Questionable citations[edit]

The sources cited linking several people to child predation and pedophilia are all YouTube videos. This is very concerning to me since it makes it appear that the only sources for these claims are YouTube drama queens and insular roblox commentators. I strongly caution contributors to this article to provide better sources or remove such serious allegations. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 22:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I figured, since some of the creators of such videos are bums themselves. I removed them so it only talks about two cases for now. CDotSkelly (talk) 22:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

No mention of scams?[edit]

Unsure about that since most of these scams can be detected easily with basic common sense about internet safety, so often times at the fault of the victims. Also I cannot seem to find one that costed the company significantly. CDotSkelly (talk) 22:29, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
There's been news coverage of organized scamming targeting children specifically. The scammers like organizing themselves on Discord, tipping and rewarding each other for finding suitable child victims to con and "beam". Here's one larger article. There's also smaller ones in Swedish that mainly mention the large sums, many child victims, and use of Discord. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 23:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
