If one of your accounts is banned, all of your other accounts can’t join games. Basically just a temp IP ban which is mostly easy to get around.
When an account is deleted, this occurs on all accounts. This is NOT an IP ban.
It’s not an actual IP ban, just that Roblox doesn’t let you play on an alt if one of your other accounts is banned.
people are so quick to say this is an IP ban or ban evasion prevention that its actually scary to see how fast misinformation spreads
this isn’t an IP ban, its just an odd quirk of the roblox engine that appears when you (a banned account) try to launch roblox (usually on an unbanned account)
you can fix it by either reinstalling roblox or just clearing cache
this is an observable behavior, and a predictable one too
Easiest way is just to delete LocalStorage:
C:\Users\YOURWINDOWSUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Roblox
After deleting it, try joining with different account.

Tell your brother if he does that again he won’t be able to play Roblox ever again and that the police will come for him lol.

But he’s not that stupid local player. He knows what clients are like you, cuz he tried to learn scripting once but gave up at the point of functions. Like around 3-4 years ago, he gave up in the first week or something. He’s 10 years old but hes smart for a 10 yr old.
I appreciate your help but like I said earlier the problem is not that I don’t know how to fix it. The problem is that its a bug, I already fixed it by just going on the roblox app even when all accounts were logged in and by the time he got unbanned the error just stopped appearing on the website.
I can’t file bug reports because i’m not in the group so i’m just hoping that someone files on my behalf because it’s very annoying since I know my bro will keep getting banned I don’t wanna have to play on the app or do anything with my files.
Different people are saying different things, thats its an IP ban or ban prevention i’m not sure. The only explanation to me is that its unintended behaviour and therefore a bug because I’ve not seen roblox mention this anywhere. Surely, they would atleast make an announcement about this.
This error has occured for a few years ongoing now whenever my brother has been banned on my device, however I was not a devforum member back then and wasn’t a programmer either. Now that I am and my brother got banned once more it came back to my mind.
So you are saying this is a malfunction? Or not?
Okay but where is all this information coming from? Has roblox actually said this anywhere? Until I see that roblox or the team has actually stated they will do this I’m going to assume it’s a bug as that’s the likely reason.
it could be, but considering it hasnt been patched it might be intended behaviour, nevertheless it is NOT an IP ban and you are NOT being system banned for “ban evasion” like some other people were saying

Hm, alright. I will try to get a bug report filed for this anyway though so I can atleast either get confirmation that it is intended or that it was accidental and just hasn’t been addressed. I’ll just mark the way that I fixed this as the solution.
Solution:
I fixed this bug during the time of my ban by just logging into my main account through the roblox app, I didn’t have to log out any other accounts or anything like that.
After the ban ended I was able to play roblox on the website again anyway.
I will try to find a way to file a bug report because this issue hasn’t really been addressed by roblox at all on whether its intended or not.

It is a intentional feature to prevent using Roblox on alternative accounts during ban period, as I’ve mentioned before and something which you should remember for the future, deleting LocalStorage just fixes it, there is no such thing as an IP ban unless you’ve got terminated multiple times and Roblox simply don’t want you on their platform.

But my question to you and everyone is how do you KNOW that it’s intentional. I couldn’t find a single source where roblox has mentioned they’ve done this on purpose.
they just started doing it one day I had this tooo whenever I was banned and tried on an alt
It’s not user id ban, it’s a user ban, if you read my entire post you would’ve seen evidence.
Exploiters have been getting around this for years, simply by creating a new windows profile, like shown here:
If you wan’t to figure it out yourself, you can do so by;
The current marked solution for this post isn’t helpful nor does it explain anything.
Note: DO NOT file a bug report. They have better things to do besides answer a question I’ve answered.
If you do happen to file a bug report, they’ll literally just say the same thing I did.
Some staff member mentioned it about a year ago, can’t find it tho.
Next time if you recieve a ban, open roblox “app”, then click “log out” on the ban screen if you want to use another account
