Spam

Spam is a message posted in media centers that have no type of purpose whatsoever. Spam is frowned upon by the majority of ROBLOX users.

Origin
The first spam was launched in 2008, unknown date. And an unknown user, yet people try to copy the spam.

OD Convince Spam
The player trys to make people Online Date.

Cursing Spam
The player simply swears to other players in a place by using alternative typing for bad words.

Leaving and Returning Spam
One must spam, then quit, then come back, and repeat.

Same Spam
This spam is the main kind of spam. The spammer will say a random word like Baseball or Body. and then they say it over and over again until they leave the game.

Copy-and-Paste Chain Spam
This one is one of the fastest spreading types of spam. This type of spam claims that if you copy and paste it into the comments of other items, you will get Robux, BC, or other benefits. Here is a current example:

OMG TELAMON TOLD ME A GLITCH THAT ACCUALLY WORKS AND IS NOT, I REPEAT IS NOT A SPAM -- POST THIS ON 8 HATS AND YOU GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "YOU WIN" OPEN IT AND GET UNLIMITED RB AND LIFETIME OBC!!!! This is true!!!

These spam messages will usually claim not to be spam in order to get people to copy and paste it. At one point, MrDoomBringer created a forum post advising people about this kind of spam in an attempt to dispel the hoax. However, the post was never stickied and was quickly lost somewhere in the forum.

Advertising Spam
This spam is a spam used to advertise the posters place, group, T-shirt, etc. without buying an official ad. This spam is commonly found on the top items on the Featured Page, due to the fact that Robloxians visit those items the most. An example of an ad for a T-shirt:

http://www.roblox.com/Admin-for-Survive-The-Disasters-90-furry-no-bc-item?id= 52060539 furry is letting me sell even look at my ad its admin commands go buy quick so cheap

Riot Spam
This type of spam is often used by NBCers to protest things that BCers get (for this example, Packages).

WE WANT BODIES FOR NON-BC MEMBERS! COPY AND PASTE TO START A RIOT!

How to keep a noob busy spam
It starts with "This is how cat" and other letters alike to create a message with the third word that spells "how to keep a noob busy for (seconds). This spams up people pages.

Kiss Spam
This type of spam is commonly posted by teenagers. The spam states:

'''Are you a good kisser? Test yourself!''' Post this many times holding your breath. 0-1 Horrible kisser 2-3 Ok kisser 4-5 Great kisser 6-7 Amazing kisser

They only post it one time. But later other one copy and paste it. Sometimes it says because he or she was bored. In fact that this is the only spam post that is most reported, due to the fact that this spam could actually kill someone.

Threat Spam
Other common spam. This spam is an attempt to try to scare the player into think they will die or be cursed if he or she does not copy and paste the message. It says:

'''Once you read this there is no coming back... a girl died in 1994 and found''' her dead in 2000 if you dont put this on 10 hats she will appear in your room at night beware!!

Too many users fall in this trick and start to copy and paste it.

Robux Survey Spam
This is a scam. It tricks the player into going to a fake survey and giving his or her password to the site. The poster usually takes the password and goes onto your account, the spammers who spam this are almost always banned. A common example: TAKE THIS SURVEY AND IT GIVES U 3K! TAKE OUT THE 6'S BC ONLY r6ob6lo6x6ian6s6u6rv6ey.w6e6ebl6y.co6m6

Random Spam
Typing random things, such as "dsfkre34", "23frhe", "sworsworsworsworsworsworsworsworsworsworsworswor" etc., is considered spam. It spams up chat and commentary.

Bob Spam
This is a rarer type of spam. It asks the player to copy and paste a stick figure called "Bob" to help him conquer ROBLOX or stop spam. The spam states:  ☻/ This is Bob. /▌ Bob likes you / \ Bob likes sharp things. I suggest you run from Bob. But copy paste first. Then run. This is minimum as almost nobody does this.

Flash Spam
This spam is the rarest spam (along with Jeff or Bob spams) First the player posts a blank hole in the comments, Then after a while they write FLASH FLASH FLASH. Here is an example:

FLASH FLASH FLASH FLASH FLASH

Word spam
A player writes a word starting on line one with one letter of the word. Then he or she write two letters of the word on line two, and so on. Example: t th                                               thi this this g this ga this gam this game this game i this game is this game is e this game is ep this game is epi this game is epic

A variation of this is the "Word Pyramid".

t                                               th                                               thi this this g this ga this gam this game this game i this game is this game is e this game is ep this game is epi this game is epic this game is epi this game is ep this game is e this game is this game i this game this gam this ga this g this thi th t

Spam Clean
This type of spam attempts to clear other spam from the comments by using multiple newline characters. Instead of achieving its intended goal, it left a big white ``hole´´ in the comments.

Continuous Spam
A spam that will keep going. An example is when someone first says "This games sucks". Then the next post from the same person says the same thing. This keeps going for a while. Example of a spammer spamming his enemies' group: Posted 39 seconds ago by [Spammer] TradeCurrency Nation FTW Posted 43 seconds ago by [Spammer] TradeCurrency Nation FTW Posted 46 seconds ago by [Spammer] TradeCurrency Nation FTW

Chain Letter Spam
The Chain Letter started on Monday, June 19, 2010. This little prank originated from an email prank where the user was to forward a message to how many people it said to or face so and so many years of bad luck. The prankster hasn't been identified yet. However, it did sent shivers down many members spines. The only reason this was a problem was because younger kids play Roblox, so many users were actually scared of the threats, and passed on the letter.

Stupid ____ ____ ____ spam
This type of spam, is posting something about something/someone stupid. Spelling out S.P.A.M. The message is often altered.

The "Account Deletion" Letter
Some time later, a private message chain letter was released, stating that it was an official Roblox message. It claimed that, due to lack of space, un-used accounts were being removed. In order to prevent one's own account from deletion, one was supposed to pass the letter on to five other people to prove they were active. This spread so rapidly that the Roblox admins had to post a banner stating the letter was a hoax. By the end of the week, the letter source had been discovered and removed the person that started this hasn't been found. XiaoXiaoMan also told everybody (via a Youtube video) to ignore the hoax, and cease the act of sending the letter. XiaoXiaoMan did this by pointing out the flaws of the chain letter.

The "ROBUX Giveaway" Message


In the beginning of August, 2011, a new breed of Chain Letters were distributed across the Roblox site. The message claimed that the Admins of Roblox had created the message and sent the message to select players, and to participate in the Giveaway, one would have to send the message to 20 other players, and you would be given 1000 ROBUX per person the message was sent to. There are many reasons why this is a chain letter, which can be easily found in the message itself.

Copy-and-Paste Chain Spam
To find this spam, just look for a part where it says "COPY AND PASTE THIS ON" or "THIS IS NOT SPAM". When reporting it, just say "This message is spam" in the report box. The moderators know what chain spam is and need no real explanation of why it was reported. However, do not leave the report box blank.

Advertising Spam
It is easy to spot this spam. Just look for anything that asks for a visit or buy. Say "This message is advertising the person's place, and holds no content. It is spam." in the report box.

Other Spam
You should know it when you see it. This is unique. Be sure to describe how the message is spam, and be upfront about what is not good about it. Keep your report short and sweet.

Spamming others with messages
Sending continous messages to a player is considered very annoying by the community of ROBLOX.

Jeff Spam
The rarest type of spam. They get very annoying. These types of spams usually have stuff like:
 * Jeff McPwned
 * Jeff McSchneider
 * Jeff McObvious

First Comment Spam
Players will often say things on the comments of places like "First comment!!!!!! W00t!!!!" This can get very annoying and floods the comments.

Advertising Group Spam
Advertising a group is when a person will recruit people through messages or comments without performing the proper way by advertising with tickets. This is considered annoying because the recruiter may ask repeatedly while claiming that someone saw you - or them themselves - doing something impressive allowing to be counted as spam.

Religious Spam
This is a relatively new spam, that states "If you're on God's side, post this on 10 walls. If you're on the devil's side, ignore it. God will do two things for you tonight." This is to scare religious players; which means they will spam the message.

"The Gift is Obvious" Spam
A new kind of Spam that is normally seen on the Comments area of the Hat "Obvious Gift is Obvious." It starts with "Its so obvious what the gift is its....." then the spammer writes down their own idea. One example is: "Gosh guys its so obvious whats inside! Its a Unicorn horn embedded in a oddly-shaped living rainbow colours tree branch that feeds on a thousand flesh!" Sometimes this spam can be serious and sometimes plain silly. Many people think the gift will open into a guitar. It instead opened into a Axe Comedy Prop.

Over Commenting Spam
This spam occurs in which a user comments and then says the same comment several times. Usually users will do this to advertise their group or place, since they may not have enough tickets to buy a user-created advertisement.

Place spam
This spam is where a player says in the comments: COME TO MY PLACE THERE IS A BIG GLITCH!! etc. People who are doing this are trying to trick people into coming to their place to get tickets for said action.

BC Chain Spam
This can start by BC users commenting "I join the BC Chain! :D" or "Im in BC Chain!!!! :3", but it can get easily broken by an NBC player saying "I broke BC Chain! >:D" or any comments like this. Occasionally, Builders Club users may comment "Noob!!! >:O" or a similar comment in response to the chain being broken. Other varieties of the chain spam includes Non-Builders Club chains, TBC chains, and OBC chains.

Selena Gomez Spam
For a various reason, This was the latest spam created, Heres how it goes

"say selena gomez 5 times

Its gone common on one game.
