Roblox treats experiences without guidelines the same as experiences with an age recommendation of **Ages&nbsp;13+**, meaning Roblox doesn't recommend them to younger players. In addition, experiences without guidelines cannot contain any [17+ content](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/articles/15869919570708) without risk of moderation. For this reason, Roblox strongly recommends that you fill out the questionnaire for each of your experiences so that they're available to the largest appropriate audience possible.

Crude humor is a type of humor that depicts or references bodily functions, such as belching, flatulence, vomiting, urinating, and/or defecation for comical purposes.

### Social Hangout
131+
132+
Social hangouts are experiences in which the primary theme or activity is to chat or interact with other players with voice or text either as themselves or as their avatar. While this applies to vibe games, clubs, socializing spaces, and supportive places like sad rooms, it does **not** apply to roleplay and/or life simulation experiences where players adopt various roles like teacher or police officer, or are provided with items to role-play with.
133+
134+
If your experience is a social hangout, you must disclose it within the Maturity & Compliance Questionnaire. Social hangouts are only available to players that are at least 13 years old.
135+
136+
### Free-Form User Creation
137+
138+
Free-form user creation are features that allow players to create anything within an experience, such as writing words or making illustrations on a chalkboard. While this applies to in-experience, free-form drawing or creation tools, it does **not** apply to in-experience creations that players assemble with 3D assets, such as building a house or creating an outfit, or anything that goes through Roblox moderation before it's published or replicated.

If your experience includes free-form user creation features, you must disclose it within the Maturity & Compliance Questionnaire. Free-form user creation is only available to players that are at least 13 years old.
