Roblox vs Schlep situation + ranting about roblox

If you live under a rock and don't know what's happening or if you need a recap, here's what happened: On August 9th of this year, Roblox sent a Cease and desist letter to Schlep. They banned all of his accounts and basically told him to stop catching predators and that he should've reported everything to roblox instead of taking manners into his own hands. Of course, here's the catch: Schlep does report everything to roblox and gives the same evidence to roblox that he does to local authorities. here's his video

The situation escalated so quickly. Some roblox creators dropped out of the star program, an actually congressman created a petition to pressure roblox, and roblox is getting sued by the state of Louisiana. Roblox has also made some awful responses to everything. Overall, nobody is happy about this.

I really hate this whole mess. It sucks to see that one of my favorite gaming platforms turns out like this. What pisses me off more is the fact that in all their recent responses, it's written in such a way that THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT KEEPING THEIR REPUTATION AND NOT THE FACT THAT THEY PUNISHED SOMEONE WHO CATCHES PREDATORS! THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME THE MOST UPSET ABOUT THIS (sorry for caps) I pray and hope that roblox is seriously held accountable for all of this. I pray and hope any victims are doing alright. I also want them to unban schlep, maybe hire him, and to implement more moderation features. I also want the current corporation team fired and to be replaced by new members, those that actually care about the community

it's such a mess. Roblox keeps becoming a less and less safer platform for kids which is awful. I hope something good comes out of this.

As someone who's been on the platform for about 9 years, it's so fucking miserable seeing how ROBLOX has degraded. Sure, I was around near the end of the golden age, but I've been around long enough to witness how far gone the ROBLOX has strayed the community and the platform in general, and grew into a typical evil mega-corporation, caring about profits and public image over safety and quality. I genuinely hope ROBLOX gets a massive inside overhaul, and get David kicked out of the company.

It's unfortunate how it seems to be common practice for these CEO's to prioritize profits over safety. David Baszucki is truly out of his mind for this whole situation, how on earth did he expect this to go well?

I wish we could get the Rockefeller era of billionaires back, no more of these CEO's making massive profits at our expense without giving us anything in return :(
