Eh... It was just a problem with the chat function. Fixed a long time ago. My son is 9 and plays Roblox daily. I try to play a couple different Roblox games with him every night but it's usually about every other night. Roblox has cracked down so hard on the whole "Child Grooming" thing that it's almost impossible for me and him to play together. Since I've got an adult account and he has a kid account. The main problem was with the chat function and bc of that Roblox went overboard with the chat censors. It takes me about 10 attempts to finally get the chat to say something remotely close to what I want it to say. Hell, you can't even type out simple sayings. If you try to say, "I Love You" it turns your text into all ########'s. You can't even type out, "Dad Hearts Collin," or "I <3 You Dad." It will not let you say anything related to love or relationship or anything. That being said... I wonder if that ad will appear on my sons game. If he saw it he would tell me how disgusting it was. I shouldn't have to worry about a kids(mostly) game trying to indoctrinate my 9 year old!
You have hit the nail on the head mate. Generally speaking i have found roblpx to be extremely child friendly and drspite being frustrated i cant send them robox codes i understand and happily accept this as no codes = no phone numbers (etc). We cant monitor everything 24/7 and i commend your son and your parenting for educating him to be mindful and raise any concerns. Keep up the good work mate as the kids are the future but whether the future is good or bad falls upon the parents shoulders
My understanding is that Roblox has had a problem with online grooming for a long time.
Ya prob right but my kids have played it for yrs and ive never seen advertising like this.

Can confirm; friend plays Roblox with his nephew and he says there are no words of affection allowed.
Also confirmed it is groom central over there.
