Just to add, (in mostly opinion), even roblox itself has filtering issues and some users can swear outside of the filters, upload inappropropriate content, and even make very and highly inappropriate games. It seems that many people forget why (mostly) children log onto Roblox it’s to have fun.Īnd where’s the fun in banning entire game genres? and, even if it gets banned, malicious players will still find other ways to do what they want, so should we let them ruin the game for everyone? But, actions like introducing an overtly strict chat filter or banning an entire game genre, are all bad and should be seen as such by all reasonable people, because they push security to the point of general unplayability and unenjoyability. A (relaxed) chat filter is good, a report button is good, a votekick system is good, because these features introduce security while minimally affecting playability. Of course not, because while such a thing might happen, we can not sacrifice playability for security. Does the possibility of that happening mean that players should not be allowed to walk around in-game? Take something as simple as players having the freedom to move their characters around ingame If a group of malicious players want to, they can arrange their characters in such a way that when viewed from above, they spell out inappropriate words, or form certain banned symbols. Please provide us your view of this topic:Īs long as players can interact with the game in any way at all, they will be able to abuse it. Should Roblox even allow these types of games (where users are given the tools to draw anything they want) to be created? I’m only here to discuss one potential issue that can erupt from this. Now I am not saying that this game is bad in any way, in fact, it’s a very nice and original game. Simple enough right? Except the fact that you are given a canvas with various brushes and an eraser, and anything you will draw will be shown to everyone in the server. It is not effective whatsoever.Īn example of such a game is Draw It! where a chosen user is given a word to draw out and everyone else has to guess the word from the picture. Every single player saw the swear word, so there really isn’t any point of the report button anymore except to punish the user. It’s like a user swears in the chat (assuming that there is no filter) and there is a report button for swearing. Sure the nasty drawing gets flagged and hidden (maybe the consequences reach all the way to the user’s account), but the drawing was drawn in the first place. Now you may be thinking, why not having a “REPORT DRAWING” button? I would say, it’s not that simple fellow developer. It’s not fair to the developer at all they didn’t anticipate it initially. Literally if a developer makes an awesome drawing game with these fancy brushes and whatnot, it only takes a couple of inappropriate drawings to get that entire game taken down. And that’s where we hit the barrier: unlike text, AI is currently not that advanced enough to moderate and filter images (especially ones just drawn in-game out of a bunch of cloned objects). If users have the freedom to literally draw anything and the drawing game reaches a certain popularity level, there is bound to be horrible people who want to ruin other’s gaming experience by drawing inappropriate pictures. In all seriousness though, there is a huge, unintended flaw associated with every drawing game. Why not just recreate Microsoft Paint or something? Sure-but, there is a DRAWback (haha). Roblox Studio has so many features now, we can literally create anything we want. I mean no offense to any developer or group that currently owns or is working on a drawing game, this thread is for discussion and discussion only.
