Roblox is a place where people of all ages create and play games. People can interact with each other and can be social with people. With all the wonderful things you can do on Roblox, there can be some downsides if children play.
What is Roblox?Roblox is a website where you can create games, and
publish them on the
web. You can
interact and chat with friends, customize your avatar, and have an amazing time. Play with friends
online, on computers, tablets, phones or even in virtual reality.
What Does Roblox Filter?
Roblox
filters many things, from the
chat inside the game to
inappropriate avatars. It would be
very hard to misbehave.
If you would
misbehave in Roblox, you would likely be
banned from
Roblox or get a
warning.
Here is a list of how Roblox
protects children:
- Avatars will always be wearing clothes.
- Children under the age of 13, will have a chat filter on the website and inside of a game. The filter is extremely protective, to the point where it filters out numbers and words that will sometimes come up in day-to-day conversation. Children over the age of 13, will be able to say more things than a child under the age of 13 would. Either way, it filters out swearing, racism, and offensive things.
- Anything uploaded by people will be moderated before anybody can see it. (Advertisements, Clothes, etc.)
- Roblox reporting system, to report users that will not comply with the rules or guidelines of Roblox.
- Parental controls: chatting, and privacy.
So Is Roblox Entirely Safe?
Although Roblox has all these
features to make sure
children are protected online, sometimes you could use
slang to bypass chat filters, or you could create games; upload them, and
edit them in the
future to turn into Roblox
scam games.
Roblox scam games are
fake games that pretend to give you
Robux. (Robux is the in-game currency players use to make purchases for things. You can earn this from sales of goods, or by buying it with
real money.) The games usually ask you to type your
Roblox username and password, in order to
receive "unlimited Robux". Some games have gone
very far, by asking for a
credit/debit card.Luckily,
Roblox moderates its website and
different games 24/7. Making sure that it is a
fun place for
children, and
people of
all ages.
Example of a scam:
My OpinionI play Roblox a lot. It is a
very fun and intriguing game. If you have a child/children that might want to play Roblox, and you know that they are
responsible enough to
play online. Then, I would recommend to let them play. If you want to make sure your child is
safe and protected, you could access
parental controls located in, Settings>Privacy. There is
no age rating for Roblox. Personally, I would recommend children
10+.
