The online community for the game Roblox is in an uproar and is taking to the internet to make sure their voices are heard. The hashtag #SaveRoblox exploded on Twitter. Growing problems within the community based around pedophilia have led to the fan base saying that they have had enough. They want something very simple, to be safe.
Players Are Scared and Angry
For those of you who don’t know Roblox is an online free-to-play game that attracts users from all over the world generating over 77 million unique players. 60% of them are under 16 due to the childish and simple nature of the game. The fan base flooded social media with outbursts of anger, disappointment, fear, and sadness for many reasons, however, the most shocking one was about the company’s moderation practices which led to a large number of predators being allowed on the platform. This issue has players begging for answers and solutions before their beloved game is too far gone to play happily and safely.
One user on Twitter by the name of Blizzerian stated, “The only thing that will “#SaveRoblox” would be Roblox protecting their younger users from Predators and Groomers.” A statement that seems obvious to most however has not been the case for the game Roblox.
Another Twitter user by the name of Zoroarkss said, “#SaveRoblox Turkey banned your game because it was riddled with predators that are yet to be banned. You constantly ban innocent people while allowing nsfw models and UGC accessories to be uploaded. Keep in mind that kids that aren’t even 10 play Roblox.” Without proper moderation, governments are forced to take action instead of the company doing what is right and implementing corrective measures to ensure their player’s safety. The question remains to the massive community, What is the company going to do about it?

Roblox has taken a massive hit within the public eye because of the mass amount of scrutiny they are facing online. However, Roblox wants to ensure their viewers that they will take action. In a tweet they announced, “.. Roblox community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things.” Unfortunately, it may be too little too late for them to save their image for this tweet was half a month ago, and #SaveRoblox hit trending on Twitter today.
Moderation Must Include Safety
The company will have to make drastic changes to its moderation tactics for its young users to feel safe against predators online. Amongst the issues of pedophilia, players are also unhappy about other changes that took precedence over their most important issue. For example, Roblox increased its fees while decreasing its developer’s pay. Affecting the player’s parents and the very people that make the company run. Amongst all of the recent issues, the changes that were made also created glitches within the game making their fans only more frustrated, hence the uproar online.
