“Username is not appropriate for Roblox”

I tried changing my username to “IvanYellow” and found out the word “Yellow” isn’t appropriate for whatever reason.
I dont see the color yellow being offensive so why is this the case? Just why?

The word isn’t censored when typing in chat ingame or in the home chat, but in the username selection it is.


This might be because of the content creator thing but I don’t see any content creator named yellow, and that was fixed a bit ago.

He could also try finding a different association with yellow, like lemons, or dandelion!

One theory of I think why it’s flagged is it’s associated with the color of pee

uuuuhhh try y3ll0w if yell0w doesnt work

Wait, are you trying to change the display name or username?

Thanks for the detailed reply.

1: seems like a pretty ducktaped solution but it will work until Roblox unblocks yellow

3: already tried contacting them once and had to wait 12 days for a reply only for them to be unhelpful

Trying to change the username, didn’t check if it allows it on display names

Oh just realised I put display name in the title, my bad lol

That’s because yellow probably corresponds to a popular personality among the Roblox community. (I suppose Y3llowMustang I can’t say with 100% surety.) which is why that username is not available, as it may be used to impersonate the user.

Here’s a video I found about the issue.

I may or may not be correct about this.

This channel only has 10k subs.

Yes, that’s why I mentioned that I’m not 100% sure on it. I can’t really find any user with that specific name that is cauing the issue.

i think the filter is tweaking out and being overly strict, as “yellow” can be an insult directed at asian people

This could be it actually, wouldn’t surprise me
