Most of these bots are ran on a VM(Virtual Machine) and i’m pretty positive that they are able to do some form of fingerprinting to actually figure out if the player is real or not especially considering roblox has access to system information. Roblox should also utilize the fact that they have access to our IPs because they can use that to monitor the amount of accounts that are active on an IP. Some issues will come up because of rotating IPs and VPNs however roblox has a access to all the sessions that are active which should further help with detection.
However we as developers also have to utilize the tools that they have given us like the Ban API to some up with our own server sided solutions. Its not going to be a perfect solution because there will always be a work around that someone finds.
Roblox always fixes these problems and is obviously going to fix something as severe as this, obviously it’s an administrator commenting for Roblox, as Roblox isn’t a real entity, it’s accessed by all the employees on the platform.
You don’t always have to be a downer about an issue like this, having updates you want to happen that don’t happen doesn’t equal Roblox doesn’t fix severe problems, Roblox is absolutely known for fixing problems for the community, else we wouldn’t have our own #bug-reports channel to report bugs that get fixed in due time.
You are being extremely ungrateful for the amount of transparency Roblox is giving about issues like this, they’ve always done so much for the platform in the past few years making up for the lack of transparency and paused updates they had during the 2018-era.
If you know nothing about Roblox they’re losing money due to the bot crisis, it isn’t helping them due to the bots causing actual economy loss, tanking engagement and playtime and losing money due to real loss.
This post will probably be removed but you deserve to be ridiculed for this slop you produced.
Roblox doesn’t always fix these problems. That’s why the original post exists in the first place. This is Roblox acknowledging a problem they haven’t fixed yet, with tentative plans on how they think they can fix them.
This has been an issue that has existed for years - apparently because of Roblox’s inability to reconcile harsh account action for cheating vs. a “growth at all costs” model.
Saying someone should be ridiculed because they criticized a company who has blood on their hands is absolutely mind boggling. Remember when there was filtering disabled exploits that existed in the past where little kids could see disturbing 18+ content everywhere? There are kids out there who have witnessed terrorism because of Roblox’s inability to remove the inappropriate content before it reached their eyes. You wouldn’t like it if people ridiculed you over a comment you made on the dev forum… so don’t do it to other people.
Well im not sure, the way roblox detects reverse engineering software (ex. ProcessMonitor) is that it detects the driver it loads, i doubt cheats load drivers and well if they check for an application running well then the cheat makers can spoof it.
One thing people fail to realise is how do you effectively approach these issues without causing issues for others in the process. As people will complain if the fix does not work, yet two tieredly will complain if that fix then breaks something else or makes things work differently as a result.
As on a programming or scripting stand point really outside of letting Hyperion really lock down more on detecting rather than running completely anti-tampering software BUT allows for complete compatibility will all devices should be step one. As either you know it or not but all roblox currently does is have detections run and list in a log somewhere but MAINLY just a some of the many possible anti-tampering software that there is for them to do.
As for the whole AI thing, I’d say since all it is doing is machine learning-like predictions, it isn’t death but roblox should open up a position in Trust and Safety for a large number of users to help assist with Moderation, It an ever-growing platform where systems such as Hypixel’s Atlas aren’t actually that bad an idea if left to a closed off group of trusted individuals with oversight from Roblox. At the very least AI always needs oversight to ensure it does not make too many critical mistakes.
In all, Roblox is at least doing something but they can do more, it’s just a matter of what they are willing to sacrifice, and well I am sure you can guess which they will kill first before they let something else die.
It’s insane that every hive-minded user’s first instinct is to beat on Roblox for mistakes that wouldn’t happen if parents cared about their children, Roblox is a clean company and has done nothing but the best for the children that constantly cause their platform insane problems that shouldn’t be their problem in the first place.
Every single game anywhere that allows multiplayer and creation has problems with sexual content, it’s everywhere and Roblox does it’s best to solve these problems, and in these recent years it hasn’t been a problem, you’re just making things up to defame Roblox for absolutely no reason like were still in a period where this content is easily accessible,
I’m aware absolutely nobody cares about this term but, just because a majority of people believe something doesn’t mean it’s right, and actually, this post exists to address users that the problem is known, and so they stop gaining backlash from their own manipulative content creators that spread a bad word about Roblox.
I’m aware this issue has existed for years but it wasn’t as bad as it has become in the past month, which you must agree with needs to be dealt with, they most likely already had these plans ready to be rolled out regardless, but a band-aid for a seeping wound needs to be put out before it gets way too worse to handle.
Combining these and over 20,000 bots that harbor in several games at once that run exploits simultaneously to run tasks such as teleport to coins, etc.
Your entire post just disregards the entire point of what I just said, I quite literally mentioned you can report bugs yourself, if you have a problem with something not being publicly recognized make a report and inform them then, it isn’t rocket science.
Every issue will be fixed, “soon” like I said, but I wouldn’t consider posting a “bug” in the bug reporting section “making it public” half of these things that Roblox hasn’t even publicly acknowledged aren’t bugs. I can assure you there is at least one report in the bug reporting section that went unheard, but right when a YouTuber does a video on it, Roblox finally responds.
Great, But what ABOUT THE PROBLEM PEOPLE ACTAULLY CARE ABOUT?! This algorithm has lost its mind. Its now a trend monoply 40 gamepass prompts on screen throw out of games. Are you guys going to add more fexablity to the algorithm ever?! Or is the goal of the algorithm to remain as: DOPAMINE 40 GAMEPASS PROMPTS COPY TRENDS OR FAIL
Oh I have the answer. You ROBLOX staff will do nothing.
False Ban Simulator 2.0. If they can’t get you with their automated chat and voice moderation, don’t worry… they’ll get you just for joining a game and playing in total silence. Talk or not, get banned anyway. Roblox logic
