “Discord”, no. See this help page and Section 1, rule 13, bullet point 6 of the Community Rules, this DevForum annoucement/reminder and the images below.

On top of that, they can say the URLs as well

Discordapp.com may be an unintended bypass and has been formally reported

I can prompt an agreement that asks if they are 13+ before allowing them to put anything in the socials field.

This is quite a good idea but would be risky, it could be seen as asking for PII (Personally Identifiable Information) which violates the Community Rules (See section 2, rule 1, bullet point 5 of the community rules). You may find it better to shoutout a phase like “Follow {username} on Social media”, or just simply “Follow {username} on Roblox”. If they’re over 13, they can see their social media there.

Depending on how the filter is for under 13s. you may be able to go a bit more direct and let the filter handle it
