They’re pretty vague on what that means, I’m scared this will affect macros or very fast inputs, but they can’t be that dumb?

It’s more likely focusing on checking IP address and how “human” your inputs is, kind of like what reCAPTCHA does. That’s what I think personally, I highly doubt it will simply ban you because of macro, hopefully…

does this mean that alternative bootstrappers like Bloxstrap is not aligned?

Not neccecarily, it’s “trusted” by engineers and doesn’t modify the roblox client.

It’s corpospeak that covers everything yet says nothing. They could’ve just said “We will be cracking down on exploiting and botting” but that would imply they’re actually going to put in effort to address these issues.
Last time the phrasing they used was “cheating and exploiting are not welcome on our platform”. Considering the problem is bigger now than it was then it seems like they were all talk and little action. Lets see 6 months from now how well these ‘three initiatives’ do in tackling the issue.

Happy New Year to Roblox Staff too!
Personally, I mostly played my own game, cos I’ve been working on it 2 years, built it in a way that was fun for me to play, and this year it finally became somewhat successful. I also like seeing what others enjoy about it, and it gives me insights to what I could improve.
There’s been some pretty cool updates last year. Unfortunately, there’s also been some downgrades - for me, most notably the sunsetting of User-Ads. They’ve always been a huge part of Roblox to me. I know sometimes they could appear tacky, but they really did give the website character. The website felt more free, wasn’t always white / grey bland - especially before they introduced this new ‘clean’ theme. The website as a whole felt a bit like a scrapbook. It was a mess, yet it was still much easier to navigate and find games more suited to you back then. The re-introduction of genres and introduction of subgenres is great, but still lacking compared to how it was. Why can’t we just simply click a genre / subgenre and see all games in that genre listed in order of CCU? We must instead go into “Charts”, scroll down to find the desired genre, and even then we’re only shown the top 10%.
I know I’ve got nostalgia goggles right now, but I don’t understand why they’d deliberately make it more difficult to find a game I’d enjoy. Just reminiscing of simpler times I shuppose.

Except the platform that needs it the most and is very popular. Not complaining or anything, just perplexed.

I second this. It has puzzled me too. Most update announcements seem cool until you realize they usually come with hidden strings attached, that make the update kinda feel pointless / half baked.

What’s so ambiguous about modified clients? It’s obvious they’re talking about exploiters.
Bloxstrap doesn’t count as a modified client as it just changes fflags, fonts, and assets files. Why it's not reasonably possible for you to be banned by Bloxstrap · bloxstraplabs/bloxstrap Wiki · GitHub

This was a small week compared to others though I’m quite concerned about this one
This has been promised a lot of times and it is still going on.
I know its not possible to fully remove all this farming and exploiting but it doesn’t seem to be getting better, even after “byfron”
Literally on youtube there is tutorials to bypass byfron

Improving this approach is also a very nice solution for many issues beyond exploits and account farming, it will also help have more control over server creation/locking for efficient matchmaking logic and communication between servers.
(Expecting too much: I would also love to be able to have my own virtual machine, a “server with no players” to make queries that can detect and solve concurrencies)

I accept the rhyme of fear with year as an official new year poem from Roblox, now let’s see if occlusion culling will be available on Android this year.

Any updates on the verified badge? The last verification wave took place in October 2024, and there have been no announcements or updates since then.

sounds like a bad idea, Automatically flagging and review with human agent would probably be better
I don’t want to randomly get moderated by AI for false positives
