Hey guys, I wanted to build a mafia game, but I saw this excerpt:

“Dangerous, unethical and illegal activities. Not only do we not allow these activities, we do not allow anyone discussing them or encouraging others to discuss (or take) such actions, including:
Hacking, phishing, flaming, exploits, cheating, spam, deceptive practices, scams;
Misleading, sexual or racy thumbnails or other images, videos or text;
Gambling with Robux or real money;
Terrorism, Nazism or Neo Nazism, organized criminal activity, gangs and gang violence;
Instructions for engaging in violent activities, including bomb- or weapon-making
Criminal activity;
Illegal drugs or prescription drugs without a prescription;
The use or sale of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco by minors; and
Blackmail or extortion.”

in the excerpt, it mentioned organized crime - does this refer to using roblox as a medium to perform organized crime in real life, or does it refer to games containing content that’s organized crime. Thanks!

This refers to using Roblox as a platform for organized crime I believe, based on the fact that one of the most popular games on the platform has organized crime as as one of it’s core gameplay mechanics.

I think it depends on what you can do in the game. If it’s kid-friendly I think it’ll be alright, considering in the popular game Jailbreak, the object is to escape prison and rob banks. So if that is alright, then yours should be too.

From what I interpet from this, it means discussing or encouraging legitimate criminal activity (not criminal activity roleplay in a game). The reason why I say this is because there are lots of games that revolve around crime, but it doesn’t necessarily encourage players to actually partake in real life.

This is simply what I take from it, correct me if I’m wrong though.
