Like many platforms whose audiences are primarily made up of children, Roblox has pretty strict Terms of Service that are meant to protect those under the age of 17, and especially those under the age of 13. As part of these terms, certain words are blocked (or tagged) from being said on the platform, both in experiences and in direct messages, which has led players to use their creativity to bypass these tags and create their own hidden slang.
Why can't I say Discord on Roblox?
For those unfamiliar, Discord is a social media platform that connects people through similar interests, such as video games, YouTubers, movies, TV shows, books, etc., and allows them to chat about these interests in groups or one on one. Discord has both chatting and calling capabilities, and is used by almost 200 million users every month, as stated by Influencer Marketing Hub.
So, you may be wondering, why is Discord blocked on Roblox? Well, unfortunately, the answer to this question is rather dark. It would be remiss of me not to highlight the numerous instances that have occurred, specifically within the Roblox community, that involved an adult connecting with a child through Roblox, and then chatting with said child and creating inappropriate relations with them through Discord.
Over the last several years, there have been numerous cases in which this has happened with Roblox creators as the perpetrators, most notably with: Mah_Bucket, Ribs, Notive, MisterObvious, Konekokitten, Fave, and Kelogish, though there have been many more.
In an attempt to prevent this trend from continuing, Roblox has banned the word Discord from its chatting feature. Discord accounts can still be connected to experiences and profiles, but the ability to talk about Discord has been removed.
