There is a critical issue with a part of the current moderation system functionality that no longer works as intended. This flaw is an extreme safety concern, allowing inappropriate and illegal content to remain on the platform indefinitely. Despite moderators’ actions to reset avatars that violate community guidelines, the system fails to actually reset the avatars, meaning that harmful, explicit, or otherwise inappropriate content is still visible to users, including children, on Roblox.

This issue has been ongoing for several months, and the moderation system is no longer performing as it should. Given that this is the last line of defense to prevent children from seeing extremely inappropriate content, this is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention.
This bug is a significant loophole that’s currently being abused by malicious users to display harmful content on Roblox. Fixing this would be revolutionary for moderation, which is clearly intended behavior considering its inclusion in violation history and appeals. Without this, Roblox is at risk of hosting illegal and explicit content, which damages the platform’s reputation and safety for all users, especially minors.
Screenshot of the violation message:
This issue must be addressed urgently. Current functionality allows explicit and harmful content to persist on the platform, posing a severe risk to Roblox’s user base, including minors. I hope to see the previous, effective functionality reinstated, ensuring a safer environment for all users.
