Are no smoking signs allowed in roblox?

Yes they’re allowed.

Why would a sign which discourages cigarettes and tobacco be filtered.

They should be glad people are provoking teenagers to quit smoking. Roblox has a large age range and there are players who smoke.

I’m 17 myself and I’ve known people who smoked tobacco since 13-14. It’s a sign not a drug shop you won’t get banned for that…

The issue is that it references it at all, it’s a bit of a grey area in the TOS.

I was banned for uploading a decal of a cigarette previously. It’s referencing to adult content, and is not permitted on Roblox. This was a few years ago, though. But I doubt the rules have changed regarding this.

Nobody knows until it’s tried.

Best to give it a shot regardless.

They are plenty of no smoking sign decals already uploaded into the library like this one.

Just use that rather than risking your account by uploading your own. If you want to upload something that may be “questionable” for moderation reasons do it on an alt account so that you do not lose everything if the account gets banned.

Well, a no smoking sign is promoting good health.

I’ve actually uploaded one a long time ago. I would say it’s okay to be used if it did get past moderation. As @Almonty7655 said as well, there are plenty of no smoking decals already available on the website.

It’s here if you need any proof:

I don’t believe ROBLOX allows anything related to smoking, cigars, etc. It is a drug. I would contact a staff member in the ROBLOX Devforums about it.

It should be fine. Tons of children who went out have probably seen the “no smoking” signs everywhere at stores and parks. As long as you don’t give the player the option to smoke, it’s acceptable.

It does absolutely, but there are kids who may have never heard of it and might ask their parents. Plus roblox’s moderation is very unpredictable I often get completely safe images removed and had to re-upload them for it to work.

I mean, everyone mostly has been on a plane where a no smoking sign is given. I think you shouldn’t upload a decal try using 3d text. “No Smoking”. Would be your best bet.

Yes. It is perfectly in the TOS. If your image gets wrongly moderated, I would recommend emailing appeals@roblox.com.

Well, I’ve seen many airlines use it. But I personally haven’t used it. At the max, you just get a warning from Roblox, not even a ban.

Remember, a game can be moderated at any time!

This isn’t about what is culturally acceptable, even though children smoking is absolutely abhorrent and should be discouraged absolutely.

It is clear in the Roblox rules that smoking and other tobacco paraphernalia is banned - however I don’t see how this sign will breach those rules.

I hope that’s not true.

I think about it that way, apples would not be allowed why?

Because you can (in real life) force an apple piece down someones throath and suffocate them to death hence referencing to brutal murders …

Weird example, but I hope you get my point

Lighters are fine, as long as not used in connection to smoking.

That’s the short and easy summary of my post lol, so yeah. I agree

It’s the Moderator’s Decision. If they choose to ban it they ban it. If they choose to not ban it, They don’t ban it.

There isn’t a real reason to include it, and it’s better safe than sorry with grey areas like this.

It is more than likely that a moderator will interprete no smoking signs as against the rules and moderate (or possibly even delete) your assets or accounts.
