Exploit Allowing False Account Terminations

Exploit Allowing False Account Terminations – Needs Urgent Attention

Recently, a major issue has surfaced in the Roblox community where malicious users have found a way to falsely terminate innocent accounts. What’s even worse is that they’ve turned this into a service, allowing people to pay for the wrongful termination of other users. This is an extremely dangerous exploit that needs to be addressed immediately.

How This Exploit Works

  1. False Reports & System Abuse – The exploiters use a method that tricks Roblox’s moderation system into banning accounts that haven’t violated any rules. This is done through mass reporting, manipulating automated detection systems, or other means that force the moderation team to take action against innocent users.

  2. “Banning as a Service” – The individuals behind this are selling these false bans as a service, allowing others to pay them to get accounts terminated. This means anyone can become a target, whether they’re developers, content creators, or regular players.

  3. Exploiting the Appeal System – Once banned, the victims often find it extremely difficult to appeal their terminations. The current appeal system is largely automated and does not always provide proper human review, making it nearly impossible to reverse false bans.

Why This is a Huge Problem

  • Developers Are at Risk – Developers who have spent years building games, communities, and assets can lose everything overnight due to an exploit they have no control over.
  • Loss of Trust in Moderation – If bad actors can manipulate the system this easily, it undermines trust in Roblox’s ability to fairly moderate its platform.
  • Potential for Mass Abuse – If this exploit continues, it could become widespread, with more people using it to silence competitors, harass individuals, or simply cause chaos.

What Roblox Needs to Do

  1. Strengthen Report Verification – Reports leading to bans should be subject to stricter review before action is taken, especially in cases where account termination is involved.
  2. Increase Transparency in Moderation – Users need to receive more detailed explanations when banned, so they can better understand the reason and appeal properly.
  3. Improve the Appeal Process – There needs to be a more reliable and accessible way for falsely banned users to contact real moderators and present evidence proving their innocence.
  4. Crack Down on Exploiters – Roblox must actively investigate and take action against those offering these services, including banning their accounts and pursuing legal action if necessary.

How Developers Can Protect Themselves

Until Roblox addresses this issue, developers should take extra precautions:

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure accounts.
  • Document all transactions and interactions in case proof is needed to dispute a ban.
  • Be cautious of suspicious activity in your games or messages, as some attackers may attempt to bait you into situations that can be used against you.

This exploit is not just an inconvenience—it is a direct attack on the integrity of Roblox’s moderation system and the safety of its users. If left unchecked, it could lead to widespread abuse and further damage the platform’s reputation. This issue needs immediate attention from Roblox to prevent more innocent users from losing their accounts unfairly.

Literally had my development account banned for “using an alternate account to avoid blah blah blah”, and support team :robot: couldn’t even tell me the username of the account that got it terminated, roblox support :robot: is a straight up joke.

I can’t refer to support in any other way, I’ve never seen anyone from my friend list, etc, appealing an account moderation. I highly doubt that almost every support employee is so ignorant and unprofessional.

i’m sure it’s real people but do you really think they care about your account? probably not, so they copy and paste their responses for the sake of time

While they might not care about your account, thier job is to reply to your appeals. No matter what you say, they will always state that moderation was fair and won’t be adjusted.

“Our moderation is fair and unbiased” is the ROBLOX equivalent of “Random crits are fair and balanced”

Roblox Support Team really doesn’t care about your issues. Some time ago i had a question related to personalization thumbnails analytics, and why it’s always 0 impressions. I chatted with :robot: a lot to get him understand the situation, and final message i got is reference to roblox API that doesn’t help me.

For a start, all of the replies above have nothing to do with this issue, so they can be ignored

Secondly, I’m not sure you’re going to get very far with filing this bug report as your only evidence is an X post on the issue. There’s no reproduction steps—no one knows how they do this, meaning engineers have nothing to work with. Until more information is outed from maybe the individuals who have been affected by these bans as to how they happened, I’m assuming not much will be done here.

I got false reported by people abusing the DSA form, and I got wrongfully terminated. Roblox really needs to fix this

Also notice how “user091441” don’t have any active game or is part of a game group as a developer, makes me think the verified badge is most likely bought from the black market as they are selling bans on it aswell, so why not? Everyday that passes I put less faith in this moderation, despite him doing all this he gets no bans?

He’s a scammer who is pretty known in the Roblox Community. Most of everything he has is not rightfully his.

If someone put the reproduction steps here, then it could be abused by people who want to do this, but can’t because they don’t know how :man_facepalming: . And there is already a description of how this exploit works anyway:

Exactly, I think the reason for the false terminations is because of an exploit that generated a moderation bug, which is why my main account was falsely terminated on March 30th. It’s been 35 days, which is why Roblox still hasn’t fixed the bug. That’s why I try to fight to be unbanned My reason, why my main account got false terminated I suggest you see my devforum post and I know what I’m talking about, that’s why I’m trying to unban my main Roblox account.

It hit me today too, as well as a friend of mine. My friend’s account has already been terminated, I myself am still on a 7 day ban.

I ask the Roblox moderation team to look into the matter immediately.

Yeah, and my main account still terminated it’s happen 44 days after than my main account got terminated, i still waiting to get unbanned

I had myself (OssieNomae), developer (nullstrafe) and community manager (moniacally) all terminated for “inappropriate content”. I was banned myself on the 12/5/2025, yet to get a response from my email. The other 2 bans happened minute(s) apart on the 14/5/2025. It has become very apparent that our group is being targeted.

These bans all affect our schedules in working on new content that directly affects our income as well as our morale. Appealing all of our bans is incredibly frustrating, to the point that makes us question if working on the roblox platform is even worth it.

To be clear, all 3 of us directly run a closed community football game called “Professional Roblox Soccer”, which has existed for 10 years now.

The fact that they issued such a vague moderator note should, above all, be considered an issue in itself. Like, what exactly was moderated that led to this action? Was a model in your game deleted? Or was it triggered by a specific message? There’s no way to know, especially if the moderator note only says “you violated our Terms of Use” without providing any further details.

I believe you may be able to resolve this more effectively through the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution (MIDR) outlined in Section 11 of the Roblox Terms of Use, especially if Roblox Support fails to assist. Since the violation is not clearly stated, I would expect this to be resolved in a relatively short time.

My own ban is apparently linked to a plugin that I have uploaded and open-sourced called “Roana”, this plugin was mostly for just personal use. Here’s the github link: GitHub - OssieNomae/Roana: Roblox Studio plugin that enhances user-defined function documentation with Tags and Limited Markdown

I have censored the ID to avoid possible further abuse.

For the other 2 ban messages, they literally got nothing.

moniacally and myself are EU residents and both have invoked our rights under the Digital Services Act (DSA), so we can hopefully gain more transparency and/or issue solved as soon as possible. If necessary we will look into filing claims in the incoming days.
