Online dating

Online daters( also called Internet daters, cyberdaters and ODers) are persons who date other users online. Online dating is a practice that is highly discouraged in various Internet communities, including the ROBLOX community; anyone who does participate in said activity is usually reported to the moderators or made fun of by bystanders witnessing the action. In most cases in ROBLOX, online daters can be found in places where people meet and roleplay like The Iron Cafe. Most online daters in ROBLOX stereotypically wear hair (such as Beautiful Hair for Beautiful People) and body (i.e. Superhero), if they have Builders Club; since daily entrance to ROBLOX will give them Robux, allowing them to buy said items quicker than non-builders club members of ROBLOX. Said items are generally used by online daters to attract other online daters to themselves, because the appearance of the items help make the character seem slightly more attractive. The Shaggy hair style, among others, have been colloquially named "online dater hair" by the community, as said items are the ones more commonly used by NBC online daters to attract other people.

Criticism
Online dating is unwanted by many ROBLOXians and encouraged by very few people, as online dating is often seen as a predatory act, due to it being the act of an Internet predator preying on a young child or teenager. An online dater will often be made fun of when discovered because of their rule-breaking actions of online dating. Online dating also breaks ROBLOX's Terms of Use and should not be performed by any player on the game, as otherwise they will most likely receive a ban for a certain amount of time, usually for a long time.

Jaredvaldez2 and his alternative accounts have been criticized for wearing a body (superhero arms and Robloxian 2.0 torso and legs) and some clothes that make him stereotypically appear as an online dater.

Lose/Lose situation
In Mid 2012, ReeseMcBlox (Image and Forum Moderator) released a Sticky note/Forum post explaining how Online Dating is against the rules, though making fun of Online Daters should be against the rules as well, due to it showing bullying for younger members, also showing bullying to people who were rumored and accused for Online Dating by the places they went to and clothes they wore, threatening reporting. A few days after the message was released, the bullying chain lived on and members continued to humiliate and criticise, as if the message was never posted.

Trivia

 * Some role-play games contain a lot of online daters and some creators receive thousands of messages from many players requesting to ban some online daters in a list. This, however, could take time, so this has caused the creation of "anti-online dating scripts", which ban some online daters from playing in the places.
 * Person299, famous for his admin scripts, has developed a script that kicks a player if they say a certain word twice. This script is now used in the case of anti-swearing and anti-online dating.
