Free Model

Free models are models saved on the Roblox website that others are free to use in their places. When building, you can access the free models by clicking insert and selecting "Free Models" from the drop down menu on the right. They are quite controversial, and many people are flamed or trolled for using them, as they believe the use of free models indicates a lack of effort on the creator's part because they used another person's work (often without giving credit to said person) instead of creating it by themselves.

As of late 2008, and so forth; certain types of free-models are known to contain "Infection" scripts, which mostly change the name of objects, or mass copy/delete items, thus causing lag. Being that way, people who have been around for awhile tend to stray away from them. "Infection" scripts have been known to mostly inhabit "Anti-Viral" scripts, "Anti-lag" scripts, admin commands, tool givers, and the tools themselves. Sometimes if you added a free model to a place, it may go crazy and say things like "DESTROY ROBLOX", "You're getting haxed.", and "Telamon Rules." These are also called Viruses and have the same function.

Free models have recieved harsh criticism from certain users. Many games which have multiple free models are insulted, as are the creators of these types of games, for example, SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX's Live in a Five Star Resort.
