Hi, everybody! Recently we've been dealing with a sudden spread of some images - two in particular, often via Discord image links, that are of supposed Devforum posts discussing the "removal of R6" and "Roblox switching to 18+ only".

We're going to make this pretty quick and clear:

These are FAKED screenshots!!!

Trolls can easily enough go onto Devforum posts and inspect element the page to make it say anything they want, then screenshot it. These are made particularly to stir up as much rumor and panic as possible, much like the old hacking event rumors and such.

These aren't happening - especially when Roblox themselves have stated they won't be doing them. These are often written nothing like the staff members and, of course, are stuck in image form - which is often proof enough that it's not real. Only ever believe a Devforum announcement if it's via an actual link to the Devforums.

On the wiki:
Do not share these images around or add them to the History of Roblox pages (or anywhere else, for that matter). We will delete comments and revert edits claiming these are factual. Any claims to Devforum posts should always be backed up by an actual Devforum link, otherwise we will treat it as fake...because it is.

Any insistence to keep these on the pages will be considered trolling, which is a blockable offense.

"Free Robux"
In relation, here's the reminder that we do not permit advertisements or claims of free Robux on this wiki. This is because there is NO way to get free Robux!

Sites or services giving you free Robux are scams and viruses made to hijack your account and use it to advertise their service even more. Just visiting one of these sites could be unsafe. Never visit one of these sites, don't log into them, and don't do anything they say. You WILL lose your Roblox account!

Users willingly trying to advertise these sites will be blocked!

What should I do if I see any of these on the wiki?
If you notice a claim to a "deleted" Devforum post, free Robux, or any other misinformative, misleading, or likely fake claim - please revert any edit regarding it and report it to the admins. We would like to remove these posts as soon as possible to minimize the spread of false info and phishing scams.
