I could create a Wikipedia page about [inappropriate topic] and send someone a link to it |

@nikola
But the article title is in the link, so the person would know what it was about. |

@Nikola, so by your logic, I could make an [inappropriate topic] video and send the link to someone. Am I right? OR, I can send an [inappropriate picture] from Twitter and send the link to someone. Am I right again? |

I forgot to mention that twitter links are allowed.

Full Support. It'll be the same as Youtube. Maybe, even more appropriate, |

Support, people who complain about inappropriate links, look at youtube and twitter, there are a lot more inappropriate things then on wikipedia

The title of the topic will be in the link, and if it is some inappropriate word, it will be filtered. |

Sent a (rather long) message to [email protected]
"I have a proposal
Option 1: Change nothing
Option 2: Allow Wikipedia Links on ROBLOX
Option 3: Make Twitter and/or YouTube links no longer allowed.
I got this idea from a thread by somebody on Suggestions & Ideas
Of course, not every idea will get added, some may not even be considered, but at the very least, I'm trying to get this idea noticed.
http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=102370588
Here's some reasons why ROBLOX may have banned these links in the first place:
*Some articles could be on inappropriate topics.
*Some articles may be about sensitive topics, they could lead to flame wars.
*Some articles could include inappropriate or possibly violent pictures.
On the other hand, here's some valid points I'd like to make:
*Tweets could contain offensive material, explicit content, violent words, and could start flame wars.
*For YouTube videos, it's the exact same as Wikipedia and Twitter, but to a whole new level.
This is where Wikipedia's similarities with those two end.
YouTube: In the links, you can't tell what on Earth the video will be, not just by looking at the title. You have to actually watch this. This could slow down the moderation system, and possibly trick people into watching it.
The example below is merely one of ROBLOX's videos, not an inappropriate one, but let's say the video DID have inappropriate content in it, just by looking at the link, nobody really knows what the video contains.
Links look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GVqyQOZjus
Twitter: Again, there's no exact way to know what you might be about to view without actually using the link.
Links look like this:
https://twitter.com/ROBLOX/status/414163819049402369/photo/1
If ROBLOX's tweet had an inappropriate picture in it, nobody could find out without clicking on it.
Wikipedia: You can instantaneously tell what the link leads to by simply looking at the link, thus allowing any user to report the link before viewing it, which is much easier than reporting an inappropriate video or tweet. Below is an example of what it'd look like if someone tried to link other users to an inappropriate article.
Links look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Insert inappropriate word here)
If some user wanted to be clever, and use something to shorten their link, I'm almost certain that ROBLOX filters those links. Such as t.co links no longer being allowed.
If somebody wanted to be clever, and make a thread full of inappropriate pictures, then give it an appropriate or random name, the Wikipedia bots would probably flag that article for deletion even quicker than a Forum Moderator finds and content deletes the thread. If they don't, it's still easy to tell what the link is going to be to.
On Wikipedia, you can't change the inappropriate word in the link to look appropriate, it'll redirect you to another article.
I'll use ROBLOX Battle for an example. If the words "ROBLOX Battle" were banned on ROBLOX, I could change that in the link's name, without changing the name of the game.
http://www.roblox.com/ROBLOX-Battle-place?id=96623001
would still work like this...
http://www.roblox.com/Just-some-random-game-place?id=96623001
However, it doesn't work like that on Wikipedia.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I know it's kind of long, I'm not going to expect without doubt that something will change, but I hope you at least consider it.
Thanks!"
I'll be expecting replies within 48 hours. |

^ Yup, that's what I am trying to say. And the moderation is great on Wikipedia, it even finds ALL the issues of the article (or should I say, they do not meet the relevant criteria, and they remove it)..

But even then, they don't remove the bad stuff, because usually older people research in Wikipedia too. That is why, the title will be filtered in the link.. AND t.co links will be banned, just like what bren said.

Leave it to info@roblox to give you a reply not worth waiting for.
I even provided a link to it on S&I, but this is what they said:
"Dear Brendon,
If you want your idea to be heard, try posting it to the Suggestions and Ideas forums!
Here's the link: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=21
Thanks!

People might abuse the "chance" of using inappropriate wikipedias. |
|

So, when I sent my extremely long post regarding this topic to info@roblox and got nothing as a result,
I copied and pasted my extremely long message onto the forums.
Now we have two petitions :D
