Best practices for responsibly distributing Roblox scripts
Hi everyone — I run a small site that hosts and documents a collection of Roblox scripts (example repo: https://inkgamescript.help/) and I want to make sure I’m handling distribution responsibly.
My goals are to:
keep users safe from malware and credential-stealing code,
be transparent about what each script does and any risks,
avoid unintentionally encouraging behavior that violates Roblox’s Terms of Service, and
make the project sustainable and legal (licenses, takedown handling, etc.).
Questions I have for this community:
Security / anti-malware: What practical steps should I take before publishing a script (e.g., static checks, sandbox testing, third-party scanning, code review checklists)? Are there recommended services or workflows for automated scanning that are realistic for a small project?
Transparency & documentation: What minimum information should each script page include so users can make an informed decision (example: explicit feature list, known limitations, screenshots, safe-use recommendations, dependencies, supported executors)?
Legal / ToS concerns: How have others handled scripts that could be seen as granting unfair advantage (automation, exploits)? What language/disclaimers are effective, and when is it safer to refuse hosting certain types of scripts?
Distribution & integrity: For safe downloads, should I publish checksums/signatures, host on GitHub/GitLab, or use release binaries? Any suggestions for preventing tampering and proving authenticity?
Community & moderation: How to moderate contributions and report/respond to malicious submissions? Are there lightweight contributor guidelines, PR review rules, or CI checks you recommend?
Alternatives / ethical options: If certain scripts are obviously against community rules, what are good alternatives to provide value (e.g., teaching scripts, safe modding APIs, demo projects, educational tutorials)?
If you’ve run a similar repo or maintain a tools site, I’d love to hear:
your concrete checklist before publishing a script,
hosting/CI setup you use, and
sample wording for a responsible-use policy or contributor guidelines.
Thanks in advance — feel free to point to examples or templates. I’m trying to make https://inkgamescript.help/ as safe and community-friendly as possible.
