Your point is completely true. The best way to prevent exploiters is to make code patches to do so. But account age limits can yield benefit no matter what also I said that there was benefits and disadvantages.

I am talking about an account age limit you should understand that if you read the entire article. Don’t make a reply if you did not read the article fully.

Sorry, my mistake 
. I don’t understand, yes, I understand now. I thought this script was for minors, it turns out this script is for how old players are in roblox. For this I quite agree because Roblox hackers/exploiters are usually players who create alt accounts. But there are also hackers/exploiters who have been on roblox for a long time. I suggest for that problem by monitoring your game maybe you can monitor your game quite often.
Keep it Up!!

Limiting your audience to people who have been on this platform for longer is a bad way to remove exploiters.
Yes. Exploiters have alt accounts that are probably old.
But so do I (kind of) and a lot of other dedicated players.
This is only a band aid solution (and not a good band aid solution) to your issue. Exploiters can just create a brand new account, and now you still have exploiters in your game and players which cannot play your game.
If you want to get rid of exploiters, consider server sided anti cheats and lots of sanity checks.
I would not reccomend this solution to anyone.

I agree with this but age limits help restrict alt accounts for being used especially when exploiters use alts to not get their main banned. But this is all the developers choice to keep their game safe.

Alternate accounts aren’t created on the spot, they have enough time on them to bypass most account age bans. Removing accounts from your experience by their account age has no benefit except turning away potentially legitimate audiences that are new to the platform and it’s not a good look for the developer nor how welcoming the community is to new players.
Assuming exploiters don’t have old alternate accounts is naïve and alternate accounts are poor justification for warranting an account age banner. It ultimately is your choice that’s right but it shouldn’t be presented as being objectively good because it isn’t. Band aids aren’t proper fixes.

I 100 percent get your point but it does prevent exploiters that do have new alt accounts. Also, this is all developer choice this is a guide after all.
I do get your point. But account age checks can help a lot of developers prevent some hackers because some do make brand new alt accounts just to hack on a game. Also you can adjust your account age limit to allow for pretty new players. In the end it is all choice of the developer it is just a guide teaching developers on how to do it.
Age checks only limit your audience. A proper anticheat is the only way to fight exploiters.

I did make a guide on anti-cheat and how to actually prevent exploiters it is linked here: How To Prevent Exploiters / Cheaters Properly this is just a guide for the developers that want to add a system like this in their game. Also, It doesn’t really hurt to add extra security. Account age systems have prevented exploiters in games before like Dahood. Yes, I know you are going to say Dahood has many hackers and it does the only real way to fully rid exploiters is to have a mod team and a good anti-cheat that is server sided. But an account age system can prevent some hackers that have new alt accounts. In the end, the developer is at choice to add an account age system or not.
It is a pretty handy property that roblox let us check.
This will prevent lots of spammers and hackers from your and my game.

That is true it is one of the things that I’m glad Roblox have added
Account age scripts are horrible. Ruins any chance of you getting traction from new accounts and is sure as hell not some form of an “exploiter prevention method”.
Exploits in a game can be categorized into 2 different types of exploits
Category 1 would be Roblox related exploits as in exploit admin scripts or exploit explorers. These are hard/impossible to patch because of Roblox’s security on the client.
Category 2 would be game vulnerability (experience ig) exploits. These tend to consistent of exploits such as farming scripts (stat farms) and stat exploitation scripts.
If ANY of the exploits fall in to Category 2, it is your job to get it fixed. When you implement those types of vulnerabilities into your game, you are at fault for anything that comes from it. Do not restrict your audience or turn away new players because you can’t secure your game.

Your point kinda stands true. But it is possible to adjust your account age limit inside of your game to bring a middle ground of preventing new exploit accounts and allowing for new players to play your game on the Roblox platform. Adding an account age limit should not be your main exploit protection inside of your game. But an account age limit will protect some of those pesky hackers also just to mention this is a guide on how to add an account age limit in the end it is the choice of the developer and weather it fits your game or not.
