El Online Dating (commonly abbreviated as ODing ') on Roblox and the internet is the act of having romantic or lewd discussions within an online community, in this case within the game. People who date online are known as "online daters" (commonly abbreviated as ODers). Online dating is strongly discouraged by various Internet communities, including ROBLOX. Online dating is against the Roblox Rules of Conduct, and anyone who engages in such activities runs the risk of getting banned.
Throughout the development of Roblox, multiple stereotypes have been formed regarding online daters. Players often stereotype online daters as avatars whose characters dress as realistically as possible; Many of the Roblox items, including bundles and hats, are stereotyped as "ODer items" and players using these items are often prematurely identified as online daters.
On Roblox, online dating is generally restricted to life simulation RPGs. It is fairly harmless when participating players use innocuous language, but problems can arise if this progresses to inappropriate or sexual conversations (especially since the vast majority of players are under the age of 18).
In some cases, personal information may also be exchanged. The Roblox chat filter is designed to avoid this by censoring most of the information sharing methods that can be used to identify yourself. However, online daters can try to find ways around this by altering their words or requesting that the other party contact them through an external website, such as Discord.
Review
Online dating is a problem on Roblox. It is unwanted by many Robloxians and encouraged by very few people. Aside from not fitting in with ROBLOX's kid-friendly nature, there is also a risk associated with online relationships; online dating is often seen as a predatory act and, in extreme and "rare" cases, can lead to outside interventions. The word "ODer" also leaks into Roblox, which limits how players can call people who online.
Games cheering online dating
Example of a game used by online daters.
Although the Roblox Rules of Conduct prohibit builders from creating games designed for players to get together romantically, there are some loopholes to this rule; Although a game may not be intended to be used romantically, the nature of the game may promote online dating. Such examples of common online dating hotspots include role playing games, girls only games, and middle and high school games. Themed venues after clubs are also prone to online daters and gamers who wish to engage in lewd acts or somehow lewd in the game. Games that could hint at online dating potential, game creators can often leave game names and descriptions vague to satisfy ROBLOX game creation policies. For example, naming a place "Create a Family" could imply that some sexual acts could be performed in the game as a way to produce a child. This violates Roblox's place creation policies. Naming a game Adopt a Baby would not involve any lewd content within the game and would be a permitted game. This allows certain games to be featured on the cover without being removed by mature content, even if players use that game online.
Due to the problems with online dating within Roblox games, anti-online dating scripts have been created by game creators and scripters who reprimand users who post specific forbidden words. One such user Person299, a user famous for his admin scripts, has developed a script that kicks a player if they say a certain word twice.
YouTube and anti-ODing
Many popular Roblox youtubers try to interrupt ODers with the aim of trolling them with methods such as using admin commands or exploits and with the aim of causing drama among them by intentionally initiating discussions or by being irritating, but not all the time. For certain youtubers like mrflimflam or greenlegocats123 in the English community, these videos also serve as one of their main content types. Others, like KonekoKitten, do not condone online dating, but also discourage trolling, believing it only makes ODers want to continue out of fury.
Please note: Never share your personal information on Roblox, such as your real name, address, age, etc. Since you never know who may be on the other side of the screen. For more info, go here
