Board Thread:ROBLOX help and discussion/@comment-4196050-20171205011806

Hi, everyone! Roblox has announced in the Dev Forums that the Roblox forums will be closed immediately as a read-only site until December 11 and permanently closed afterwards. We are expecting that a lot of new people will join the wiki due to this, so this is a general announcement and reminder to both new and current editors.

Please remember that none of us on the Roblox Wikia are Roblox administrators. We understand that many of you are frustrated and upset about Roblox closing down the forums, but we cannot do anything to bring the forums back. Likewise, we cannot give you free Robux, activate expired promotional codes, or reverse your ban. If you need to contact ROBLOX, please contact them at info@roblox.com.

For those new to the Roblox Wikia, welcome! Before you start editing, please take a look at some of our wiki policies and this thread addressing some new rules we are implementing because of the large number of new editors we are expecting due to this update. Please note that we are a wiki geared for viewers that are children under the age of 13 (note: all registered users of Wikia must be over 13). Because of this, certain features common on other wikias, such as anonymous editing, have been disabled. We also have a filter in place that prevents you from making edits that contain certain inappropriate words. If you receive an error message when making an edit, please contact The JoTS, as he is the main admin who does our wiki filters. Remember that children read this wiki. When in doubt, a good question to ask yourself before making an edit or posting on our forums is to see whether you would be embarrassed or in trouble if your parents or school teacher saw what you are posting.

Lastly, we have been experiencing more instances of vandalism from newer editors. Because we anticipate more people (some of whom joining the wiki for the sole purpose of trolling), we are planning to be harsher on bad faith editing and vandalism (vandalism is stuff like blanking a page and replacing it with "acebatonfan eats boogers!" and other stuff meant to make a page worse in quality). Users identified as being troll accounts may have their accounts blocked for extended periods of time. If you notice anyone vandalizing on the wiki, please contact an administrator so that the vandal can be blocked. You can undo a vandal's edit by pressing the "undo" button next to their edit on the page's history screen. Remember that posting on the vandal's message wall is discouraged, as that gives them the attention that they want to see. The best thing to do is to revert, notify an admin, and ignore.

As we have recently implemented new changes regarding how we're structuring games on the wikia, please remember that users are no longer allowed to post their own game threads on the Off Topic board and can instead participate in our Wiki Game of the Week.

Thank you for your cooperation during this time! This is a challenging time for many of us, but we hope that this gives us opportunities to grow our wiki community.
