For parents and guardians
How DevMint keeps young creators safe
DevMint is where Roblox creators plan games, show their work and get hired. Teens use it, so the safest settings are the defaults, and the strictest ones can’t be switched off. Here is exactly what the app does today.
13+ only
Everyone gives their birthday when they sign up. Anyone under 13 can’t make an account: the app refuses it, and so does our database, even if someone gets around the app.
We keep only the age group (13–15, 16–17 or 18+), never the birthday itself. The age group decides the safety rules below.

Messages
Private messages only work between mutuals: two people who follow each other. A stranger can’t message your teen out of the blue. Blocking someone stops all contact both ways.
Moderation
Slurs, hate and telling someone to hurt themselves are blocked before they’re posted, in posts, comments, messages, group names, job listings, profiles and hire offers. The same filter runs in our database, so it can’t be skipped. Other swear words are masked.
Anyone can report a post, comment, profile or conversation. Reports go to a moderation queue where our team removes content or warns the account.
What stays private
Accounts aged 13–15 are private by default. A private account’s Roblox game stats are not shown on its public page, and it can’t publish results to the public results page.
Robux earnings are only ever visible to the creator.
Money and jobs
Payments run in test mode until launch, so no real money moves yet. When it does, a job’s money is held in escrow until the client approves the work (or 7 days after it’s handed in), and DevMint’s fee is 10% of the job (0% on a creator’s first 3 jobs).
Under 18, buying a plan in the app waits for a guardian’s OK. Paid plans renew until they’re canceled, and the app says so before anyone pays.
Screen time
Screen-time reminders and quiet hours are on by default for under-18s. For 13–15 the reminder can be moved but not turned off.
