I’m a bit confused as to the message here. You say that this complies with everything, yet you link a thread where the answer was a solid “No you cannot display a discord even if the user is over 13 and complies with policy service.” So based on the attached thread, is this a violation?
Also, what do you mean you “will work with other Discord officials to alert them of inappropriate usernames”? Discord’s username policy is very lenient and they have a lesser focus on inappropriate usernames, so why would they respond to your reports?
First of all, how reliable do you see this trick being? The Roblox filter can be updated at any time and this could end up breaking this fragile system. Also, what is the point of asking if the text is tagged if you just check it anyway?
TL;DR: Is this really practical/allowed? While I support this type of feature for perhaps a feature request for natively displayed Discord tags, I’m a bit worried that this specific system doesn’t actually stand to the rules.
I understand your concern and when the Roblox filter updates this also just looks at the text that is tagged. If the filter system crashes or breaks completely nothing work work as it will wait for the text to be replied filtered. This is not a violation as many other popular games have discord in it. Work with Discord officials is actually reporting it to them so your right it would be useless but sometimes it’s not. I had a account get deleted 3 months later. If the discord tag has a bad word in it, it would not allow the user to continue until the word is taken out. This system stands to the rules and I will check threw everything once again to see if I am complying with the rules and TOS
This is not a really valid argument. I’ve checked out more threads and everything relating to Discord seems to be blanket banned (aside from the game links of course) - so I still am curious as to how this complies.
This is a thread I found that basically confirms a lot of my concerns about your system.
Yes I see but things have changed since that post and more games are going to this method. Look at Bloxlink and RoVer. They do the same thing. They mention discord and verify games
and I don’t think checking the users age threw the filter system is invasive. Tell that to the other people who see tags every day from people under 13
No matter what, I’m 99% sure Roblox will take it down as they don’t like Discord in games. If they did keep it up maybe you could make a UI that says what does the text say as anyone could lie and click “No it’s not tagged”.
I’m sorry to be frank but you are making some very bad takes on this thread.
The rules have not changed since the post I made regarding Discord in games, this is still the active policy. Discord isn’t allowed in games, period. Just because other games are doing it, doesn’t mean you’re allowed to either. That argument falls flat on its face. Stop using the tu quoque fallacy to justify your points please. Others doing something doesn’t mean it’s allowed.
The RoVer game check does not mention Discord at all. It has a prompt of “is this you?” and your Discord identifier (username + discriminator) - while I can’t speak on if this is a direct or indirect reference to Discord (last I checked it is), there is no other mentions of Discord there.
Checking age through the filter is invasive. The filter is only intended for adjusting what text users are allowed to see based on their age and privacy settings, it isn’t for you to check a user’s age. Roblox doesn’t provide this option to developers intentionally and you shouldn’t be skirting your way around either. It’s not reliable either. Filtering out text based on privacy isn’t the same as misusing the filter to check for information you don’t have access to - again, your argument falls flat on its face.
Not really sure why you need to create your own verifying service when one already exists by a known, reputable developer. Additionally, your responses to criticism and feedback on this thread are really fall-throughs for trust which is what something like this requires.
You’ve also misinterpreted your source that supposedly allows your use case: it doesn’t. PolicyService or not, you can’t show Discord content directly or indirectly in games, at all.
Ok but Im still doing this. I am making sure that I do not mention discord at all and I will change the way of how this works. The check age with filter will be remove and will be replaced by something else. Thank you for listening and I hope this will keep on growing
Correct and I agree with that but this system is like a leaderboard system. Players are agreeing to let other people see their discord tag or certain people to see there tag. It would be easier to contact someone on discord without asking for there tag
From my standpoint, I’d automatically assume that since discord requires direct sharing of a link based from social media and thus would be prohibited by Roblox, you should take in mind the same consequences that would be if, for example, one created a plugin for the same purpose though for Youtube, Facebook, Twitter or some other platform. It’s all the same and you should treat any plan going forward by remembering - no direct sharing of external platform profile links.
Restarting the service. Feel free to backlash again. New changes will be updated tomorrow morning. Old system revamped and age checking is revamped(Doesn’t really matter)
P.s Don’t you dare comment on here saying not to bump this topic. I can do it if I want
Uhhhm… Cool idea…
