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:

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.
