The Roblox Erotic Roleplay Community - "Roblox's ERP problem began in the mid 2010's as a quiet whisper. Over the next decade, this whisper would slowly grow into a blood curdling scream, audible from every corner of the platform."

I don't care if the lawsuit ultimately lacks teeth, we're not looking for a single knockout blow here, we just need this to stay in the headlines and maintain pressure long enough for, ideally, some kind of legislation down the road. I maintain the issue is the lack of transparency in moderation. They don't answer to anyone when it comes to their safety moderation decisions. They need some kind of oversight to make sure they're actually doing their jobs and effectively banning these predators. That's all that's required. Doesn't even need to be a government agency responsible for it. Just basically a third party security team whose books and practices are open to the public so people see what's really going on and aren't complaining to a moderation team that has no obligation to act. Literally could just pay people like Ruben to handle the issue as outsiders from the company and it's a done deal. But that probably requires some kind of regulatory law to put into place.
A Win is for Roblox to reach mainstream news as a safe haven for Pedophiles.
they deserve everything coming to them for enabling pedophiles.
and for defending pedophiles.
and for accomodating pedophiles
and for profiting from pedophiles
and for assisting pedophiles

Roblox victimizing children is perhaps 10x larger and more severe than Epstein Island
if Roblox CEOs can get dragged in the mud and all Roblox Employees that enable this behaviour, then it would be a steppingstone for Epstein Island
since it will prove to people that Wealthy pedophiles CAN get strung up

The name Roblox needs to fill the minds of every person with horror stories by the end of this lawsuit. If Roblox isn't throughly tarnished they will not change their behavior. Burn it to the fucking ground.
 
I read personal injury firm. Oh. Oh dear. Roblox has done fucked themselves good. He didn't just get a lawyer, he has an entire fucking team. Roblox is getting double slammed, from Louisiana on one end, and @Schlep on the other. They are FUCKED
Forget person injury firm, Chris Hansen is on the case. They’re ultra-fucked. He actually announced on his podcast a couple months ago that they are working on a documentary about Roblox. Interesting to see Schlep is involved.
 
Sorry to self-reply but just wanted to share this article I read some years ago. It's pretty interesting and a stellar example of a developer putting time, effort, and thought into developing a child-focused platform where safeguarding systems balance efficacy with being unintrusive (to a child).

Compare Disney's attitude to Roblox's and it becomes quite clear where the difference lies. The point is, this shit is possible. Roblox want to spend neither the time nor the money required to make the platform safe. More than that even, they are simply too apathetic or too retarded to have cared about children's safety since very likely day one of development.
The most charitable thing you can say is that they are greedy bastards who don't care where the money comes from. And that's THE BEST CASE SCENARIO! You don't go after pedo hunter's if you had a shred of shame or morality.

 
XYZ Public Bathroom Simulator — one of the largest NSFW games on Roblox — has been placed under review.

Toontown in particular had pretty good safeguarding in place. You had a (fairly comprehensive) set of preset phrases available to you that were more than adequate for any situation in the game. If you wanted free chat, you needed another user's friend code which was meant to limit free chat to people who already knew each other outside of the game.

Of course people found a way to get around it by jumping to indicate numbers and placing coloured furniture for letters, but the free chat still had extremely comprehensive filtering. Given that it pre-dated the more popular off platform chats I'd be surprised if there was even a whiff of a predator problem in the game.

Can't comment on the various revival projects that exist other than that they're both developed and enjoyed by age regressing troons and autists so I'd imagine grooming would be a concern - but I'm sure they have a maximum of about 300 regular players across all versions so who cares.
God I feel old but Toontown was goated as fuck, very simplistic in a lot of ways for a mmo. but it had a charm you couldn't get anywhere else.
 
Louisiana Attorney general Liz Murrill is now suing Roblox because of these ERP communities grooming kids and the lack of moderation on the site.

They are not wrong. Even back in the day when Minecraft was most popular all the porn was hidden away on private servers. Roblox porn out in the open like in Second life. Minecraft grooming more of discord problem. Not the game itself.
 
I don't remember there ever being an issue with Club Penguin, which ironically is abbreviated "CP".
Club Penguin required you to pay to access servers that allowed free chatting - non-members were restricted to a limited set of prebaked phrases and emotes. And if you grew up in the late 90s to 2000s, you know how parents were generally unwilling to consistently pay for subscriptions like that. The proliferation of subscription services in general has made parents less wary of shelling out money for their kids, which is why you now see these kids trading copious amounts of Robux and V-Bucks.
 
This story came to me via extremely normie channels, a fellow mom started explaining a somewhat garbled version of this in the GC and I thought “I bet the farms has the real story” and here we are.

Some non-online parents I know are pretty worked up about this.
 
Roblox has had plenty of forward warning to shape up. They have ignored it. These are consequences. You fuck around, you find out.
Honestly, I'm starting to wonder how many Roblox employees have criminal records themselves. It is very tempting to start phonebooking Roblox employees.
This is the future that you have asked for, now you get what you wanted.
