I kinda took part in some of the complaining. I was the one who added the Jailbreak example to It's Hard, So It Sucks! since Jailbreak is a prime example of "Stop Having Fun" Guys, with cops frequently arresting or shooting (and sometimes arresting and THEN shooting) any player who plays the role of a criminal. I was probably overreacting there; I have a bit of a temper when it comes to PVP games.
Oh, don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with your entry. My concern is that stuff like that is often the only times where specific users and their creations get mentioned, which might not be kosher and makes me wonder if we should just cut the entries to make the YMMV page only about Roblox-wide stuff as opposed to individual parts. And then there's the Overshadowed by Controversy thing that might not apply to small parts of a big, non-controversial gaming platform. Like does a controversial game being sold on a console make the console Overshadowed by Controversy? Probably not, so I'm wondering about how we should tackle it for Roblox's page.
<(0_0<) <(0_0)> (>0_0)> KIRBY DANCEI feel like Roblox's pages in general are just a huge mess. From the main page alone, I can find ZCEs of the "one user did this with no real proof of existence" variety, Weblinks Are Not Examples, and troping users, which I'm fairly certain is not allowed. Also, it contains a link to an illicit website whose functions are in violation of Roblox's TOS.
The other moments pages also really lean hard into the "are meta examples valid" confusion and generally feel off for reasons I can't put my finger on right now.
"If you spent as much time fightin' as ye did hidin', maybe this wouldn't have happened!"So the Roblox pages in general need some massive polishing, huh? Ok so I'm guessing that we can cut any YMMV stuff about specific users (meaning the MrObvious Overshadowed by Controversy entry has to go), but what about the stuff for games like some of the entries for It's Hard, So It Sucks! and Overshadowed by Controversy? Should those go too?
<(0_0<) <(0_0)> (>0_0)> KIRBY DANCEOn Creator pages, content can go on YMMV if they don't themselves have a work page. But Roblox isn't exactly a creator, but a platform, so it has little to do with the games made on it. I've not encountered a case like Roblox, but I guess the games would go on (in the above example) It's Hard, So It Sucks! in the appropriate folder but not on Roblox's YMMV.
YMMV.Roblox has several entries that aren't about Roblox as a whole, but rather individual user creations or the users themselves. Now Roblox is pretty much a gaming platform in its current evolved state and only a few of the created games have individual pages, so I assume that the YMMV page is considered the best place to put reactions to individual stuff without a page... except a lot are placed in rather unflattering tropes like It's Hard, So It Sucks! and Overshadowed by Controversy with these often being the only places where those games or users are discussed on the page (i.e. Rogue Lineage is only discussed in It's Hard, So It Sucks! while Jailbreak at least gets two other mentions elsewhere that don't feel like people trying to complain). The Overshadowed by Controversy entries in particular feel kind of dubious to me because I'm unsure about if certain things being overshadowed in a gaming platform that is remembered for far more than any controversies is valid or not (and while the Ready Player One event was an official game-wide thing rather than a user creation, its entry feels a little questionable too since everyone forgot about it like a month later and r0cu isn't dead since his last Twitter post was 15 hours before this post). I've been doing edits on Roblox's YMMV page for a while now to add audience reactions (often not my own, but rather the views of others) about game-wide things and to change some stuff that felt like blatant complaining, but I don't know what to do here because most of the views are valid and would be fine on pages devoted to them, but they might not belong on a page covering an entire gaming platform as opposed to individual games. What do you guys think?
