I’ve been falsely banned for “Cheats and Exploits” apparently, I’ve only used a shader for Roblox but I never knew it was banned, I tried to appeal the ban, but they said I was in detections? I’m not waiting for 7 days just to get unbanned, I’m trying to work on my game but I can’t if I’m banned.
Expected behavior
I do expect myself to get unbanned as I have a lot of assets on my account and games that i’m working on, if I lose these, i’ll lose my group, my account, my rep, my robux, my avatar, EVERYTHING.
I am hoping Bitdancer will respond once I reach out to him about this as I do believe the way they are going about detections is not good and I think there is a much better way than trying to detect the executors. The route they are currently down is making it much more difficult for shaders & bloxstrap to not become falsely detected by accident.
Banning shaders on Roblox honestly seems straight-up dumb to me. If someone has a high-end PC and wants to take realism to the next level, why is that forbidden? I’d appreciate it if someone could explain.
The shaders he used may inject into the client to work. This is obviously not allowed. Roblox cannot give a pass to shaders, because then exploits would pretend to be shaders to bypass the anti-tamper.
If that’s the case, they should only allow trusted apps like Bloxstrap the one I used and get like their id im not sure if there is one, since I never worked with winforms and apps
They could have allowed a few trusted, open-source ones that are widely used by the community. The current situation is extremely disappointing for a multi-billion dollar company…
Again… exploits will try and pretend to be Bloxstrap to bypass the anti-tamper. If Roblox whitelists certain programs, it’s like adding a backdoor. It won’t help anybody.
Code injected into the Roblox client is subject to strict signature validation. If the validation fails, as it is the case for most shader tools, the injection falls under the category of client modification and is therefore acted upon as laid out here. Just to be clear, client modification has always been against the TOS (Section 8 - License to and Restriction of Services), but Roblox only recently chose to act upon it.
For the reasons explained above, this is not a bug; instead, it’s expected behavior, and I’m going to go ahead and close the issue.
I must have installed a wrong copy of bloxstrap that may have caused this ban that is also something that injects into the game, I’ll be sure to check my pc and anti virus software.
