Agreed because of alts.
I disagree.
- You can be experienced at scripting without spending a lot of time in Studio
- Some people can spend days in Studio trying to come up and make malicious scripts.

This is an incredible step towards a safer, more fair and more efficient workflow, thanks a ton!
Beside the implementation, I also would like to thank you for acknowledging that this issue exists. It’s something we have missed for years, and it’s good to see those major brand improvements

Will this update warn you if there’s unwanted scripts from models in the marketplace in your game already?

Good point, I was thinking time spent in Studio so the toolbox would show more experienced developers. Unfortunately, experienced doesn’t mean trustworthy sometimes so I’m glad you brought that up.

My response to others who have replied so far
Thats a great idea. It would make things much easier.
I hope it doesn’t but they should give developers the option to sort out of the unverified creators, just like what they did in the Talent Hub.
If you look closely at the OP, it prompts you with a warning when a free model has scripts in it.
Couldn’t agree more.
I completely agree. I feel like they made a bad decision to remove the sort options.

For the prompt informing that there are scripts in the model, could you add an option to automatically open the scripts when the model is inserted? This would help locating the scripts to determine if they are malicious or not.

Just saw this, VERY cool!
It improves security greatly! Also, that reminds me, could you guys add a option to disable this annoying message…

Yeah, sorting was a critical feature. It’s almost needed, now that we don’t have it…

As I always have said when Roblox implements these type of features, do not use a shield icon!!! It gives the false sense of trust (and yes, you can’t trust someone just because they are ID verified) and gives the Roblox company a bad name if a bad actor age verified and did some nasty things, as to the outsider it seems as if someone Roblox endorsed just did some nasty things.
Also, by adding this feature you are lowering the uses of free models of those who haven’t shown their ID to the company? If your mission is to ‘buuild the metaverse’ this doesn’t seem like the right direction to go.
On top of this, I feel like this could be used to find out those who haven’t age verified (and possibly discriminate against them), I personally feel that my age verification status should not be shown publicly since being age verified doesn’t make you any more trustworthy anyway!
Could you also add the script disabling feature to the pop-up that says you imported a free model with a script in it, since to the new developer, they’ll likely never find the script disabling feature.

Completely agree, they should atleast add a disclaimer that says it doesn’t mean the models are completely safe.

Wouldn’t that encourage the small developers to create their own models?
Lol I couldn’t agree more. They should just stick with a regular check mark like Twitter does.

It reduces the chances of users who are not verified from sharing their models, since they know the likely-hood of someone taking their model is basically none.

That is a good point. But then how could we improve the system without discouraging the use of sharing and using free models?

They do more things like scanning model’s code, giving a warning if there is a script involved (which they are now doing) and maybe implementing a real verification system in where you know the models are safe. This verification system does more harm than good since what is stopping me from just verifying my ID, and creating a harmful model.

Should we make different qualifications for verifying yourself as trustworthy instead of Age Verification!
If so, what qualifications?

Apologies if this is a silly question, is it possible to detect and warn when a script contains commonly malicious code?

It could check the script.Source and see if there’s require() functions. Or :Teleport() functions.

This update is awesome, a great addition to Roblox security. I’m glad that smaller developers can now use free models without any risk. I was just a little confused as to why the marketplace filters were removed.

When you use a free model with scripts or a plugin with script, look for the following things in the scripts that are more than likely to be backdoor viruses:
getfenv require() string.reverse,

That sounds perfect, as a scripter, I’d be comfortable knowing what the script contained without reading each line.
