Misleading place images

Misleading place images are images placed on a game that are intended to lure players in, but actually have nothing to do with the game itself. Misleading place images are used to attract the players' attentions and trick them into coming to the place creators' games. This method of advertising for the game is frowned upon by the ROBLOX community; this is the most used scheme for advertising a game ever in ROBLOX.

Controversy
Many place creators are criticized for using misleading images to lure users into their games. One such user is Jaredvaldez4, who will also change the title of his places as well as their thumbnails to mislead users into visiting his places. Another example of a game that uses misleading place images is Adrian928's "Defend Telamon", which he changes the thumbnail into surfing-related games, as well as the name. Many players despise this act and comment in disgust on the game about it, whenever possible. Another infamous user who misleads users is Pieperson50. Pieperson50 is highly notorious for misleading users by changing the game name and title to anything that is rarely related to the actual game itself for false advertising that would help attract many users (Notice that the badges are not changed with the theme). Another infamous user that uses misleading pictures for their places is rebreb97. Rebreb97 uses images from Google as his picture in order to attempt to attract players to play his game.

Detection of Misleading Places
You can spot if a place has a misleading title without having to go into the game. Some ways of this are:
 * If the place has a title like 'Jump off a Roof and Die Tycoon!' and it has an image that doesn't actually preview the game, it is misleading.
 * Most of the time, if the place has an image relating to Minecraft, a popular online sandbox building game, it is misleading.
 * If the description of the place does not describe the game, but only has links to VIP Shirts and the like, it is most likely misleading.
 * If the place has several images all unrelated to the title, it is misleading.
 * If the dislikes are high compared to the likes, it tends to be misleading.
 * If the game doesn't have comment section it is misleading. if it has a comment section, read some of them. If the game is selling gamepasses, check the comments section of the gamepasses. These are usually not disabled.
 * If the game has irrevelant tags in the discription, it is most likely misleading.

Fall Of Misleading Places
On June 18th, 2013, the Rating System was implemented to games, allowing players to rate places with a like (thumbs up) or a dislike (thumbs down) to show how well the place is created after playing the game. Players typically avoid games where a vast majority of the ratings are negative. Because of this, many, but not all, misleading places were thrown off the front page, marking the start of their downfall.nPieperson50's most visited gameslot currently has 1,221 thumbs down in comparison to its 1,131 thumbs up.
