So, we all know about the filter that blocks ROBLOX links because of the ambassador program.
You cannot post links to Roblox here
Roblox has a program that rewards users with in game currency for spamming their url on other websites.
This has left us no choice but to block all links to Roblox.
Well...
Two years ago, ROBLOX started the Ambassador Program, which was designed to encourage players to spread the word about ROBLOX. In the program, users would take HTML code (specific to that player), and then post those links on other active websites. Users were rewarded with 2 tix per day per active link. We believed we could get users involved with promoting our game.
After two years of experimenting, we have realized that the program is not as valuable as players who come to us through word of mouth or through social media. The Ambassador Program became spammy, which we realized was not a benefit to our players or other websites. We have looked at the numbers, and we simply don’t have enough users to justify continuing the program. Part of being a healthy company and an elegant service is removing things rather than adding them.
ROBLOX’s core values focus on the creativity of players and the building of games. So we have decided to shut the program down.
ROBLOX itself has not changed a bit. Users continue to create more games (5.4 million in 2011), and we have a pile of exciting developments in the pipeline (many of which we will demo at the ROBLOX Game Conference in July).

The ambassador program was removed quite a while ago, and as well as that since links to ROBLOX were banned only people with keys are able to post on the forum, so it's no longer a threat.
Note: Don't cry "LOL HURR ROBLOX SUKZ KEEP DEIR LINK BAND!!!!! HURR HURR HURR", the only reason the links got banned was because they had a program where you got ingame money for posting ROBLOX links on other sites, but it's gone now.
