Allow developers to detect if an asset has been moderated

As a Roblox developer that uses InsertService to load character assets, it would be incredibly useful to have a way to determine if an asset has been moderated and is no longer wearable. Currently, players who equip previously worn outfits that now contain moderated items, end up wearing a sort of partial outfit with the moderated items missing. This is very concerning since the moderation of classic shirts/pants can leave some of our players running around naked. Therefore, some sort of way to detect if an asset has been moderated would be much appreciated, especially for games that tailor to a younger audience.

Alternatively, a feature that returns the default Roblox shirt or pants whenever moderated shirts or pants are requested would solve this issue as well.

Thanks!

I support this. It doesn’t sound very hard to implement either.

A rather hacky workaround for your specific problem is to add the default shirt/pants and put the custom item on top of it.

You can detect if an asset is not able to be loaded by using pcall on the InsertService call and checking if the API was successful at inserting the asset. If it was not successful, you can apply the default clothing.

Took the words out of my mouth! I would definitely love to have Roblox automatically apply default clothing on moderated shirts and pants so that we don’t have naked characters.

A good default clothing would be the one Roblox already does. Roblox Blue Shirt - Roblox
Roblox Yellow Shirt - Roblox

Oh, I already know about the default clothing. The thing I mentioned is that if you have a moderated shirt or pants; it doesn’t override them to the default clothing and displays them as blank

A long time ago this was apparently implemented, however it’s never actually worked since day 1 and they just never bothered to fix it.
