If you’re gonna have this type of easily exploitable system at the very least shorten the suspensions to more reasonable times such as 15 minutes to an hour.Once you have gotten the requirements in order, you are set to enable this game feature. Not everyone on Roblox is honest (far from it) and whoever implemented this clearly does not understand that.Įven absolutely zero voice chat moderation would be far better than this and would cause less problems. People are literally abusing this problem yet the feature was taken out of beta testing with this massive flaw. I mean, at least text chat uses trigger words for moderation. It seems Roblox’s moderation bots will automatically suspend anyone who gets reported for voice chat regardless of what they said (or if they even said anything for that matter.) This is an absolutely awful system. I had my microphone on for a couple of seconds and said literally nothing and my voice chat was suspended for 24 hours. I was in a server and someone literally admitted to going through the server list and reporting everyone. It’s been months and now that voice chat is out of beta this is still a huge problem. Roblox used to actually show the images to you when your account was punished (seek, Fleskhjerta’s ban which is I’m pretty sure 10+ years ago), but now it’s just not there, what if I don’t know what I did? All it says is, “ Voice chat conversation on XX/XX/XXXX at 12:00 AM in ”. What if the AI misinterprets me saying a very bad thing? And also, when they ban you, it’s completely vague. Screaming while falling is hilarious and there shouldn’t be any moderation for that when it’s just a couple of friends in a private server or something since a inside joke could potentially get misinterpreted as a bad thing.Īs you’ve seen from my examples those are usually 17+ games and an honest hot (but probably bad) take, voice chat moderation should be completely off limits during 17+ games.Īlso, just a weird thing, but I’m afraid of what I say in the first place. Call of Duty used to not have moderation until way later when they decide to add actual moderation which was (obviously) really controversial. Thank you for reading and have a good day!Īdding more to this, most games that use voice chat don’t have moderation in the first place like most ( Valve) Source games (Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, etc). Some answers I would love to hear would be:ġ.) How is Roblox moderation handled presently?Ģ.) How does Roblox intend to improve voice chat in the future?ģ.) Will moderation for 17+ experiences be the same as younger age groups? I dont want to lead a hate campain towards Roblox, my only goal is to promote a healthy conversation. The more this issue is talked about, the better chance of it being addressed. If you’ve had similar problems or anything new to add, please let me know. I want to spark a dialogue about this issue, as most affected people can’t express their frustrations on the dev forum due to length restrictions. I am incredibly disappointed in the state of Roblox voice chat moderation, and many others are too. Under no circumstance should a system that flawed and unfair ever be enforced on millions of players if those reports are to be believed. I’ve seen Dev Forum posts by the owner of the game “On Tap” talking about players getting VC banned, when they never spoke. The practice of banning players without speaking in a game, based solely on reports, is unfair and for a corporation of Roblox’s size…outright unacceptable. If Roblox aims to support 17+ communities, it must reconsider moderation for this age group or VC as a whole. I recently had my VC privileges suspended in the game “On Tap,” a 17+ game, without a specific reason stated. People avoid voice chat games due to fear of unjust moderation. Although implementing features like voice chat helps communities and experiences on the platform, the moderation actively works against Roblox’s goals for voice chat. People, including myself, cannot talk in a voice chat game without fear of getting banned. The moderation system on Roblox is flawed. Many players have faced warnings, suspensions, and temporary bans for unfair and illegitimate reasons. If you’re reading this and have been on Roblox voice chat in the last few months, chances are you know exactly what I’m talking about.
