Hi everyone,
I’m curious about the maturity ratings on some vibe-based games. My game, Vibe Hugs (link), was rated as [Maturity: Moderate] due to its social hangout aspects. However, I’ve noticed that several other similar games, such as:
have received a [Maturity: Minimal] rating despite having similar content.
Does anyone know why?
hangout games are suppose to be moderate
For some reason, many of those games do not update their game so people under 13 can join and roblox isn’t moderating this
Normally vibe places and hangouts are suppose to be hangout
It’s completely at fault of roblox for not moderating these games making the hangout rating completely useless. It has been reported before and roblox staff decided to ignore this response
Simply put, all of these games have filled out the questionnaire incorrectly, why? So they can get more players.
How do I know this you ask?
If you look at the reason they are minimal you can see that it was not set to have the social hangout thing, thus putting it at minimal
So by filling out the questionnaire incorrectly, they were able to bypass restrictions and attract more players, simply because they were lucky that Roblox hadn’t noticed or tested their game or?
roblox does try out games periodically to spot any divergences (not something ive heard, actually, ive experienced this first hand). however, this system sometimes fails (with both false positives and things sliding under their radar) or devs can come up with the excuse of “no, actually this isn’t a hangout because it has rp elements!!! right???” to avoid this restriction
Its not just luck roblox didnt do anything. Roblox simply put doesnt do anything.
How do I know this? There is no universe where roblox doesnt know of pet sim x. Like be real.
And yet its set to minimal, and roblox does nothing. Theres no way that roblox doesnt know its set to minimal, heck look at basically every big game you can see the same trend, none of them fill it out correctly. And roblox does nothing.
I do think they do this sometimes, but it seems they simply dont do it enough.
That and what the person said above
But even if we select ‘no’ for social hangout, we still receive a message saying the content maturity label was rejected because the content wasn’t accurately reported, and then it gets set to N/A. How do they bypass this?
Honestly I have no idea how you would do that, fingers crossed someone here can help you further!
I believe certain roblox staff even play that game like InceptionTime
(No hate inceptiontime. Just a opinion)
Regarding this situation, roblox just doesn’t do any real effort in enforcing age recommendations yet
Honestly i believe they aren’t even updating their age recommendations and just let it stay before the hangout option was a thing.
Is this a bypass? I got no idea but maybe roblox doesn’t moderate those games because of that reason but they are definitely aware of it
Whenever roblox updated the questionaire, the status would automatically change to “Questionaire not started” (I dont know if this is still a thing) but the label stays and maybe roblox moderators aren’t able moderate the games due to ít being not started in the system. Would be really stupid
