Burp! Happenings and banter

[Hugums]

I'm sorry but i have the terrible feeling this is some kind of alt. But either way, feel free to drop by my server when i host, I rarely ban and i'm pretty tolerant of newbies.

It's no alt... my son has been playing Roblox for quite some time, but it always slowed down his pc and caused me no end of frustration. I sprung for BL because it seemed to have better production, etc. He just wants to have fun, but I guess we need to ensure that his "fun" isn't impacting others.

Like many said it will take a while for him to get used to the servers and how to act. Everyone ha been banned before when they were newbies, you should probably look into some of the posts on how to act online, if you search in forum you will find some user-generated rules to go by to help out. Here would be some I have learned an many others also know:
1. NEVER ask or admin unless you either personaly know the host or have a good reason
2. Don't use lolchat talk, you are just fortifying their stereotypes
3. Act mature, don't try to stand out or make a scene
4. No random trust or 'friend invites' there are not friends list and trust is best not to e messed with
5. Watch your language, swearing won't solve anything and just encourae them and get you in trouble
6. Don't take things personaly, it's the internet people, they can live in a whole diffrent country an you will never meet
7. Don't be too gulible, if someone threatens to hack you just ignor them, half the people who play this game are under the age of 16 and don't understand hacking or even what a virus is
8. Don't spam, it doesn't matter who you are, when you first join blockland you probably are horrible at building, build on a baseplate and don't use 1x1's
9. Know the server, if it's an RP don't go around guns a blazing without a clue what your doing, follow what others are doing and try to fit in
10. Watch who you mess with, many people are in a horrible mood and nothing good will come in argueing or fighting with them
*As a side note sorry about the spelling an grammar issues, me being an idiot and the fact I'm typing this on an iPod doesn't turn out well

really, there's 5 things your son needs to know outright

1: shooting people outside minigames is never a good idea
2: asking for trust from complete strangers is poor manners
3: keep the swear filter on. we don't, but we're 14+
4: building with bricks that aren't tiny or inefficient will usually keep you from getting banned
5: if someone tells you to do something, press f2 and see if they're in a position of power before you accidentally do something stupid: if there's an S or an A by their name, it means they're a super admin or admin respectively and have actual power over what goes on within the server

and another tip: don't say anything. especially at your son's age (i'm guessing... 6?), he'll probably be repeating silly things he's heard from outside sources and expecting everyone else to giggle, like "farts" or something. if you do it right, we will, but we're kinda more mature then that and saying that kind of thing will just get you banned

on another note, ROBLOX? hiss

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Hope your son has a fun time.

Hi-- I recently picked this game up for my son, and he's having some difficulty. Most of the games that he tries to join find him quickly banned. He's not doing anything wrong, that I can tell. In one instance, he asked the people that were there if he could have their trust, and they banned him instead. What's going on? How can he best find folks to play with?

There is a few reasons for this.

Just sending a request randomly could interupt important tasks.
There have been times when someone accepts a request, the person would then break their stuff.

Hopefully he overcomes the newb stage of the game and gets better because of it, beside, for most people it's getting over that vital stage that they decide if they really like the game or it just wasn't the game for them.

You may see a lot of people using vulgar language excessively. You may think that they are 17 or something since they are using it but they are really 10. They spew out a new word they learn to try to impress everyone.

This definitely happens a lot. I highly recommend turning on the word filter for your son.

He may have been banned for randomly asking for trust to admins. Build trust allows you to build on someone's bricks, and full trust allows you to build on, paint and DESTROY others bricks. Generally, most of the time, whenever someone repeatedly asks for trust, it's generally for the wrong reason in order to change or even in some cases destroy their build.

Try joining a DM. You don't need trust there.

This.

Ok, he'd like people to check out his server, too, Burp Fight.

It appears to have a password that is blocking people from joining. You will have to reset the server and un password it to allow people in, or download return to blockland which will allows you to block words using the E tard filter, set passwords, and do more.
