zlib is a user who has served as a former web intern for Roblox, as well as a current moderator for Trade Hangout and a well-known figure on the (now defunct) Let's Make a Deal subforum. Nowadays, most users recognize him due to the fact that he is almost always able to purchase the first copy of new limited unique items as they are released.
‘#1 serials’ controversy
Due to the aforementioned information, many users have assumed that he uses bots to purchase limited unique items, and zlib has received negative attention as a result.
However, zlib replied to a thread on the Roblox News & Discussion subforum in 2017 which was calling him out for grabbing almost every #1 serial before anyone else and explained his method. In this post, zlib claimed that all of the botting accusations towards him are false and that he instead has a private notifier (coded by himself) which is much faster than all publicly available notifiers for new items in the Catalog.[1] He also mentioned that the information and links to new items were output from the private notifier to a Discord server that only he and his close friends have access to, and concluded the post by challenging other users who wanted #1 serials to make their own notifier and try to beat him if they were so concerned about this issue.
