PolicyService has this function called GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync and i was wondering whether or not i can use it do display links ingame. For Example:
When the player joins, the script runs PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync(player). Then the script checks the result and if they for example are allowed to see references to Youtube i show them the url of a video or a channel, otherwise i don’t show the link & references to youtube in game.
This is allowed for all links except Discord links which can not be shown under any circumstances.
Why would it not be allowed? It doesn’t violate the PolicyService rule and Discord counts as a external link.
Roblox has a rule against Discord links, they are only allowed on social links.
And what stops you from showing it in-game if you only enable it if the user can see external links? it’s literally what PolicyService is designed for, enabling/disabling certain features if a player can’t see/use them or is not allowed to by their country.
Actually as far as I know the only reason why Discord is returned by policyservice is because its the same api the website uses for social links (it was never supposed to be returned). Anyway, what stops you from doing it is the report button and its against the community rules.
Why does this rule exist then? You won’t be moderated if you use PolicyService to disable Discord-related features.
This has come up in the past and is not allowed.
Cool but in the past this rule did not exist. It was added recently and is now allowed.
That’s so dumb… if the player is 13+ older why won’t I add discord stuff for them?
It’s against the rules make a request to Roblox if you think the rules should change.
Where did you find the rule, please link it here.
But they literally changed the rules recently to allow Discord and other links in-game??
If you don’t trust me then go to https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-Roblox-Community-Rules, press Ctrl + F and search for “Policy APIs”
It’s literally a post from November 2017… it’s outdated by now, you shouldn’t trust outdated sources.
Sure there are websites with TOSS that haven’t been updated since they were set up, do you not trust them?
Yeah like @RealExoctic said its outdated and someone from Staff/Editors here on forum even said that while ago.
…are you saying you don’t trust the official roblox community rules on roblox’s official help center, and instead trust a outdated post from 2017?
They would have edited the post if so…
Well found it, there was discussion about it week ago.
