Iâm honestly frustrated that not only did Roblox execute poor decisions in order to âprotect the rights of creators,â but when they tried uploading royalty free audio and sound effects, most of them donât fit any type of game. (they are out of place or another variation of a fart noise)
.
For the third one, I believe itâs due to Roblox being sued for copyright reasons and the deadline played a role in being so early in terms of notice. Even Roblox wouldnât set a deadline ~2 weeks before taking effect on such a large change to the platform.
Either that, or they mass uploaded sound effects that came from whoever or whatever they partnered with to get them onto Roblox replacing creatorsâ sound effects and the moderation is slow on those sound effects.
Specific accounts can bypass the filter since theyâre trusted and donât have a tag filter to deal with. However, automatically uploaded assets in this case bypass the filter and instead of being tagged like normal, they get through without a problem. Far worse cases have occurred due to this update as well, and even in the past, for example a specific personâs concertâŚ
Well, they couldâve at least made brute-force moderation before making audios private. What is the point of doing brute-force moderation on audio after implementing audio privacy even though private audio wonât even prevent copyrighted infringement?
My mistake, still would have been nice for to make sure it works when the update rolled out. Hopefully it doesnât take long for public audios to be a thing again.
Not gonna lie, from the âwater sfxâ that I saw, I am not hopeful⌠I can hear background noise in alot of them as well like fans, I donât think Iâll use half of them professionally.
Looking back, I really REALLY REALLY have to commend whoever handled the whitelisting of sound effects on the library. They seriously did such a ridiculously incredible job and tons of sound effects that I thought Iâd for sure have to replace are still up and just fine on the library! Seriously, this is amazing!
This makes the change infinitely less painful. I was completely wrong to doubt these efforts as tons upon tons upon tons of sound effects were actually whitelisted. Great job, guys! Thank you so much. You definitely proved my doubts wrong, at least on that front.
