"My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox. That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions," the company's director noted.

I agree with you except for the fact that there's just so much bullshit for kids out there, and parents are so exhausted right now (both are working and working longer). So it'd be nice if there was a system that actually looked out for children and people instead of businesses.

At the end of the day, though, it is still the parents' responsibility. It just sucks that this person can wipe their hands of things and think that sufficient.

Here's the rub. Who's version? Would your universal system protect just against gambling type things? How about sex stuff? Just porn or more? How much more? Should the system block anything related to questions or statements about homosexuality?

How about things that might be against a particular faith?

There's no one set of rules that all parents can agree on as to what their children should or shouldn't have access to. Until then, how can one system do what you're asking?

Exactly!

My parents were fine with me watching most R rated movies at ten...

A LARGE group of religious nut jobs wanted the Harry Potter movies banned... And a non-insignificant group that wanted the Teletubbies banned...
