There is only one reason why I am re-posting this. This is a very sad story.
Yesterday afternoon, I got caught and banned for trying to think of names for the 13'ers. Some of them were considered to be inappropriate. ROBLOX thought that I was an intruder to their game, even though the other 4,490 posts were all clean. They ended up CD'ing all my other posts. I need to refresh some of my best ideas and I need to earn some supports back.
This is ROBLOX Books 2.0.

Just giving you a little... proof, I guess.
Thanks for reading that part. I really appreciate it.

SECTION 1: OPENING
As you have read above, the only reason why I am re-posting this is because of that story. Well I guess I deserved it, because what I said did make fun of 13ers. I think this is a very interesting suggestion you are about to read and that you should consider reading it. I take a lot of my free time out of my life to write this. It takes me a very long time. If you can just read it, I will become happy.
There is no TL;DR, and there will never be ANY TL;DR. Got it?
Suggestion time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 2: CREATING A BOOK
Creating a book will be very simple. When you are on your profile, and you scroll down to your stuff, there will be a new tab down there called "Books". This tab will also appear in 'Inventory' and 'Character'. When you click on it, obviously, it will show the books the ROBLOXian has made. There will also be an option to 'Create a book' and to 'Shop'. Players will click 'Create a book' to go to a new page.
This new page will show a rectangle around the size of your place picture when viewed in full screen, except turned sideways, on the right side. On the left side there are 2 fill-ins. One will say "Title" with the fill-in box next to it. The other one will say "Description" with the fill in box next to it. Right below the description box, it notes that it will not be part of the description of the book before you buy it, and that they can only read the description after people it the book.The description can only be 1000 characters long. You just select one of your decals into the book pictures to make a book picture.When you are done with this part, click 'Next.'
This part will ask you what font size you want your book to be, from 12 to 16, what font you want your book to be, from a choice of commonly chosen fonts. It will also show you how many lines your book will be if you choose your font, and an example of what your page will look like. This part will also ask you if you want chapters, and it if you said yes, then it will ask you how far do you want a new chapter to start at. When you are done with this, click "Next".
The next page will explain all the rules of creating books. You can read some of these rules in section 5. When you are done reading the rules click "Start your book".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 3: WRITING A BOOK
I believe this will be the shortest section.
Writing a book is very simple. All you have to do is type complete sentences and your fine. If you don't write complete sentences, ROBLOX will detect that you are trying to spam in your book.
All swears are moderated by ROBLOX's forum rules. When a word is added to the book that is not appropriate to the forum rules, that word will be highlighted in red. This way, the user won't have to search through a gazillion words to find the one that is keeping the book from getting published.
If you are not done with your book and you have to go somewhere, you can save your book as a draft and continue at any given time.
When you are done with the book, click "Done" and then ROBLOX will ask you 'Are you sure you are done with your book?', with the yes or no option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4: PUBLISHING A BOOK
Publishing a book means that you are about to free your book into the public, maybe even become famous off of your book. When you publish your book, though, you want to make sure it is complete.
When you clicked 'Yes' in the yes or no option thing, it will bring you to a page where you have to give the description to the book shown to everyone. It will also give you the chance to write 2 fake reviews on the book to help advertise it and get more buys. When you are done with this, click 'Next'.
This next feature is to name a price for your book. This is a BC only feature. People that are NBC still earn one ticket for every person that buys one of their books. BC, though are allowed to name the price of their book anything they want. When you are done with this, click 'Finish'.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5: BOOK FEATURES
There are several book features that I have mentioned already, but some couldn't have been mentioned in the first 4 sections. This section is just a list of other book features and what they do.
BookRating- People can rate books 1-5 in the comments.
Book Duration- This will appear along with the important information and stuff.
Creator: noob
Created: 1/3/37
Book Duration: 7331 pages
Pictures- Users will be allowed to add pictures into their book by taking one of their decals and inserting it onto the page, resizing it.
Reporting books: Some books may include inappropriate content and it must be reported. You can report a book by copying and pasting one or 2 quotes from the book (must be less than 500 characters altogether) and send it to a Moderator to look at.
Book rules- Basic book rules include: all ROBLOX rules, no advertising stuff inside your book, no links inside books.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6: PROS/CONS
PROS:
-More kids reading
-Higher reading level
-More of an interest for kids reading
-Higher chance of kids suceeding
CONS:
-Eyes become harmful.
-Headaches
-There's going to be a player that everyone hates that writes books and is famous
-A developed hate of reading
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7: WHY I WANT IT
There are many reasons why I want this to happen. I think this is a great idea to be added to ROBLOX. It will not harm ROBLOX in any way.
It might make ROBLOX richer, because of a BC feature, people might want to sell their books for money, which makes them buy BC.
ROBLOX Books might help kids get an interest in reading books.
There's not much really I can say for this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8: CLOSING
Dude, if you made it to here, here's your medal. You read probably around 500,000 characters of heaven. I worked very hard to type this, and you are one of the people that appreciated me.
I'm done for the day.
If you support, thank you.
If you don't support, please give a valid reason why.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!

Great Idea!

But here is the con: A person looks at a illegal PDF book off the internet and copy and pastes. |
|
|
Then they get credit, and soon it becomes a published book "Discovered on Roblox.com!". Then the original creator of the book or someone else sees it and it causes a law-suit against both Roblox.com and the plaigirizer. |

Good thought, LikeCarter.
Reporting books includes plagiarism, inappropriate content, and more.
Any book you see that is plagiarized, just report the book and it will be deleted.
otherwise bump.

I don't respect you at all, Im kind of happy that you were caught as I'm pretty sure I've seen you troll. I don't like this idea either as it is pointless for the community, and people would use this to launch Personal Attacks. |

@zeke and hidogs- I never asked for anyone to respect me, and if I did, I'm sorry.

If that MINISCULE post was designed to troll me, you failed miserably.
THIS is how you troll someone with a long post: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=78607660
Foolish human.
Anyway, just go to the creativity unleashed wiki.
Because honestly, stories? There's already forums for it, scripts for it (I have made script-stories.) ETCTETC.
Roblox just isn't designed for "stories."
It's just not moderateable for just how long it is.

No support, roblox is not a library. We can make stories on the forums just fine. |
