Tl;Dr at the bottom.
Hi guys,
As veteran (08') of roblox, I've noticed something. Some of our games are not aimed at kiddys. I was 8 when I joined roblox, and well, when I was little some of the games frightened me, and others my parents didn't want me to play as they were simply too violent. So I suggest a future that will get more kiddys to play! 13+ games. All games are 12+ unless the owner chooses otherwise.
What qualifies as a 12+:
Horror (Don't want to scare little children)
Any gore
Violent FPS
Whats ok:
Paintball
Sword fights with no gore
Zombies (With no gore)
Anything else
Any dying with no gore
Incentives:
Obviously the market is larger for 12+ so there will be incentives to create Universal games. For example, a new way to get to number one, with a new category on the games page, U.
What if someone abuses U and makes a violent game:
Roblox can carry out their normal justice system.
Thanks guys, post feedback below! |

horror & gore are too expensive for developers to make nowadays
i'm not sure about violent FPS's |
|
|
Tl;Dr
12+ games for violent games. Universal games for non-violent. |

lolno
you wont imagine how much CoD kids play these days.
this wouldnt have any affect on them |
|
|
Kids can lie about their age, much like the little kids on CoD. |
|
|
This is more aimed at parents letting their kids play, so if they want their kiddies to play CoD, let 'em. If they don't want their kiddies to play CoD, probably don't want them to play robloxs version |

in r2d blood is blocks.
And, its the kids choice to play the horror game. Gore isnt PG-13 in movies, the first h4rry p0tter movie had blood in it and it was rated PG. |

lemme guess you also want swearing and the ability to talk about the birds and the bees hmmmmm |

This is actually a really great idea.
Roblox isn't just for kids, but being able to exclude younger players may be useful for tackling things that shouldn't be introduced to children such as racism and other serious subjects.
Is it okay to make a game that takes on the subject of racism seriously? Sure.
But such a subject is not something for younger players.
And the whole "The can fake their age" thing...
Roblox is not held responsible for any harm or damage caused by improper usage of their software, which includes illegally editing files of the program, Incorrect usage of the program and ofcourse, using false information.
This could only improve the site, protecting younger players from mature subjects, and allowing these said mature subjects to be delved further in in a proper manner. |

Yea kids will lie about their age. Just like how 8-10 year olds are playing 17+ M rated games. |

@Blockzbuilderz
Look at my post.
If a kid lies about their age, Roblox is not to take the blame.
This argument in invalid no matter how you put it, because Roblox takes no responsibility for any harm or damage caused by inserting false information.
Besides, parents who really don't want their children to access these kind of things would make sure they couldn't access it.
There's a reason companies have to add warnings to medicine and other possibly harmful things, because the consumer doesn't agree top anything when buying the medicine, unlike on Roblox where you agree their Terms of Condition, legally protecting them in case a child ate the medicine, or in this case used a false age to go into 12+ games. |

"Horror (Don't want to scare little children)"
sorry, but no matter what age, you can get scared of something fake
Twitter, @EverythingTUBE |
|
|
@Nt Not at all... I even did a Tl;Dr... |

Roblox would benefit and gain a lot of support from caring mothers, and mothers who don't give a toss don't lose can let their children play them.
And people can get scared of things that are not real. Do you know how much the horror film/game/experiance industry is worth? The zombie industry alone is 5 billion USD, and horror is a further 7 billion USD per annum, so if people weren't afraid, why would we collectively spend 7 billion on horror films a year?
Also, I'm not trying to change roblox rules, so we can swear etc, just help their youth policy. |

"As veteran (08') of roblox,"
that right there made me laugh because you're from 2013
anyways, blood and gore doesn't matter because it's just blocks
also don't forget about the cod tryhards and squeakers, they're not affected by violence |

I sort of support.
It wouldn't hurt, but, kids can still lie about their age.

"don't forget about the cod tryhards and squeakers, they're not affected by violence"
lolwat?
So many are affected.
Do you know how many younger kids will pick up a stick, a few rocks, and throw them at me like they're a gun?
And even more that get flint stones and pretend their knives.
It does affect them, trust me.

i wouldnt want to add swearing...
Horror industry makes millions of dollars in a year. And its the kids choice to play the game.
Roblox isn't the mother-friendly site.
Its the site where kids can have fun and make games. |
|
|
This will only entice people to fake their ages, although a majority already have. |
|
|
what makes kids fake their age is their teachers keep on telling them not to put in personal information so good luck on restricting it.
|
|
|
This is aimed a parents, not children. Parents can easily stop their children faking their age if they want to. And trust me, it does effect kids, who are easily influenced by what they see. I mean, c'mon they believe Santa is really because parents told them so, and them see him on the TV, but then their mind is swayed as soon as the parents just go 'LOL JK U NUB'.
AND I DONT WANT SWEARING! :P! |
