Online dating

Online daters (also called internet daters, cyberdaters and OD'ers) are people who perform the act of having an obscene/sexual talk toward one another. Online dating is viewed as offensive and annoying by some users.

Online dating is a practice that is highly discouraged in various Internet communities, including the ROBLOX community. Anyone who does participate in said activity is usually reported to the moderators or trolled by bystanders witnessing them. Online dating doesn't necessarily mean a relationship between two users, but rather can be defined as using sexual references to one another, flirting or using asterisks to talk in "actions" related to dating, but some times there can be ODing relationships, which no Non-ODer likes.

Roleplayers and Online Daters
Roleplayers and Online Daters are very commonly mixed up by ROBLOXians, the truth is role players go to role play places while Online Daters do it anywhere and often have sexual talk/roleplay and list each other on each other's profiles as boy/girl friend (Roleplayers talk about Boy/Girlfriend stuff all the time, but this is not online dating, as it is not real, it is roleplay). Though, it can still be considered an offense, but it can violate a countries laws on Interactions with Children on the internet.

Some players are not online daters, despite the fact that they coincidentally dress like stereotypical ROBLOXian online daters. An easy method to see if users are online dating is to analyze the content of their messages. Many online daters flirt with one another and say sexual innuendos, which allow them to be easily identified as online daters by other users. This can result in them being reported to ROBLOX moderators, and possibly banned.

Criticism
Online dating is unwanted by many ROBLOXians and encouraged by very few people, as online dating is often seen as a predatory act, due to it being the act of a potential Internet predator preying on a young child or teenager. An online dater will often be made fun of when discovered because of their rule-breaking actions by online dating. Online dating also breaks ROBLOX's Terms of Use and should not be performed by any player on the game, as otherwise, they will most likely receive a ban for a certain amount of time.

Trivia

 * Many role-play games contain a lot of online daters, and some creators receive thousands of messages from many players requesting to ban certain online daters. This, however, could take time; this has caused the creation of "anti-online dating scripts", which ban, kick, or punish some online daters from playing in the places when they said a certain word.
 * Person299, famous for his admin scripts, has developed a script that kicks a player if they say a certain word twice. This script is now used in the case of anti-swearing and anti-online dating.
 * Some players will both report the OD'er, And Laugh at them
