I think it has something to do with their new real-time CSG features. They don’t want to discourage such a potential for growth on the platform, even though it’s contradictory.

It sucks that free-form will be restricted to 13+, they could have discovered a different approach to this.

what other approach is there, its not humanly possible to moderate millions of creations a minute

I know a lot of people are against AI, but since ROBLOX already uses it for moderation, it wouldn’t hurt to create a system specifically for moderating 3D assets and give developers the tools to manage it.
My game, Oaklands, allows users to build using resizable shapes. Would this mean that my game would have to be moderated for 13+? Does this instead fall under the category of being assembled with 3D assets, making it fine?
This feels… bad. The rest of the update is some nice, well-needed changes - but the policy being applied retroactively will absolutely nuke old games where the developers haven’t been able (or just haven’t wanted to) update their age ratings.
Time will tell, I guess :/

For creators who have very popular games, and have been offline since before the experience guidelines, <13 users won’t be able to play some of the games they know and love because of an oversight in this update.

Well doesn’t this basically defeat half the point of EditableImage? It’d be great if we had some kind of API for moderating images in-game.

Hahahaa… so what are you going to disallow next? Can you give us a bit more of a lead-up so we can actually react? Feels like I dodged a bullet with this one. Not thrilled about what might be next.

This change is necessary, but my question still is:
When the questionaire changes and you need to fill it out again like you’d have to do a month ago with the additional horror question, does this count as a not filled out questionaire immediatly, after a specific time period or not at all?
And does this then impact the games discovery?

Exactly, AI tools would be a great alternative to 13+
Absolutely great update! Im glad you guys are actually trying your best to keep under 13 users safe!
You guys are going in the right direction.

what does “3D assets that have individually gone through Roblox moderation” mean? I’m pretty sure most building games from old Roblox don’t have their assets go through Roblox moderation, not even the now private, Welcome to ROBLOX Building you guys made.
if u have a game in which you can place down furniture, has that furniture gone through roblox’s moderation beforehand?/is roblox able to moderate it for themselves?

they are not talking about the couch itself they are talking about how the couches are positioned.
why are you not reading everyone’s replies properly?
Guess the spray paint game will just have to die even though they have strict moderation in place of their own…

Okay, well maybe this wouldn’t affect WTRB or any game that fixes and uses the stamper tools.
But this doesn’t answer the question for other games that don’t use the Stamper tools. Take Community Construction, a game from 2006 as an example.

Yes, I did. I find this obscure, I am asking for clarification. I have spoken with my colleagues over this as well.
