The Groups Front Page has been filled with scam/spam groups on the absolute top for ages

There seem to be a moderation issue with the groups front page - as it seems that the page has been abandoned for several months. For the past few months, anyone that has accessed the front page for groups has seen massive groups with games that are misleading or promoting free robux.

These groups also seem to have been moderated in the past - so there’s possibly been attention from the AI moderation or a flaw with appeals.
A example is seen with this group where the description is deleted along with a role name.

All games that are seen within these groups are all misleading.

  • They promote free Robux on most circumstances
  • They are games that teleport to a game of a completely different sort
  • They are games with false game passes that do not award the item that they are advertising

There is no point of going through the report process for these games, as the AI does not detect anything wrong.

Now, let’s say that they do get past all of this without issues because they falsely describe in the description that its not Robux and just clickbait and such, but this sort of behaviour is definitely something that could be looked upon by people that cannot be ignored - this is a front page to advertise groups that people will look at, especially new people.

We could argue that they are also not matching the category that the front page is matching them at.

For example, all the roleplay category ones are groups containing obbies and tycoons. This is the same for the ones in Roleplaying.

There’s several things wrong with this. The entire front page looks like a page that nobody should use. Especially with those game icons being misused.

These games have not been allowed previously on the Roblox platform but now Roblox is letting it slide. If Roblox is trying to combat against Robux in the black market, this is probably a good way to combat through it. A group shown on this had 1 million robux of funds. These funds are earned from Premium Payouts, false advertised gamepasses and all the teleports that happen.

It’s been this way for many many years now. Not a bug, never getting fixed.
