I want to know if putting a UI in game that advertises a youtuber’s sub count and tell my players, when this youtuber reaches a certain amount of subs this chest will be unlocked for everyone.
I’ve seen this implemented on very popular Fishing simulator game. However I don’t see it anymore as the goals were met.
Is this against any rules?
You asked this already, I don’t know why the original topic was locked but you shouldn’t be posting a duplicate if it was. Nonetheless, look at the replies there if you still have access to it. Edit: reposted to change category.
It was locked for posting on the wrong section, so I decided to repost it here as advised to post in support instead. Just wanted a bit more advice/data from anyone who probably has proper data on it.
If that’s the case then it’s alright, I wasn’t sure what you intended since the OP was the exact same.
As for further advice, I would suggest going through the Community Standards yourself to see if there’s anything that may forbid the idea, but I’ve given it a quick run through and I haven’t found anything that it would be in violation of.
Look at PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync (roblox.com)
You will want to verify that each player’s account settings/locale permit them to see third-party links and references to social media/youtube. Specifically, you want to see what AllowedExternalLinkReferences returns.
This is indeed the case if a link (edit: or other references) to the YouTuber’s channel is provided, although I believe the OP is asking if it is permitted to have a YouTuber’s subscriber count associated with an in-game milestone reward. I believe milestones are allowed as long as the prizes aren’t in Robux or real money.
They want to reference a specific person’s sub count, so they’d have to display their YouTube name and probably the YT logo, which falls under “social media links, handles, or iconography”
Milestones are no problem they just can’t display third-party information to some players.
Ohhh I see, alright yeah we do plan on putting their names so they’ll know who it is.
Will ask our programmer to take a look at it.
Since I am assuming it’s not allowed? I saw some games doing it but I guess they haven’t really been caught or something?
Apologies if this is stupid, but if you saw a game do it, why do you think it’s not allowed? It still didn’t get banned
We all know Roblox’s moderating is stupid. He could do the exact same thing and get deleted the day after.
