For the safety of our players, we allow only certain websites to be linked to from ROBLOX. Allowed sites: *.roblox.com/ (anything that ends in .roblox.com is allowed) Youtube.com/ Youtu.be/ (YouTube's URL shortener) Twitter.com/ All other sites are not allowed to be linked to by players. Linking means typing out the web address, even if it's just in the text of your message. Also, putting symbols or spaces in the address to break it up still counts as linking. If you want to tell someone about your account or username on another site, just tell them the name of the site and your username. Don't put the address to sites that are not allowed. -----MY IDEA----- But I had an idea, to make it slightly less strict. Before a link is posted, ROBLOX will approve it, if it's okay, and kid friendly, etc. Because there are tons of bad websites out there, that's why they should be strict, but not so strict. I believe that the image moderators should also approve of links, unless ROBLOX wants to make a ROBLOX link moderator team. Before not supporting, please consider this idea. How would it effect others? How would it effect yourself? We'd be able to make websites for a ROBLOX group! And share it with others! There would be many other reasons. Thank you for your time, fellow ROBLOXians! :)

No support. Even a facebook link could contain 18+ material.

@Vikinq: The purpose of this forum is to suggest the moderators APPROVE a website. I guess people can't comprehend easily...

@iMolly - agreed. But any suggestions that merely suggest that ROBLOXians take a baby step out of this sitewide ball pit, you get blasted with replies/comments related but not limited to "DIS IS KID WEBSITE U KNO KIDS LIE BOUT AGE" - and so forth. Good luck +Vouch
