AI Moderation System Falsely Flagging Turkish Flag as Terrorism Content

My account (username: raskolibov – profile link: Yavuz - Roblox) keeps getting banned due to “terrorism/extremism content.” This is a false positive caused by the AI moderation system mistakenly flagging the Turkish national flag on my avatar as terrorism-related imagery.

  • My first appeal was accepted and the ban was lifted.
  • After an hour later, I was banned again for the exact same reason, immediately after equipping the same avatar with the Turkish flag.
  • The only notable element on my avatar is the Turkish flag, which is a national symbol and not terrorism content.
  • This clearly shows that the AI moderation system is repeatedly and falsely flagging my avatar.
  • This needs to be fixed so that my avatar is not repeatedly flagged in the future, and I do not have to submit appeals every time.

This should be treated as a bug in the automated detection system. My avatar should no longer be falsely flagged for this reason in the future.

My appeal already got accepted, it’s just that the AI is falsely flagging this, and a few things need to change here. If I use the same avatar again, I’ll get banned despite my appeal being accepted a second time, so the issue goes beyond just me submitting appeals.

this is not an account related moderation issue, this is an AI mishandling memory incorrectly issue so its a bug

I’m going to have this bug report closed, since I changed my avatar and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to reproduce this issue again. Thanks, Roblox. :skull_and_crossbones::folded_hands:

I hate to update this thread, but Roblox’s AI moderation struck again, and apparently my avatar is discriminatory, and it got removed again. :sob::wilted_flower:

My appeal was accepted instantly, so I’m not complaining, but I’m afraid it’s going to happen again :skull_and_crossbones:


I decided to reopen the bug report, and I confirmed with this avatar that the issue is in fact related to the Turkish flag. (some people were saying my avatar got removed because it looked like THAT PERSON so i hope this clears things up and makes the independent variable obvious in everyone’s mind)

I know this post is old, but Roblox moderation is absolutely nuts when it comes to “terrorism” and flags/emblems.

The old Iraqi flag, for example, resulted in a false terrorism ban, and another friend received a similar ban for the Betsy Ross flag.
