AI moderation takes down an empty game for "Misusing Roblox Systems" (yes there's literally nothing in it)

Hi, I’ve been having a really strange issue with my game Bey’s Interview Office.

Since August 6th, the game has repeatedly been moderated for “Misusing Roblox Systems”.

I appealed the first moderation and it was accepted, but the game continued getting moderated afterwards. I’ve now had multiple moderations for the same reason, with the appeals repeatedly being accepted after 4-10h.

To figure out what was causing it, I removed basically everything from the experience, including scripts. I eventually tested publishing the game with no scripts, no map, and practically no content at all, and it still got moderated.

I have (compressed videos) showing this happening:

And here I have a screenshot of my violations & appeals page regarding (now) the empty game:

At this point I genuinely have no idea what could be triggering this. I originally suspected Adonis or something in my scripts, maybe even HTTP Requests, but after removing everything, that doesn’t really make sense anymore.

Could this be an issue where an experience that was previously flagged continues getting automatically moderated, even after an appeal is accepted?

I also contacted Roblox Appeals about this. After an initial automated message confirming that my request had been received, I eventually received a response from Roblox Appeals stating that my account had been moderated for uploading an image file" that violated the Community Standards under “Misusing Roblox Systems”.

This is especially confusing because Bey’s Interview Office is a game/experience, not an image file.

The response doesn’t even appear to describe what was actually moderated, and it still doesn’t explain why the same moderation continues to happen to an experience that now has essentially nothing in it.

That’s why I’m posting this here. I’d really appreciate any insight from other developers or Roblox staff who might know what could be causing this.

It really shouldn’t be this difficult for a billion dollar company to invest in a proper moderation system instead of relying on automation that repeatedly flags content incorrectly :victory_hand:

are you banned? if not then dont really bother. Theres a small chance if any that ROblox cares

No, I’m thankfully not due to my fair account standing, but I am unable to keep my game public as it would always get taken down every 2 minutes after playing / updating it. I might as well just reupload the game or something…

keep appealing, and ask for a reason. eventually you will get an exact reason (stupid that its after 100000 appeals) but yeah

i have the exact same issue, unfortunately :sob:. support isn’t helping much as they ignore my questions and rather say they can’t help further. The appeals are always accepted, but the game gets taken down constantly. it is so frustrating

Misusing Roblox Systems means that there is actually no reason to delete the game. First of all, Roblox AI tries to remove games with high visits, as well as if a significant amount of unused Robux has accumulated on the developer’s account. Try not to keep large amounts in plain sight of Roblox.
