Place botting explanation & ways to combat it

This is a really neat post and I definitely appreciate the new insight on the subject.

Though, as helpful as this is, it doesn’t solve botting dislikes or likes which is one of the BIGGEST security issues Roblox has to date. Dislike/like botting is an epidemic no one but Roblox can fix realistically.

As far as I know you can only shoddily prevent dislike botting by kicking any players that are under a certain age (1 < day old accounts are kicked). Your method you’ve introduced. And a couple of other methods, but these are band-aid fixes onto a gushing wound.

But this obviously doesn’t prevent the frequent botted games getting 1k, 5k, 10k, even 100k. Even reputable games like Adopt Me and others have been botted before.
Usually games that get player-botted have horrible like/dislike ratios but who’s to stop a semi-decent game or even a good game with good ratios from being boosted from a couple thousand bots?

I won’t touch on it too much since it’s a bit off-topic but don’t even get me started on how much the Library received botting issues a few months back.

TLDR This is awesome, thank you :heart:. I just wish the actual problem was cut at the root.

I did have a question though. Where are some sources on this? I would personally love to research more on this for more ways to prevent this until Roblox fixes it.
