So I think we're all aware that ROBLOX's scammer issue is well and truly out of hand. I have an idea that could stop scammers entirely.
Simply whitelist links. I know, it sounds bad right now. But if we whitelist trusted links, like youtube, twitch etc. we can avoid people losing accounts to keyloggers, scammers, whatever. Lets say whenever somebody posts a comment, forum reply, posts on a group wall or anywhere else, and their post contains a non-whitelisted link, their comment will be automatically deleted and they will be given a warning.
"But what if people want to share images without uploading them to ROBLOX?"
Members of the community should be able to submit links they think should be added to the whitelist. If a link is submitted enough and it is appropriate for ROBLOX's audience, then it should be accepted.
If somebody tries to disguise a link to a strange website like robloxrobux using symbols or spaces and the link isn't detected, a member of the community should be allowed to flag comment for a link to a malicious website. They will only be allowed to flag a comment if it contains .com, .net, .co.uk, (dot)com etc. to avoid someone spamming the system with harmless comments. |
