Default starter places and old games being falsely detected as 'sexual content' wrongfully terminating accounts

All within the last 3 weeks, there have been several reports across multiple platforms that users have been terminated for ‘sexual content’ despite the assets that people are being terminated for being old baseplates or the default starter baseplate game/place every account gets when they sign up. The auto moderation is detecting these places as ‘sexual’ even though they don’t have anything sexual related in them, if I had to guess why it would be someone randomly joining a untouched place for a while causing the AI to think it as something else somehow.

All reports of these false bans until ones that have popped up within the last 24 hours or so have all been permanent, and to those like myself who have experienced this, our appeals have been denied, with no proof of any sexual content being shown or any verification that a human has properly reviewed these ‘sexual content’ experiences. If a human moderator took 30 seconds to check supposedly sexual: ‘Offensive item:
Asset Name:TheRealTepigPlays52’s Place Asset ID:409176026’ they would find it to be the same default baseplate game that everyone gets on sign up, with no sexual content in any form. The fact I never updated it should be proof alone that I was false banned but my appeal was denied, just like everyone else who has experienced this.

There are some other posts on here for those who have been unfairly and falsely moderated:

This one is misusing systems but you get the point: Misusing Roblox Systems | Game Ban (URGENT) - #8 by Durk_04

These are just forum posts alone, there are around 10 people on a subreddit dealing with this. All within the last 3 weeks, with nothing about these false bans for old baseplates prior. Auto moderation is needed to some degree, but it needs to be refined and patched heavily, and appeal evaluation needs to be much better. Here is a clear instance of the auto moderation being flawed:

Expected behavior

I hope to raise further awareness of this false ban wave so roblox staff realise there is a flaw in their automated detection which needs fixing, and I want to get a human moderator’s attention to have all of these false sexual content place terminations given a fair further review. There are so many posts I have gathered and saved but I don’t think I’m allowed to post stuff off platform here.

I have found 15 people so far stating that this has happened to them, all since September20th, with no similar reports prior. This is really annoying for all of us and I hope it gets addressed soon.

Bump — this whole situation is absurd. It needs to be reviewed, and seems like someone is actually abusing the AI system.

Bump, this issue is outrageous and is impacting a lot of innocent people.

Thanks for the support guys, turns out this is the return of an old bug from a few months ago, I hope this gets addressed as soon as possible: Adding a top Toolbox model to your experience will get you banned for 'Sexual Content'

I had found over 20 people affected before last night and a massive post was made last night with even more, and I know a few more falsely banned on top of that so we are at least 30 now, this is the post: Roblox AI Moderation Massively Terminates Accounts ⚠️

Additionally, here is a livestream moment of it happening to someone else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbet8Kmsxto&t=10631s

No way, how does something from months ago return like this?..

I don’t know, maybe it is an accident from roblox trying to crack down heavily on some bad places after a lot of legal bans but in the process default/empty baseplates have been accidentally terminated.

@Bluff_006 please take a few minutes to look into this and the other forum posts similar too. My account ‘TheRealTepigPlays52” is still false terminated for this: https://www.roblox.com/users/124855140/profile

This was addressed on another posted over a week after mine:

My false termination still has not been addressed even though they are the same bug report, Azot’s post contained profile links to those he found affected by false terminations for the default starter place so here are the ones I currently have for this same bug that are still not reinstated:

https://www.roblox.com/users/1951478923/profile
https://www.roblox.com/users/9045660634/profile

If these accounts could be addressed that would be fair as we spoke out about this bug first, I’ll add anymore who are still terminated from their unmodified default starter place.

My account was banned on October 8, 2025, while I was outside, for something from April 2024. The four accounts linked to my email, including my main one, Cuta_nwn, were banned for the same reason. None of them specifically explain what happened or why.

So far, I’m still hoping support will properly review this, since every message I send is rejected with the same copy-and-paste response.

Let’s also hope that an admin like @Bluff_006 can review these cases.

Is yours at all related to the default starter place being falsely flagged and ‘TheRealTepigPlays52’ still being falsely terminated as a result, which is what I am dealing with?

I have no idea why, since all four accounts have the same reason — none of them have a different one.

The least they could do is add a sanity check like if the place is the starter place and has not been modified, then no matter what the AI says, the place is not a violation.

Precisely, the fact I have never updated mine is 100% proof of me being innocent. It would take 5 seconds to do, but I just cannot get through to a human.

This issue still has not been fixed or fully resolved. More reports of these default starter place or baseplate terminations keep coming in, appeals still do not work, and accounts are still terminated. They are still investigating but more communication would be appreciated. Hopefully @Bluff_006 addresses this again soon.

dude that’s insanity…this AI moderation is blowing up back at them really badly, I’ve had my own experience with this for my game and it sucks that its still a common issue, i hope this gets addressed and delt with diligently

Thanks! It has been really stressful for the past 5 weeks now, so many still affected like myself and a only a fraction unbanned with false terminations still being given out for this. A developer relations staff said they are still investigating. I have a bunch of profile links of those affected.

Reports of these default starter place false moderation actions are still ongoing with new reports on twitter and reddit. The person in this X thread had this bug false moderate them, with all the appeals they sent rejected with the same AI copy and paste response that everyone else affected has, though he luckily only got 7 days when several people like myself have been falsely terminated for over 5 weeks now.

We really need a public update on this bug.

UPDATE:
Massive news, 2 days ago @xxAkhilx was finally unterminated after a month and a half from this bug by sending yet another appeal keeping it short but factual that a confirmed bug in the moderation, and then responding to the support ticket with visual proof and links of there being a confirmed bug that terminated him for his default starter place.

He contacted me right after having a successful appeal, I had a pending appeal which I tried the visual proof with which was denied the next day. I appealed again right after the rejection, with a simple, short, and factual appeal, with the exact same follow up in response to the support ticket and today I was finally unterminated from this bug:



I have contacted all those who have been affected by this too, hopefully they all succeed with this kind of appeal.

I’m incredibly happy this is all over after over 6 weeks of stress, over 10 rejected appeals, several forum posts, so much research, official bug confirmation from the roblox twitter account and bluff_006, and getting myself in a kreekcraft video.

I’ll mark this as solved, but feel free to ask any questions!

I am going this so far, I am apparently answering a human. I’m going well?
