Ok, so let me tell you all a story.
I was updating my description by changing one character in the entire body of text for a version number, when all of a sudden, BAM, the filter slaughters my description. (it had the word discord in it)
Could we please have the ability to even say “Discord” again? I post changelogs and other things on there that are important to players, and they can socialize with me and the admins almost 24/7 about bugs or just to have a nice chat. Please “fix” this. Thanks.
Two things here:
This thread is where you should report issues with text filtering.
That and there’s no way for ROBLOX to ensure that discord servers are safe for everyone to go to, so there’s not really a way for this to be a thing.
ROBLOX can’t ensure twitter links are safe to go to. They shouldn’t filter it for 13+ users.
They will not allow you to have discord links on ROBLOX because they cannot moderate it.
For the same reason, trello is not allowed.
For the same reason, github is not allowed.
For some reason, however, this same logic doesn’t apply to twitter. Do what everyone else is doing and use a tweet as a means to redirect to discord.
Twitter is allowed because it’s moderated by the Twitter staff. If you see something inappropriate you can report the content. Programs like Discord do not have a dedicated moderation team. The content is moderated by the community itself (server members) which by default is not reliable or trustworthy.
I can provide you various links to content that is inappropriate on ROBLOX yet not-so on twitter. The point being made is the standard of moderation is intrinsically different between the three platforms. It’s kind of obvious that twitter has some form of moderation, its usage requires it. It’s a social tool. Github and Trello are not intended to be moderated for a reason (or rather, have no overarching moderation) – their purpose is for personalized development and personalized project management respectively so that doesn’t need to be moderated by some super-staff. Commenting on their level of moderation makes zero sense.
People will abuse anything, that doesn’t mean we should be restricting the usage of the websites. Instead, it means we should be moderating those that abuse it.
Fun fact: Github does have moderation for comments in pull requests, bugs, etc
