One of my accounts has been moderated for 1 Day reason being “Discriminatory Content” due to something I had said being misinterpreted, I sent an appeal using the “Violations & Appeals” tab to hopefully appeal my ban but instead, the violation category was updated and my ban ended up stacking, giving me a 3 Day ban instead of keeping my 1 Day ban
Expected behavior
When appealing via “Violations & Appeals” if the category of the ban is changed once reviewed it should not stack
@Cheesewu Please check this out it possible, thank you.
On another bug report it was reported that the “warning reappears” while it gets reviewed. My guess is after the review is concluded, roblox just hits you with the same punishment reason which stacks your ban
Edit: Nevermind your reason was changed to harassment, if you were banned for harassment before on your account then the next ban would be 3 days instead so this might be intentional
I believe roblox uses a strike system, so if you were banned for harassment before then you would only get a worse ban if you had the same reason again which probably happened here
In short:
You were first banned for discriminatory content which was probably your first offense. But after appealing the moderator decided to change your reason to harassment and since you were banned before for harassment you received a 3 day ban instead probably
This is just my guess what happened
The screenshots i had sent were from the same ban page, that WAS my first ban offense
Thank you for flagging this for our attention. We reviewed your account and determined that our systems are working as expected.
This is still a bug as I had the same thing happen to me today. And I must ask how are your systems working as expected when a prior consequence was applied for a set duration and then sometimes after being denied an appeal once or twice through Violations & Appeals that the duration of consequence is extended? It makes no sense and no your systems are not working as expected because there is an issue where if you try to appeal past moderations then it would apply that moderation again sometimes…
This not working as intended. When the content was appealed, the moderator’s actions updated the original items and lengthened the ban. Roblox’s systems did not account for the previous instatement, and treated the same content that was already warned for as a new offense. Adding strikes to an account leads to termination, and striking the account for the same content twice should go against how the strike system works.
Why apply a new punishment for content that was already moderated, especially when it happened because of the Roblox’s staff teams conduction and not the user themselves? If not appealed, it would have remained at a 1 day ban. Should we as creators not appeal items and unworthy bans for any of our content? This brings a palethora of questions to mind now when our content creation could get wrongly flagged.
I’d like to revisit this issue, as it is still occurring. To clarify, the purpose of this thread is not to contest my ban, but to highlight a broader concern: when an appeal is declined, it appears that the original moderation action is reapplied, effectively extending the ban. This practice can discourage users from submitting appeals and raises questions about the fairness of the process.
@Cheesewu id really appreciate if you could go ahead and check this out!
This is intentional. Because the reason for your ban gets updated there, which can be considered as a change in the severity of the moderation action. (Not every rule violation is evaluated with the same severity, or if you already had repeated violations in that specific category, it might just result in an extended suspension)

This bug report is already closed
It does not state that a rejected appeal results in your ban being adjusted. It only mentions that your ban can be adjusted, not that it automatically will be after a failed appeal.
Your appeal wasn’t just rejected; the reason also changed, which you can see in the box below after the appeal was denied.
Not every rule violation is treated with the same severity, and if you have a history in that specific violation category (the category that was changed when your appeal was denied), it can contribute to the severity of the action applied. And it did. If you’re still experiencing issues, you need to submit a new bug report since this one was closed.
This is a common problem unrelated to any of the images i had provided, please educate yourself.
