Experience still invisible after suspension removed by Appeals

Hello,

A few days ago my experience was hidden with the message:

I contacted Support/Appeals, and they confirmed the suspension was removed. Here is part of their reply:

After that, I noticed that only players who had joined before can see and play the game again. However:

  • The same yellow banner still shows on the overview page.
  • New players cannot find or play the game.
  • Impressions are completely stuck at 0.
  • I am unable to run ads or sponsorships

It seems like the Appeals team lifted the suspension, but the automated visibility restriction was not fully cleared.

Could staff please review this and fully restore the discoverability of my experience? This issue has been ongoing for several days now and is preventing the game from reaching any new players.

I really hope staff can review and fully restore the discoverability of my experience asap

Thank you in advance

Really interesting change. Probably happening in response to the controversy Roblox is in right now due to inappropriate content.

The quote above will ping the engineer, hopefully they can help you out with this

Hi @DevSergious, your experience Steal a Meow is not suspended (not related to the other thread) but it receives reduced exposure due to being too similar to other content on the platform. This could be due to various metadata, but I took a look at your experience details page and in particular I suspect that your thumbnails could be too close to other experiences.

I have attached a picture of the new banner from your Creator Hub:

Please review our best practices and related dev forum post. When your metadata is sufficiently different from other content, the banner will go away automatically.

Thanks!

Thanks for replying. The yellow banner being shown to me is the “Your experience is not visible to any player.” “It is under investigation for containing content or metadata similar to existing Roblox content.”. So its just very untelling for me to understand what exactly to fix, but i appreciate you for letting me know. I went ahead and removed some of the thumbnails i added prior to this.

When can i expect the banner to go away after i have now removed these thumbnails?

I used some of the pet icons that ive bought from a pack which some other developers also use. Quite sad if im not able to use those pet icons as well when others are able to?

Also could be the roblox character hands i used in some thumbnails but got permission from a guy to use the same hands in my thumbnail, but now both these types of thumbnails are removed so hopefully it can be resolved

Also me not being able to do ads on the game during this also seems weird to me but i assume that i would be able to do ads if this yellow banner goes away?

I really just want my game back up and running

I’m actually not sure why you’re seeing a different banner from me on your page - I’ll ask the team that owns it to check it out. I’m also not sure about ads but I’ll ask too.

Usually it can come back pretty quickly when the metadata is updated

I would appreciate that.

Thanks for helping out. Hoping this can finally get solved soon

I see your experience is receiving impressions again.

The team mentioned that there might be an issue that caused the banner to be cached for you for additional time, but it does not reflect the current status of the experience.

Since it wasn’t cached for me, I got to see the “real” status which was that there was reduced exposure due to similarity to other content.

After you fixed it, I can see the banner is gone on my end.

Thanks for your patience!

Yea i see its getting impressions. Ads also work now.

But i for some reason still see the yellow banner on my end (whether its a visual bug or what it could be)

Not sure if that might actually be a bug or if it will go away by itself. If you say the banner is gone on your end it should have on my end right?

Yeah it’s a visual bug (being cached for you for additional time) and it should go away by itself!

Okay, sounds good!

(I updated this reply because it seems it has been solved and i don’t see the yellow banner anymore)

Thanks for taking your time to help me with this!
