Roblox Community General Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Question: are there any Roblox general threads in 4chan's /vg/, and if there are how many posts discuss sexual cosmetics and anyone who calls it out as pedophilia gets labeled as a moralfag prudenigger who should go back to Xitter?
Better question: have there ever been roblox threads on /v/ that is some variation of "Do you troll kids to look up porn or gore as a joke?" as the OP, and whether Jannies delete it or not?
there are threads on /vm/, i don't know about your example specifically but they do talk about liking loli openly as one would expect from a 4chan thread so i probably would not put it out of the question
 
If anybody has notable discord lawsuits to share or are interested in reading complaints filed to discord over the last years, then see this thread to read/contribute. Currently a WIP and contributions are welcome.

I'm putting together a new project. I need some volunteers to test it out with me before I deploy it to a true public production usage. If you'd like to join in, please PM me. I'll be on again later today and can send some people the link to the alpha test version. No personal information is required, there's no registration, though I do collect IPs for a system I'm working on that will be able to automatically weed out malicious bad voters. VPNs allowed, Tor allowed.

There used to be one that was popular in 2014-2016. I remember seeing that thread but I don't remember if the last time I saw it was right before the hack, or if it was a longer time ago like last year. Either way, that thread was very dead in these recent times, as most of its regular posters just grew up or went into other communities.

There was also another /vg/ thread specifically for old Roblox games, but I never checked it out.

Fun Fact: Polyhex/TylerMcBride, creator of Super Bomb Survival, was a regular poster in the Roblox /vg/ thread. I saw some screenshots with him participating in raids and special events a long time ago, but I don't have them saved, so you'd have to "source: trust me bro" on this one. There's probably other famous Roblox devs that used to go there often, but I'm unaware of their existence.

I remember this guy becoming a faggot, the rename to Polyhex and the weird tumblr-ass artstyle he picked up were red flags. I actually encountered him in places online from time to time outside ROBLOX after he became Polyhex and he had a feeble way of writing. He would quickly see that he entered a place that was unashamedly uncensored and would silently leave moments after seeing someone demonstrate this. I think he started trooning out not long after.

I've been hard at work on this for most of the last 2 days. I think it's ready for you to try it publicly now.
Here's a basic overview of how it works:
1. People vote on groups that are potentially bad, but haven't hit the confidence threshold for being known as bad/good yet.
2. Once a group hits the confidence threshold for being known as bad, the scraper continues scraping from that point. Groups link to users, who link to other groups, and so on.
3. The network expands, bringing into the fold a new set of groups whose bad/good status is as of yet unknown.
This is only phase one. Since this is a far more efficient collection method than my last version dozens of pages back in the thread, where I classified everything myself, I can now collect much more data about good/bad groups much faster than before. Phase two is that, once more groups are at the confidence threshold, I can train a classifier to recognize the difference between good and bad groups and users, and hopefully then expand even faster. Knowledge begets more knowledge, and by voting, you make the flywheel spin faster and faster.
Currently at just shy of 3 million users' profiles scraped. We have a long way to go with this and every vote matters. Hop in and make a couple votes if you have a few minutes. No registration needed, no personal information required, and VPN and Tor users are welcome to participate. (I have preemptively blocked Indians from participating.)
Happy to hear any feedback people have. If you encounter bugs feel free to message me or say something in the thread. I am very very excited about this project.

INB4 this website is taken down for "discriminating protected classes of people"
 
Be sure to have an admin veto system in case unsavory types try to manipulate the votes to unfairly label innocent folks as pedos
I've got a basic system in place (which has not, at this point, been tested) to automatically detect this kind of behavior because I expect that, sooner or later, it'll come. Occasionally you'll be asked to vote for a node which is basically a honeypot to spot malicious voters - stuff that I've marked as being unambiguously one category or another. If you get enough honeypot questions wrong, your votes stop counting, but nothing changes visually. However, I hope that the consensus mechanism will be strong enough that this won't be needed, as I think that, even during periods of attack, the number of truly malicious voters will be very small. Less data = less accurate predictions.
So you're trying to track which Roblox Groups are Pedophiles? Is there an easy way to vote ALL OF THEM!!!?

Robot = Pedophiles. There are no degrees of separation. If you are >16 years old and doing anything involving Roblox you are a pedophile. I hate to break the news.
I understand your sentiment but please, don't vote this way. Enough people feeling this way will fuck up the consensus, especially when the site is in its infancy, and I don't want that. While I agree that there's probably something not right in your head if you're playing Roblox at 20, I'm more interested in cataloguing stuff like this:

I want the fucking freaks.
INB4 this website is taken down for "discriminating protected classes of people"
If they do take it down I'm going to pay through the nose to get a dedi somewhere where being part of one of these "discriminated classes of people" is straight up illegal. Hopefully it won't come to that but rest assured this isn't coming down in a meaningful way any time soon.
I think to some I might come off as soft for saying this, and maybe I am, but when I started this project dozens of pages ago and was doing all the classification manually, I had to stop because I find looking at this stuff all day genuinely upsetting. Ever since I stopped work on it before I've felt bad that I wasn't able to focus for longer on it. I want to continue this though because I think this project is important. To know this is happening and not do anything about it, even though I'm able, would be immoral.
 
anything i can do when i see the same name in every group ?
Sorry for double posting (will it merge? idk) but don't worry about the users individually so much. The users are automatically catalogued based on their group memberships, so by marking the groups, you're essentially also putting a red mark on every member of that group.
 
Hop in and vote!
This is a good tool! I think you should put up more of a disclaimer on what we need to vote for, as it seems that a lot of the votes are based on the members rather than the content of the group itself, which isn't what you're going for, right?

Don't bother if it's too much of a pain in the ass, but having a direct link to the store pages of these groups with "show unavailable items" selected would be super convenient. All it requires is changing the "CreatorName" field in the URL to the name of the group, which shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

A portion of these groups are nothing special, aside from the massive conglomerate of ERP accounts at the lowest rank of the group, using these groups like a directory to identify each other and potential victims alike. Ruben himself has covered this phenomenon before, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB_TZ8lFe18

Some of these groups appear to have been infiltrated by these accounts, rather than being actively complicit with them. That could be to create a veneer of plausible deniability, however. It would be nice to be able to attach a note to the votes on the site to help distinguish between cases of infiltration vs. cooperation, but it may just be a distinction without a difference at this scale.

You can lock groups. Now, might not be good having to either allow people in one by one or not at all, when you're trying to make a public thing - however, I believe the positives outweigh the negatives.
If you see that Impregnator and his friends have joined your weird group for uploading pngs, then you should try and do something.
