Each .txt.zst file contains compressed lists of Roblox game URLs.

File Format

Files are compressed with Zstandard (.zst). When decompressed, they contain:

https://www.roblox.com/games/1234567890
https://www.roblox.com/games/1234567891
https://www.roblox.com/games/1234567892
...

DBR automatically decompresses .txt.zst files when using the --file command or inventory scanner.

Using the Lists

Method 1: With Inventory Scanner

The scanner automatically uses all downloaded .txt.zst files:

dbr --check-inventory 123456789

Method 2: Direct Removal

Use a specific compressed list file:

dbr --env-file .env --file badge-spam-lists-main/badge_chain_001.txt.zst

Method 3: Decompress and Edit

Manually decompress, review, and use:

# Decompress with zstd
zstd -d badge-spam-lists-main/badge_chain_001.txt.zst

# Review and edit
nano badge_chain_001.txt

# Use with DBR
dbr --env-file .env --file badge_chain_001.txt

What’s Included?

The repository contains curated lists of:

Badge Chains - Series of games pumping out spam badges
AFK Games - Games requiring no interaction for badges
Badge Farms - Games designed solely for badge distribution
Exploit Games - Games with easily exploitable badge requirements

Lists are community-maintained and may not be 100% accurate. Always review before deletion.
