Let's say you want to talk about puppies. If you search for 'puppies' I'll bet you'll get a ton of threads to chat in. You can post in those instead of making yet another Puppies thread but be sure to check the date, if the thread you are about to post on's date doesn't match the current date in any way, do not post on it. You could get banned for that. | |||
This is really useful in the Help section. Odds are good that someone had the same question or problem that you did, and their question was answered. Do a search for your question and the answer may show up a lot faster! | This is really useful in the Help section.

Archived Page This article has outdated information. It is now archived, only kept for historical purposes. Generally, outdated articles write about how to use or interact with the Roblox website. The services and features as written at the time have been changed or removed by Roblox Corporation. External links may be substituted with a Wayback Machine or Roblox Forum Archive link. |
The Forum is the place to go to chat with your friends about anything related to Roblox and more! A place to discuss building ideas, group activities and anything else that comes to mind.
The Rules
The Forum Moderators try to keep things in line, but it's best if you use the forum with some common sense. Think of talking on the forum like being in school. All the rules of Roblox still apply, and you're there to talk to other people. Not to spam or be mean to each other, just to talk.
Also, if something is going down or a new rule has been introduced a moderator will pin a post to let you know about it. What this means is that their post is stuck to the top of the forum and doesn't go down like regular posts. Pinned posts tend to stay there for a few weeks, so it's probably a good idea to read it.
The current and complete rules are right here. Read 'em at least once.
The rules aren't very complex though. As long as you aren't mean and you have a point to talk about you'll be fine and the moderators will like you =D That said, a great way to make enemies is to constantly annoy the moderators or make them mad. The less they like you the less likely they are to let you make posts. So follow the rules and treat the forums well, and everyone will get along.
Remember that the Moderators are always right. Whatever they tell you to do overrides what the Rules say. The Moderators are all experienced adults who know how to keep you safe on the Forums.
