Hi I was just thinking about adding a poster to my game saying that a person could get robux by going to the site tinyurl.com/freerobux81
aka(tinyurl.com/freerobux81)
which was a link created by roblox for scam education purposes and was featured in the roblox education game Beat The Scammers. Beat the Scammers! - Roblox
I am afraid that uploading an asset with this link may be flagged by a roblox staff member as an actual scam. And that is not my intention for posting the link
attached below is a screenshot of the link in the game from a sharkblox video at 8:35
I don’t see why you would need to do that but I wouldn’t risk it. Roblox bans innocent people all the time so I think they would ban somethhkng they thought wad an actual scam. They can be pretty clueless sometimes.
Well, if you get warned, I think you can easily appeal, saying you’re making a game similar to the anti-scam-learning game.
Also, even though Roblox says “no mentioning Discord anywhere on Roblox”, there’s a sign in the game that mentions Discord, so I think it’s okay.
The reason they used Discord in that game was to show you that it can be a scam, so if they mention Discord but it’s for a good cause, then I think you having those links in your game is good, since you’re using it for a good cause.
tinyurl isn’t whitelisted. Roblox can use this link obviously because they’re staff and they set this up with a specific intention: developers do not have that same grant.
Also, the title did not go along with the theme of Development Discussion. I’ve changed the title and recategorised the thread since it’s a relatively specific request for clarification.
If I worked at roblox I probably would moderate this game the instant I saw that sign, I’m not necessarily going to click on that link and check if it’s actually a scam. Besides for reasons other people gave why you can’t do it it looks extremely suspicious and I wouldn’t risk being moderated.
