When i say "fake places" I mean places where the thumbnail is TOTALLY different to the game. This is scam. From the dictionary: SCAM Noun A confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit. -------------- So, lets say I joined a game called Minecr@ft tycoon. If it turned out nothing to do with the title, (i.e you joined and it was an obby) the creater would get 1 tix. And then when the game started to die off (no-one enters) the creater woud just change the thumbnail and title of the game and BOOM! More place traffic! -------------- So, a lot of the front page games' quality has dropped over time. Loads of games could get to the front page that are better than the current ones now but they don't. This is why a lot of people are quiting. -------------- Please support! And if you don't please leave a reason! -Talk. (Can reply to this one)

What do you expect them to do about it? Magically detect all fake games and ban them?

No, but it would only take about 2 seconds to check a game...

It would take more than two seconds. And what if the creator THOUGHT tycoons were obbies and got mixed up? Plus, it may take over 5 minutes to do that to one game, but there are like 1000+ more. This will need MUCH more support. Besides, personally I think only the gullible people fall for misleading game tricks. *cough* you *cough*

There wouldnt be 1000 fake games on the front page... Or, roblox could get rid of thumbnails, and that would stop some of the scaming.

Getting rid of thumbnails is the most stupidest idea ever.

This idea was poorly thought out, and most likely won't happen. Besides, what do we LOSE from joining a false advertised game? Nothing. It's not the developers problem. -3DThing.
