All advertisements have two words underneath them: A report button for inappropriate ads and some text telling you that the image is an advertisement. This can be found to the bottom left.
Please make the text of a lighter shade, such as the one used in “Report.”
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would be helpful in that I’d have the ability to make out the word Advertisement.
I’m not sure if this should be a bug or a feature request, but since this feels more like a mistake or an unintentional situation I’ll categorize this under bugs for the time being.
There are very abusive advertisements popping up recently which abuse this feature to it’s fullest. It is still hard to tell at first glance if I’m looking at a polished front page game or one that was just sponsored. Kids can especially be easily decepted.
Using this method, games can even trick users into also thinking their game is much more popular and positively rated than in reality, as they can add whatever statistics they like!
This is honestly much more important than just readability, please look into this!
Oh wow. Yeah, it’s hard to see the word ‘advertisement’. Roblox will need to fix this, or at least moderate the advertisements that are abusing the dark mode.
They find that their favorite Youtuber has friended them, somehow. They tell their parents/friends that they got friended by a big youtuber. They click on the “profile” to confirm this finding.
It leads them to the game, of which they may assume that this Youtuber is actually sponsoring this game. Unlike the “Accept this friend request” ads, these look scarily realistic.
They go to the friends list to find out that they actually are not the Youtuber’s friend, and either feel misled or betrayed.
This is an extremely deceptive ad, and it has such a simple fix.
Yea I agree. Roblox should add a border around all ads so it is clear that it is an ad and not what you have shown in the ad in the image above. Something like this:
Last I checked, this kind of ad is actually against the rules, unless Roblox allows false celebrity endorsements and fake buttons that aim to mislead now.
The fact that the “ADVERTISEMENT” text is black on very dark grey isn’t helping this at all either.
Yeah. I’ve been seeing plenty of these types of ads now that I switched to dark mode. I think Roblox should up their moderation and take closer looks at these ads. I know it sounds childish of me, but I report every single one of them, not that it’ll make a change or anything.
So, what about changing the color to something that isn’t black, like red? Knowing whether a user is in dark or light mode shouldn’t matter in this case.
