Say "Hello" to Display Names!

I am wondering when will this feature be available for users in the UK area?

Also touching apon the ‘impersonation’ topic:
I agree it could be abused in some ways but there are still the original usernames in place.
I do see it could be a place of potential scamming but that aside this update is quite good, I wanted something similar to what Steam offers.

Roblox has put in place display names. @SillyMeTimbers has no reasons to be banned.
I don’t know if your comment was as sarcasm or just misunderstanding.

I was talking about LonelySouls, not SillyMeTimbers.

Sorry, I have worded the sentence wrong but you get my point. (I hope)
LonelySouls just used the Roblox’s function so I do not understand why you would hope for him to get banned.

No, he’s/she’s impersonating mrflimflam. If you try putting mrflimflam’s name how it originally is, it’d be not allowed. LonelySouls put his/her name but switched the L’s for capitalised i’s, meaning he’s/she’s bypassing it. And bypassing isn’t allowed on roblox.

After looking in some chat setting scripts, I found this.


This could be helpful if anyone wanted display names to appear in chat.

Ok and? Literally not even mrflimflam cares about this kind of stuff. He shoudn’t get banned just because of that. It’s Roblox’s fault of not having a system where capital 'i’s are accounted for.

I do agree with this, He shouldn’t get banned cause of that. just slapped with a warning at most and a force DisplayName Reset.

But knockoff names of popular users should most definitely be registered in the system.

I think they re-enabled DisplayNames in my area, not sure for others.
Anyways, it’s not that easy to impersonate.

In the normal Roblox Client, they just have to check the leaderboard and menu.

On the secret Roblox Beta App, they just have to check the leaderboard. You can also check the menu if the game does not have an avater changer, and look for the Username and Avatar.

Tho, new users may get tricked.

I believe Windscribe probably has it in the US South category or something. Pretty sure you can specify with NordVPN as well (it works with American states)

Yeah, I pointed that out a while ago, ChatSettings automatically disables it. (as of June 2021, it auto enables it)

Here’s a resource for you (from December btw but this has existed since September or something):

Exactly, I am trying to tell the exact same thing to him.

I was just saying, I don’t think they’ll just not allow mrflimflam as a Display Name on accident, it must have been for purpose, so if someone would bypass the filter they should get banned or warned for it and maybe a Display Name reset if they have that.

From what I’m getting from you guys, it’s like saying someone that’s playing explicit audio in a kids game shouldn’t get warned nor banned because the kids won’t mind it.

Plus it’s just an opinion at the end of the day, like chill yall :neutral_face: .

I like this update for single player story games (for example instead of saying their username said this, we could do their display name said this.)

Yeah and one time i looked up “roblox” in players and didn’t even see the official account at all

I like it! However, it slows down moderation.

Too bad my real name, Verne, is considered ‘obscene’ by the filter :roll_eyes:

I don’t see why people are so mad at this. If you try to impersonate users they can still check your username to see if you are actually the person you are impersonating. Many people view this as a free username change but it’s not like that at all

Alright, EVERYONE! We’ve done it!!! We have officially come across our SECOND MrFlimFlam In-game Encounter. As seeing the last user was partially attacked and this user is a user on the forums I’m blurring out his name but not his avatar :eyes:
