Raid

Raids are the action of when a very large group of people spam messages that flood the server or group wall. Raids are very common nowadays, and are typically frowned upon by the majority of the community, who claim that it "ruins the experience".

Forum Raids
Forum Raids were a type of raid that happened when the forums were still around. They were one of the reasons that the forum was closed. Forum raids essentially had REALLY large groups of people making threads about one topic, sometimes even spamming other threads to get the message too. Users who did this often got an account deletion, or if the user continues to spam the forum, an IP Ban. Forum Raids would sometimes get so out of hand, that Roblox itself would have to shut down just to maintain control. An example of this is the Quackityishot Forum Raid Incident.

Some people have noted that their accounts got stolen just to spam a phrase on the threads and use the account as a puppet account. This further increased the hate for forum raids.

In December of 2017, the forums were closed. Due to this, forum raids can no longer be performed, which caused some backlash from small parts of the community.

Costume Raids
Costume Raids are a type of raid where a large group of people, dressed as the same thing, join a server and basically flood the chat with one phrase. This type of raid is very annoying and can sometimes lead to a server shutdown. This type of raid is mostly performed by raid groups and famous youtubers, and the target for these types of raids are almost always Cafes. Due to this, some Cafes have scripted an account age limit to join a game.

Group Wall Raids
These types of raids were mostly as a substitute to the forum raids. Most of the things that happened in this type of raid mostly originated from Forum Raids, and recieved similiar reactions. Due to multiple scambots spamming "GET FREE ROBUX GO TO (SCAMSITE)" on the group walls, this type of raid is rarely even used anymore. The only difference between these and Forum Raids were that moderators weren't patrolling the groups for spam and were mostly inactive, so players could say anything only if it didn't turn into hashtags, this served as a green light for scammers and hackers.
