(1)Dilemma
It is possible to cut off communication with harassers, cyberbullies, and "enemies" while you are on the website. But what if you are in-game? Ok, sure, there is a setting that allows certain people to follow you in game, but EVERYONE can see what game you are playing, and they can even click a link to that game. These unlikable people just click the link to the place and find the server you're in! It's really hard to ignore the words on the screen, especially since the ROBLOX moderating system is easy to slip by.
I'm actually used to this happening; I don't really bother or care. But there are people who really just can't stand this. What if we didn't have to receive messages from those players?
(2)In-Game "Ignore" Setting
With this in-game "ignore" setting, players can go without being harassed or bullied. With the click of a button and a username, players don't have to receive terrible messages from the other player. You can not only ignore specific players but you can also make it so you can only talk to friends, best friends, etc. just like with your account settings.

People from ages as low as 8 to ages as high as 16 play this.

Just ignore them manually, it goes to show you have no patience
WTC. 1973 - 2001. They were not towers. They were art in the skyline of New York City. |

I support this idea, it is very useful since this game is full of immature children. And it will help us to enjoy the game peacefully. |

No support.
It's quite simple to ignore people yourself, and if they start harassing you, there's a report button since harassment is against ROBLOX rules.

@Pie
Do you know how many reports roblox gets?
Support. |

Support. This will also make it much easier to read the chats of peoples I'm actually talking to. |
|
|
|
No support, but maybe a way to make only friends see what game you're in |

@cain
I've actually gotten a reply like that on my last forum, so I was thinking of posting a thread suggesting something of the sort.
@zac
My point is, imagine an 8 year old getting along with a 16 year old.

But rather than the dilemma I mentioned, it would be a lot easier to chat with certain people in a full mega place server, since 30 people having a conversation is bound to spam off your conversation.

@zac
My point is, the older people on this site are likely to bully the smaller kids. :|
Especially since they can get past the chat filters.

Well, either way, kids are bullied on ROBLOX.
And what you pointed out as a stereotype is common. The older kids find the smaller kids as easy targets.

Zac,just understand this idea,KAY?
The idea is brilliant.
You should also add this to your idea.
If you ignored that ''Player'' he cant see your chat.Or like..
Famous person meets Famous person 1.Then a noob enters..
famous....:Hehhe..
Famous1...:Blah...
NOOB:YEYA I LUV U 2
NOOB:WE GUNNA BE BESTIES FUREVUR!
NOOB:WANNA GO TRADE!!!
Famous and famous1:Your a noob,we dont want to hang out with you.
NOOB:-He keeps annoying them with his idiotic no-grammar sentances-
Famous and famous1:-They keep saying bad stuff about him,which makes some kind of heart-breaky emotions.-
That is some ''Sort'' of bullying.. |

Reading back, I see "bullying" a problem, and a lot of "older kids harassing younger kids". I'm 17 and I couldn't be bothered to argue with children. If anything, there's more younger kids that like to harass me about my age than older kids harassing younger kids. I've had more people within the 8-14 age range say I'm too old for ROBLOX, I have no life, I'm a fat loser that never goes out, than I've seen older kids flaming younger kids. I'd say that your opinion is wrong.
Also, many things can be easily misinterpreted on the internet because you can't see the persons facial expression. Something as simple as saying no could be easily taken as a weak no, a rude no, or a firm no.
Then when you get into grammatically incorrect people who type like this: "hi guys how r u" Those people either find it easier to type that way, or are simply too ignorant to be bothered with "perfect grammar" which many ROBLOXians seem to expect out of a website specifically designed for children.
I also saw that someone replied to my previous post saying that ROBLOX gets many reports a day. Well, if they have a problem with getting so many reports then they shouldn't have made a website for children because everyone knows that children bicker and complain about everything.What they need to do is hire more people to go through all the reports so that it's not such a load of work for them.
Finally, those who have low patience shouldn't have signed up in the first place, and if they came in not knowing that ROBLOX is a child friendly website, then ROBLOX should have made it clear for them on the first page of sign up: "This website is designed for children. Children do bicker and complain, those who have little patience should not sign up for ROBLOX" Simple as that, then there'd be less short fuses in ROBLOX.
And again, I do not support this suggestion. Some people need to learn that children will be children, and if you can't deal with children, don't play a childs game.
