I made a one-time CAPTCHA for scam bots

Which is why we should do something about it and not just be confident that Roblox will release a patch only to find out that it’s been bypassed. Again.

This is not a good way to think of the scam issue. It’s easy for you to say “Meh, Iike anyone actually visits those websites.” but kids are much more easy to manipulate than older people. You don’t know how desperate exploiters are these days to steal Robux and valuables, they’ll do anything.

I think a simpler way to do this, although It would be annoying to most real players, Is to just add a delay to the game before you are able to talk, most scam bots join the game, type a few words In a sentence and then leave. I do think it is a good idea and maybe you could make the button randomly generate a color to prevent a bot for looking for a specific color to click on.

I love this. It is cool I really like it so much. Great job!

Honestly, I love this, I am going to modify it a bit by putting a timer on it and if it is not clicked in that amount of time, I am going to kick them.

That is a good idea @NackerExostylx, can you please make the modified version a public model so I can add that in just about all of my games? So people don’t get scammed.

That was my idea duh…I posted it before

Why not just put in a feature request so that the chat filter looks for scam bot messages? They have the AI powered chat filter that can work much better than pattern matching ever would.

i found a way to bypass this, the scambots can use autoclickers programmed to click on the exact spot of captcha or even script a captcha client…

No,players wuld get annoyed and then you will have less playtime because they got irritated by the captcha, players even get mad when they get captcha for singning into their accounts…imagine this happening in the actual game, wonder how those spam bots manage to past that captcha? They simply are equipped with autoclickers or captcha clients

And some will keep trying because they don’t understand the concept of scams yet.

They’ll just go like, oh maybe it’ll work on other websites. The people in the fake live chat might have gotten all the Robux.

This is going to help a lot. This is really cool!

lol yeah only some others will jusst quit off after like 2 to 5 times

Maybe have it so that players can’t chat at all until they do the Captcha? That would make it really hard for bots to send messages, and all players have to do is click a button once every game visit.

Randomly generating a colour wouldn’t really work, as on some pcs there are options to play games in grayscale mode, (I actually enjoy grayscale mode strangely), Also rarely some colourblind people can’t see colour at all, so wouldn’t that make it hard for them to do that captcha?

This is a great CAPTCHA, but just like what @sjr04 had said, try to put this CAPTCHA at the beginning as soon as a player joins.

I really like this! I think this is a great invention.

I’m not sure if this is a great contribution but, I feel like you should make the word “robux” or variations such as “rebex”, “roux”, or, “rabax” trigger the captcha.

I have several advices:

  • Instead of just detecting when the box will be checked, you can do things more advanced (like recaptcha).

  • Why do we need to do the captcha once? Scammers may hack people’s account and use it for scamming. If that player did the captcha before, this may be a problem.

What if you were to click this captcha to reveal the chat before you typed, just a thought though. I think it’s pretty neat.
