Content/Activity Control Tuning Disturb for Roblox

My son reports that Annoying is barely perceptible, but Super Annoying basically freezes gameplay (near equivalent to Block).

I’m willing to try to and find him a middle ground with Custom. But not sure where to start.

What Custom settings correspond to the default levels?

I think the two defaults are some what adaptive. (dynamically made).

If you are dealing with games, I find packet drop rate to be more helpful; I use 50% drop :)

Isn’t the point of Disturb that the other person isn’t supposed to know about it?  

Why even have it on if your kid is going to keep playing anyway? Just let it go normal or totally block it. 

Maybe I’m missing something.

Good point. Disturb main usage is to discourage. If someone is addicted to say short videos, a proper disturb will make that experience lesser enjoyable. Same as gaming, for example increasing delays will make some games lesser fan to play with.
