#Children shouldn’t be staff for stuff that involves real life adult money.

Disputes involving real money can easily be handled by minors.
What's the difference between an 18/19 year old handling a transaction dispute and a 15 or 16 year old?
Exactly - nothing. As long as a potential candidate is thoroughly vetted and assessed on personality, either party can handle transaction disputes just fine so long as money never flows through the transaction arbiter.
Because a 15 year old is a freshman in high school
Who has 0 concept on how money is and how it’s obtained in the real world
Same with a 16 year old
How is a 15 year old gonna decide if my money goes to someone but not know how hard it is to earn money in real life
Exactly. Anyone around the age of 13 has experienced how money works, easily knows how to use money.
The value of money may be disputed from person to person and currency to currency, but at the end of the day; a transaction arbiter's only job is ensuring that a worker is paid and the client gets the item they paid for.
Kids are to busy in school clearly as well
And I stand by my claim
A child who is 15 has 0 understanding how money works
Not necessarily. Most people at around 14 or 15 will have a side hustle to earn money. How else are they funding their daily dose of chips? Not parent's money unless parents aren't teaching their kids the value of money and making their kids work for it.
Definitely parents money 💀
This is a flawed statement. Can you back this up with research?
Parents aren’t teaching their kids the value of money
Are you a teenager
By chance
I’d rather discuss this with someone who is actually an adult
I'm 21 and I've known the value of money since 13-ish when I got my first job.
I don’t believe u
Can u dispute my claim with research
You don't have to believe me.
Not even a retail store lets 16 year olds handle money
I stand with altera’s statements, as a 14 year old, I have plenty of experience with money, having worked plenty of jobs and making thousands of dollar in the span of months as a 3D modeler
You’re 14 so I can’t argue with you on this
You’re inherently bias
Nor do you understand where I’m coming from
Ok, and? A 14/15/16 year old is allowed to work in a retail store to earn money. By spending that money, the child learns the value of the money.
Would you say the staff that handles money does that?
Though, what is this thread even about? What part of staff has any correlation with money?
This is your suggestion. The ball is in your court to come up with research supporting that the average 14/15 year old doesn't know the value of money.
We can have research. Go ask the staff that handles money that’s 15,16 if they work a real life job
I guarantee over half don’t
That's my point. Transaction arbiters don't touch the money in any way. Their sole job is making sure that the transaction is fulfilled on both sides.
Scam investigators
And you think that you or your client will have to send them money in the event of some kind of transaction dispute? Hell no. That's not happening.
No my money is being held hostage
By?
And a child told me “why don’t you just keep what they made?” There’s a whole dispute with clear evidence and this kid says “why don’t you just keep what eh made” said he’d review it and never did
How do they get involved with real life money?
They just settle the argument in case of a scam
Because it involves real life money why are u asking this
Ok, well, that's not the transaction arbiter's responsibility.
Their responsibility would be to make sure the animator sends you what you paid for, or ban the animator if they don't.
No that’s the scam investigators responsibility to get my money back
That is not, in any way, their responsibility.
They don't claim the money to themselves or anything
Clearly this kid is not capable to their commitments
Ok you’re not understanding what I’m saying so lemme talk to the adult
Yes it is
They are determining if the “scammer” should return the money or not
The animator didn’t make what I asked and then said he got hijacked and when I opened a dispute all of it came back suddenly
Why are you glorifying yourself for being an adult?
How is this even a dispute the dude ghosted me for weeks
I’m not but a 14 year old can’t understand anything I’m arguing against
How does being a minor not allow me to state some arguments in this thread?
It is not.
From what I've read on here, the only responsibility that transaction arbiters have here is to make sure that a transaction goes through properly.
From your specific case, that means that the transaction arbiter makes sure that you get the animations that you paid for, and that the animator gets the money that the animator is owed.
The transaction arbiter does not hold your money themselves. The transaction arbiter can not, and will not refund you. Even if the animator is banned for scamming you.
You just got out of middle school
Does that make me unintelligent?
I wouldn’t call you dumb but I’d say you have only just completed middle school so
Take that as you will
A transaction that involves.. money?
Yes, and? The transaction arbiter only enforces the terms of the transaction without getting involved financially. The transaction arbiter is a third party to the transaction.
I doubt school is related to this whatsoever. Where i'm from theres absolutely no economic studies, so school shouldn't be engaged in this conversation, or my age, I have a good understanding of how money works, especially around this server
Ok but this isn’t about middle man
Ok and I disagree with that but I’m not gonna argue with a 14 year old kid
Transaction arbiters are third parties whether as a transaction arbiter or as a middleman.
Either way, neither hold your funds and neither can make the animator refund you. Only the payment processor that you used can. So if you want to force a refund from the animator, then contact your payment processor.
When I was 14 I said I could take Conor mcgregor ina. Fight because I did mma
No scam investigator
I want my money back and this guy told me “why u not just take what he gave you”
PayPal will shut this guys account down and I don’t really want that to happen. He’s a real dev but again he ghosted me made up a BS story and never gave me anything because he ghosted me I moved on and he only cared til I made a PayPal dispute
Scam investigator (a child) says “why don’t you just take what he made you??”
You can only get your money back by forcing a refund from the animator by contacting the payment processor. A "scam investigator" can not force a refund. If the animator does not want to refund you, your only option is to contact the payment processor.
That being said, you were supposedly given what you paid for. That means that you aren't entitled to a refund anymore unless what you received significantly differs from what you asked for.
No I wasn’t given anything
I wasn’t given anything
So if the transaction arbiter believes that you received something, but you didn't, then show that to the transaction arbiter to move forward in your report.
If you have a problem against a specific staff member, you can make a Staff Report Ticket by running the /ticket command in #cmds or in Bot DMs
A scam investigator analyzes evidence, not manages money, so their effectiveness isn't limited by age
Please I don’t have time to wait 59 years over roblox drama unless it’s about scam accusations towards me. One staff said I stole $10 from his mom
Age doesn't determine one's ability to investigate scams
That’s the thing is they didn’t even do that
Oh it absolutely does
I wouldn’t call a 14 yr old mature
Or capable of handling any sort of investigation outside their school drama club
My argument. Age doesn't mean anything, personality does.
I would call myself pretty mature, professional wise
So you’d hire a 12 year old
I have been hired since I was 12 years old
Your point?
You’re saying if they’re “mature” enough they should be allowed on the staff
Oh brother that was a joke
They actually do that?
Staff is 15+, and yes, if they're mature, they should be allowed, the application is VERY strict
I'd hire a 12 year old if and only if I assessed him or her positively.
That being said, I have to disclaim that you have to be 13 or over to be on Discord, so I'd ban that person from my server(s).
Oh my goodness 💀
How low would you go
10? 9?
If they’re mature
Or if they’re a really gifted kid)
As long as they posses the skill I'm looking for
You’d hire them?
And a specific level of maturity
I think I'd draw the line at 13 to ensure basic communication skills are actually taught and the person had the chance to develop skills.
Bro stop you’re 14 you are younger than my youngest sister I can’t argue with you on any of this. That guy on the other hand is 21
Ok see there’s a boundary
You just said you’d hire a 9 year old if they possess the skill you want
My boundary would be 17+ on money handling
16 you can argue but anything under hell
No
Yes itnfoes
Go find logic and facts on why you’d hire a 9 year old kid to do your work
Dismissing me based on age instead of addressing some points is just proving you don't have a real counterargument
I asked you to find logic and facts on why you’d hire a 9 year old child
If you can’t do that then don’t respond
Correct, but not an outrageously high boundary such as 18. From 13 on wards, it can be reasonably assumed that one has accumulated enough social skills and maturity to be able to be a transaction arbiter or even take up commissions in this server.
Those who don't (and there are a lot of those too), they will simply be assessed negatively and not be hired. It's a filtering process. I can't justify 18 as a hard requirement because 13 (being quite young) is usually already enough time to develop all these skills.
Well you made a fair argument and I think my pov also makes a fair argument
I went through a situation that shows why I feel the way I do
I stated the requirements above
However NINE years old
A level of maturity and knowledge in a specific field
What about 8 years old
How low does it go for u
It might've been an exaggeration, you're right
But 12 years old is honestly my boundary
You say that now 💀
This is unrelated to your thread though
I don't think that you've made a fair argument.
Your argument just boils down to the fact that "children can't handle money" which is blatantly false.
If you can make a survey with your own staff that discredits me by proving at least over half of them have real life money experience
Then be my guest
However until then I think hardly any of them do
Most of them have jobs, if not IRL, they have a skill of sorts
E.g. scripting, modeling or building
Ok go and find a 13 yr old who can do that
As I mentioned previously, I've made thousands of dollars during my small career
Starting even at 9 years old
Do what?
Modeling?
I've been modeling for wayy longer than since I was 13
Go find 1
I’m saying you’re saying things that aren’t true
Is 3d modeling not a skill?
Just turned 14?
Oh its very true
Yes like 2 months ago
Are you a 2011 baby 💀
Sorry December 31st 2010
It does change it I personally just can’t take u seriously
How can anyone take YOU seriously when all you do is joke around about age and the year I was born

I wasn’t joking
I just gave you plenty of arguments on why minors can handle money
How many of these people consist of your staff?
I've been handling money for 2 years now, having worked with games like Tower of Misery, Cake off and Pls Judge
I don't have to interview my staff about it.
Well sure you do
This is about your staff not the population of a country
Dude
I can make loads of points that contribute to the population
They all have skills
and knowledge in the roblox development field
They didn't get accepted for no reason
You're clearly new and have no clue on how hidden devs works
I'm not going to bother my staff just because of your suggestion.
At least half of the kids population have access to bank accounts and can handle their money mostly independently or supervised.
And biologically kids 12-16 are more immature and reckless than the rest of the population
Your point means nothing
And also biologically, some children are more developed!
Exactly my point
You can’t make a claim based on the population not the group it’s targeted towards
Anyways
Back to adults
And my point is that staff is hand-picked from thousands of applications
They aren't some random kids
You can argue but this isn’t getting anywhere altera
If you can’t prove your staff at least half don’t have an understanding of real money then you can’t make the claim
You just agreed with my point unknowingly
Not letting ANY kids become a transaction arbiter because a lot of kids can't handle money is unfair.
Additionally, transaction arbiters never lay their hands on money when handling transaction disputes.
Therefore, I don't see an issue letting kids handle these disputes so long as they are assessed positively in terms of character and they make judgements based on facts.
@tulip panther, I think we should quit talking to this individual. We've made our points.
You agreeing with a kid more than half your age that said they’d hire a 9 year old says all it needs to say
I agree—age shouldn't be a barrier if the individual is capable, responsible, and makes decisions based on facts. Handling disputes doesn’t involve direct control over money, just logical judgment.
I just said that I wouldn't hire a 9 year old
This is off the topic though
We're talking about staff
Excellent. @hollow mural, I bid you a good day ahead. @tulip panther, I suggest you do the same.
Thank you, you to.
No more 9 year old hires😅
too*
Mr. adult that has a lot of knowledge
But essentially can't see the difference between to and too
You continuing proves you’re immature
14 year olds amirite
can someone tldr
Tl;dr dumb argument that went on to long
judging solely off the suggestion and not the messages since then,
who cares what age staff members are as long as they meet discord’s age req?
Hidden devs is in no way shape or form an authority when it comes to monetary disputes. Sure, we can investigate both sides of a story and ban an offender from this server, but other than that the responsibility of ensuring who/what you send money to is entirely your responsibility and duty.
Most cases presented to us by the community are very cut and dry. More complex and sensitive things are forwarded to senior staff members who typically are older. But again, someone’s inability to properly vet where they are sending their money is their responsibility. The age of HD staff in determining your case has zero bearing
Legit what we said
But SOMEONE just doesn't wanna understand that 💔
Because apparently children don't know anything about money
As if they're even involved in it
.
Ban whoever made this suggestion
Unfortunately, some teenagers know more on money than their own parents.. This all comes down to the actual person, not their age. I'd agree if a staff was 8, but that's just against ToS and clearly didn't happen here
A lot of people who do commissions are between 13-18, would they not know how to handle the money they receive?
If you are such a grown adult, then you should be able handle your own disputes, and shouldn’t be complaining about this in the first place.
Were you yourself not competent at all when you were at this age? If not you’re projecting.
I disagree tbh
Theres some children who make more money than their own parents
Personally im 15 and i like to do ui as a passion and i get commissions to get money, instead of working at some place i dont like
i agree and some parents teach there kids how hard it is to get money and to consept of it from an early age just like my parents do with me
legit brainrot suggestion
Fr
Who else but children are going to be slaves on discord?
You aren't thinking about this fully
True my bad
I rarely make it a point to comment on suggestions but this is related to Scam Investigation so I think my insight would be valuable. The Scam Investigation department is in no shape or form any sort of authority figure over disputes; our staff members merely act as agents to determine if a scam occurred and work hard to make resolutions between both parties as best we can. Not to mention, we don't let just anyone become a Scam Investigator. It is considered to be one of the most rigorous processes in this community and in my opinion it's the most rigorous I've ever seen on my time of discord just to ensure the impartiality that you so seek.
Also, I'm pretty sure we already have an age limit anyways. We don't just allow 13 year olds to join, I believe it's 14-15 year olds as that is the age we believe that you gain a certain maturity level.
Anyways, I think this sums up why this won't be considered and the suggestion should just be closed accordingly. 
damn i’m almost 18 and still unemployed (no one wants me)
I completely disagree, I’ve had a job since I was 15, and now am starting a business myself with some others. Just because a few people don’t know how, does not mean everyone.
This was almost a month ago brah
** Discord’s ToS states users must be at least 13 to use the platform. BBut even if someone is 13 or older, they are legally unable to manage financial disputes or handle transactions. Minors can’t sign binding contracts, meaning they can’t be trusted with financial responsibilities. Having a minor act as an intermediary or arbitrator puts both the user and the server at legal risk.
**Discord’s ToS makes it clear that miners shouldn’t be handling financial matters. It’s a legal issue that can cause real trouble 4 the server if things go wrong.
**
**Minors simply don’t have the legal capacity to handle financial disputes or make decisions involving money. In many places, contracts made by minors can be voided, and they aren’t accountable for their actions in the same way adults are. Even if a minor is responsible, their decisions can be legally questionable, and they can’t be held aaccountable like an adult would.
Argument: A miners lack of legal authority to manage money creates a huge risk for everyone involved. The server is exposed to liability bby allowing minors to be responsible for financial matters**
Miners don’t have the emotional maturity to handle serious disputes involving money. They mmmay make decisions based on personal bias or a lack of experience.
**
Miners are vulnerable to manipulation. Placing them in charge of financial disputes could easily lead to exploitation. They may not have the critical thinking skills or the ability to assess situations objectively, opening the door for others to take advantage of them.
**
it’s unethical and potentially illegal. Miners lack the legal authority, experience, and maturity needed for such important.. roles. This puts both the server and its users in a dangerous position**
Man the staff in this server need to be fired
Lol what are you talking about
"Miners" don't handle any transactions directly
Staff just settles arguments
Lol i mispelled cus autocorrect
I apologize for sharing my opinion.
So this is a whole load of crap. While there is some merit to what you're saying, transaction arbiters don't handle money. Money never touches the hands of a transaction arbiter. All a transaction arbiter has to do is make a decision as to who's right or wrong in a dispute. Then whoever is wrong should face server punishment if they refuse to resolve the situation amicably.
There's no legalises involved - just a decision based on facts as shared by both people involved in a dispute, with a transaction arbiter rendering a final decision. They don't touch money and don't need to be involved with contracts.
This guy is still on this almost a month later
i handle money better than my dad dawg i legit keep him in check
Chicken
Jockey
the movie sucked ass
shut it pixie
no
I disagree, i gotta tell u rn that i know kids who manage money better than their own families
And they go into this server to make money to afford a new pc or smth that they parents definitely wont give
My little sister is 14 and she doesn’t know the first thing about money
because she refuses to know how to make money
money is important later in life, so its good that kids are learning money while they at it, so they cam ues the money they make into college and learn how to manage their own money
0-0 im pretty sure that entire topic is opinionated it all depends. Half know how to manage money half don’t. Lol 😂 this conversation makes 0 sense
some do some dont whats there to discuss
im 15 and im making like 300 a day from my game i think other 15 year olds know how it would work too
along with that i still gotta deal with school so im no exception either
No ur not
hol on
Eh reasonable accussation i got donate game tho thats why
its avging like 100-150 ppl
Yea but ur not averaging 300 bucks a day
Believe me you’d not be here lol that’s nearly 10 grand a month
Yeah but ur not making anything a month lol
also u can search my game
aight
I don’t think u understand ur claims urself
huh
on a donation game it will
Nah
its bc every donation made u get 10 percent
how much u make
Even with 300 ppl a day ur not touching the amount u said
mfs just be envious
No ur just a liar
Aight ill send u ss
I don’t even care abt this post but ur claim was funny
Yeah but ur not 😂
You’re claiming to be making over 100k USD a year off a dead game
Now ur tripping
No I think ur lying so not really
aight believe what u want
Saying 100k is barely above minimum wage proves my point
I don’t think u understand how much a difference is
And that’s also not true
I agree
And their parents wont spoil them
Kids needs to know how to manage and make money
Not just be given to them
still dont rlly undertand flarps argument
U just showed me u hav 0 understanding of real life financiers 😭
huh
You just said minimum wage is nearly 100k a year
Said you make over 100k a year off a dead game
What else
Regardless of the kids maturity you wouldnt have a 12yr old run a bank
Even if they make a grillion dollars
12 yr different story
Sure 13-14
Point is if the brain can get better i want it at its best
Not developing
high school up kids are mature enough
So why work at mcdonalds
When mature enough vs mature could be the difference between keeping and losing money it matters
Imo not age restriction but fs some sort of screening
Half the staff doesnt know how to properly interact in a conversation let alone run a server
And make 100k a year off a dead game 🤯
Its fine to keep them 16-17, just do a screening first
Make sure theyre not incompetent
Do u think 18 year olds will modeerste a server
Yes
nah fr i can gurantee most of this is kids
I was 14 when Covid started I’ll tell u that much 😂
Children shouldnt be used just bc its free labor
I’m in law school
If hiring older means the server has to use some of its money 
if children wanna do it let them
Most people here were toddlers during Covid
also i dont think server is making enough money to hire grown adults
These people don’t remember Walmart 24 hr service
190k members with 17$ server passes?
maybe we dont know about money
Whoever told u that has unfortunately fell for the same trap
If they make no money they dont have any to spend on the server!
This person said their dad makes 1 mil a year and that a gas station worker makes 70k a year
So it stays shit! How convenient!
do u habe any experience with a game?
Yes
🤚
which
Why else would I be here
🤚
That I made alone?
Mine is solo deved too
Nah even that u modeled for
🤚
sure
dont believe u ine bit
I solo deved game 20m visits + will full view of analytics i still back the opinion
If u dont believe me feel free to check description
I believe u not the guy that says he makes 100k a year off a dead game 😂
aight i dont need a grown adults approval argueing with a 15 yo approval
His dad makes 1 million dollars a year
“Argueing”
Covid killed the education system
But notice the direction this conversation went in, it makes you wonder if it wouldve went differently with an adult
Bro is arguing abt typos
😐
Do you make 100k a year off a dead game
😂
u make nothing
sure
Ok that’s all I wanted to know thank you
What age are you exactly complaining about when saying children?
Idc abt this post anymore this guy is just not smart
U arent either
It’s funny to stand here and meme on a kid whose education system was infected by Covid
Okay Mr 100k a year off a dead game
But isn’t it common to have the age minimum to apply as a moderator around 14-16
In most servers 😭
That’s the problem 😂
Would u want a guy who doesn’t understand finances like ebrahim0261 here
Look at chat and give me an honest answer lmao
I wouldn’t personally 😂
In my opinion it just depends on how that user acts if it’s just overall dead beats then you might be in the upper hand 🤷♂️
I rate this servers staff 2/10
2 stands for the 2 adults
There are a couple children who are smarter then adults in other ways if you think about it
🤷♂️
There must be a reason on why they got accepted in the first place that’s all I’m saying
In yapptistics like ebrahim evidently
🤷♂️
Pfft they accept anybody lol
flarp even if i make 20k a year i would make infinitely times more than u
if u think abt it
also their is plenty games more successfull than mine that make more that are run by <18
also flarp u just turnt a adult idk why u are so strong on ur belief
Isn’t an example of a user who made it big while young hazem?
He was 16 or 15 forgot when he made his pls donate game
Making thousands of dollars worth of Robux etc
yea but he different
No u wouldnt
Ur acting like I make 0 lmao
Ur sitting here saying u make 100k a year on a game that has no player base
In Robux or usd
Because it’s been proven by quite of few people who doesn’t have many players in there game that makes thousands of Robux daily
USD
Oh
i never said usd flarp just lying on my name
no game is making 100k usd daily dawg where did i say that
100 avg concurrent withno advertising is a player base your just being inconsiderate
i never said 100k daily i said a year
yet another strike back from ebrahim0261 proving my point
from what
from a job what else 😂
what job
What
Done it all
go do the extra credit
thats a problem evidently they gave up on the education system 😭
"my dad makes like 10x that" 
How u think it works
u make nothing and sit on ur moms 2.4g internet connection thats fine ur 15 but u gotta understand youre 15 you dont know what the real world is u clearly have no grasp on money
U dont even got a job
yep ur right im a jobless person living with my mom with dinner made for me every night by my parents 😭 😂
And u 18 talking abt sum u sit on ur moms wifi
totally
yea i do im 15 so what
alright this is straying from the original purpose of this forum
💀 this to
even worse
or the 100k being minimum wage
0 understanding of money
wait til u meet the tax man 😭
i think this over what the outcome is that flarp is inconsiderate and has a one way perspective on how the world works and that the original statement is wrong and that things should stay the way they are
y thats it anyone just viewing this
oh yea and flarp likes arguing with 15 yos
"im done with this 🤓 " keeps talking anyways
still anyone viewing this js ignore flarp
i think this over what the outcome is that ebrahim0261is inconsiderate and has a one way perspective on how the world works and that the original statement is wrong and that things should stay the way they are
more like robux
shes not wrong
whether u have knowledge on how money works or not, it should be handled by someone whos 18+ or even better, 21+
u dont see the government sayin otherwise when it comes to these, no matter wat kind of prodigal u r
no matter the criteria
u have to be 18+ to conduct an actual business
open a self-custodian bank acc
open a company
Doesn’t matter, its commissions
lol wgat
they don’t process anything money related
they just settle devates
debates
im 15 and i make money/robux from UI
and i dont want to work at a fuckin fast food so ye
- like almost everyone in this server who does commissions is under 18
How many times to I have to say that this server's scam team does not directly touch the money at all?
lol I swear
People just ignore whatever this thread is about
Nah fr also most ppl who are 18 don’t rlly know too much abt money as they just graduated high school I would say the majority of ppl 18+ just have work experience at like McDonald’s
This is true too
I think the person that started this was just trying to be controversial.
Stop talking bro
Don’t make me grab what you’ve said here
“My dad makes like 4x that 🤓 “
“Gas station workers make 70k a year 🤓 “
“I make $300 a day off a 100 player game 🤓 “
“100k is minimum wage 🤓 “
“I’ll send a screenshot 🤓 “ never does
I don’t need to prove that
Because idc
More like 100 maximum
But when kids make money it’s not the kids directly making the money, they have to agree to a specific type of license to do so, which is handled by their parents.
why wouldn’t she be tho lol
That’s just misjudgment of character we ain’t perfect and lawyers definitely aren’t either
Exactly
also she’s like 18
waiting
For what
you just said wait a min
What makes u assume that?
No they dont
The fact you said you get 150 avg and said u make $300 a day and over 100k a year off a dead game
In fact I think ur lying entirely
More like u can’t
But that was expected
Lolz
I don’t need to because I don’t care but u keep arguing about ur non existent success you should be expected to show evidence or else everything u say is bs
