He claims that by using anti-OD'er scripts, people will just leave his game and go to other roleplay games to online date. His philosophy is that they almost never end up stopping them because they can be easily bypassed. Personally, I was there to see his game receiving a lot of downvotes and a sudden decline in popularity once he implemented the "anti-ODer" script.

A convincing anti-OD'er script would be very useful, I don't know if one has been developed though. Though for it to be "useful", considerations would have to be provided in terms of putting it in a popular game environment and determining its effectiveness. Stuff like this involves a lot of great psychology, not just good scripting. LOL Angry ODers which disliked. They're little kids,teens and in some cases young adults. I am a kid, but I am smart enough to understand ROBLOX rules. Yeah, I'd say most of them were OD'ers as well.

From my observations, most OD'ers play roleplay games that are in the "Town and City" genre. I'd assume that the effectiveness of said anti-OD'er script on the ratings of a certain game would be highly dependent on the type of game that it is implemented in. For example:  if it is being added into a popular town/city/school roleplay game, it'll most likely receive a lot of downvotes. If it is added into a game that isn't a roleplay game (or a roleplay game that doesn't fall under the town/city/school genre),  it'll most likely barely receive any downvotes at all due to the public reception being light when it comes to a certain audience not suited for dating/ or social hangouts.

That's just my own theory. Also, I don't think that all roleplay games with the town/city genre with an anti-OD'er script would receive a lot of downvotes. It doesn't just depend on the audience. It may also be dependent on other certain integral variables such as the audiences attraction to the game/ or the audiences attraction to the creator that may cause them to avoid disliking the game regardless of the anti-OD'er script. And some OD'ers, I'd assume, wouldn't even care about it and move on without absorbing the full reasonism as to why it was implemented. If I was a developer with a popular Roleplay game I definetly would put Anti-ODer scripts regardless of how many ODer's will downvote the game.

Also Majority of ODer's are 6-16 (I once saw 2 OD'ers make youtube videos One of the OD'ers was a 16 year old teenager with acne and lonely. The second ODer was a 9 year old girl who started ODing to make herself look "Cool")

Overall we need Anti-ODer scripts. Although many Roleplay games will lose a portion of their Players its worth it to stop Roblox from turning into a ODing game.
