E.g. ‘Oi you in the blue pants, 1v1 me’.

13 

Roblox has a 13+ age requirement, so if someone is suspected of being underaged, variations of this number are used to point it out to make that player leave. Also used to imply or state that someone is acting childish. 

E.g. ‘13, kid’.

 ;-; 

An emoji that represents somebody crying.

ABC

This is similar but means Accept or Decline, so when there is a trade that you’re not going to want to change, such as you don’t want to give away any of your other items, or you want their specific item.

Short for Admin Abuse, administrator’s are users which have additional powers, abilities or other extras which are not available to other players in the game.

This means they can do things which the non-admins can’t do, meaning they can instantly win, walk through walls or all manner of other things. Calling out abuse is a first step to removing these types of players from the game.
