Before I begin, I'd like to announce that I played as a guest for about 1 year until I actually gave in and made an account. I'm still getting used to the many features ROBLOX allows accounts and we are very lucky that they made guest accounts. Personally, when I first started ROBLOX on a guest account, I about quit. Everyone was always killing me everytime I spawned and I didn't have time to react. We've all killed guests because they are are newer, therefore, the weaker opponent. The guests could still play all the other games that normal accounts play but they'd also have the choice of a guest only game. Some of the games for guests would include ones that you don't have to talk in such as SFotH, Fencing, any non-commanded war games. I remember when I first started that I always wondered how I was supposed to medieval roleplay with the safe-chat bar. The guests games would allow people to learn slowly without being killed or "abused" in-game by experienced players. A lot of times you will see guests leave after the 3rd or 4th spawnkill. If we could create guest games I think the guests may think they are getting better because they are having the advantage of interacting with the same type of experience. Pros: Guests have a better chance in fighting, can interact with each other better, and have games that are MEANT for no talking. Cons: Not seeing other ROBLOXians if they click a guest game, and an exploiter could go onto a guest account and exploit making guests confused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My other suggestion was allowing a filter chat so when you type a word it comes up red if it is not allowed, allowing guests to have more talking abilities. Please post your comments and opinions on why you agree/disagree and what I could improve on.

@Coldbloodedkiller9, I'm sorry that my suggestion would never happen. >.> You were a tad rude there. I'm new to this forum and you didn't even say WHY it wouldn't happen. I'm already about to quit this forum with people's comments and no reason why they said so.

"We've all killed guests because they are are newer, therefore, the weaker opponent. " A lot of people make the assumption that guests are banned players from ROBLOX seeking a way to destroy other people's work without getting banned (thus the guest account cover). It's terrible to think that, but we're on a kid's website. They'll believe just about anything. Anyway, I really like this idea; no flaws found. However, maybe there could be a message telling the guest exactly WHY they're given the option. As for the filter, I really believe that could work. -Virtualdarks

@EB i apologize, i didn't mean to come across as rude. but it wont happen because Roblox believes that guests need to get fully exposed to the game, this includes playing with active players. and i greatly hope you don't quit this forum, seeing some of the things you've posted, i know you have great potential to be a great forumer. ~life is like a game, without a reset button~

@Virtualdarks, Thanks for the support! I do agree on the message before they play telling them so. It'd really help them! :-) As of the filter, I haven't seen a thread announcing this idea but I'll probably make a bigger thread for this certain suggestion only. There are a few sites that have this idea implemented into their system but for all players; I think it'd help guests a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts on this.

@Coldbloodedkiller9, I'm sorry for saying it was rude. I just had 6 views on this thread and I felt like it was because I was new. I HIGHLY doubt I'll quit this forum do to the fact that suggesting and making a fair argument comes easily to me. Thanks for the apology though! :-)

No support. Guest do exploit because they can't get banned. I've seen them all the time. And most guest ruin everything most of the time and we can't stop them. Example, I'm building a house then a stupid guest comes and deletes it. I'm making a car and a stupid guest puts a hover brick on it. They always ruin everything and thats why we spawnkill them.

i support this, guests are locked into safechat no matter what there age is. the communication boundary for teamwork is vast and guests are often looked down upon... i have to be honest but think that the guests being banned users is kinda true because its what allot of us would do if we ever got banned or wanted to grief or hack.

@Darkdemon01, You practically just stereo-typed there but if you would have read my whole thread I stated in the "Cons:" section that users could come in as a guest and exploit everyone out.

I always wished the guests would be forced to go to Guest-Only places. That way, they wouldn't be able to exploit the users, and they would have other guests to play with. They might even be able to use type chat. The problem is, most guests learn by watching users, so I've always been a bit shifty on the idea of Guest-Only places. I guess giving them a choice of both is a good idea. I support.

@122334shadow, Thanks! That is why I suggested they have an option, so they can learn off experienced users.

Support! Giving the guest their own server is actually a very good idea, because of the main thing you said about them having less experience, and it would make some people happy not to have guest in their game!
