Game Removed for ‘Real-World Tragic Events’ – How to Safely Republish?

Greetings
Hi, I don’t usually post here much, but I recently had a problem with one of my games that was removed from the platform. now I know this is not a ban appeal forum, but I want to see if you developers or admins can help me figure out what can i do to get the game running again on the platform.

Summary
My only game, titled “Delta Nuclear Power Plant,” is about managing a nuclear power plant, roleplaying and generating electricity. The game previously fell under the ‘Simulation’ category. My game is small but had 975k views and 50 active players.

What happened?
Yesterday, I received a warning and my game was removed from the platform for the reason “Real-world tragic events.”

Now, I can’t think of why this could have happened. My game has been on the platform for over 4 years, and I even completed the Content Maturity and Compliance questionnaire, and moderation rated it as suitable for all ages. I want to clarify that my game does not violate any of Roblox’s terms. The only “real-life tragic event” I can think of that could be related to the sanction is the Chernobyl accident, but my game has no connection to that, nor is it mocking it or recreating it. My game is just a simple and generic representation of a nuclear power plant

Moderator Note:

Same situation with other games

I’ve seen similar games on the platform with the same theme and goal of simulating nuclear reactors, but my game was the only one to be moderated. And although most of the games are only for simulation and roleplay and do not intend to violate Roblox’s terms of service, other games go even further by being exact recreations of real-life events such as Chernobyl.

What can i do?

Following the process for appealing moderated content on the platform, I filled out an appeal but the sanctions were not reversed, and my game is still not available to players. I am asking for your help to find out how can I republish my game again without any problems, as I do not want to receive another warning or possibly a ban. I need your opinion on this. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

you could try to get support to tell you exactly what about the game is being moderated, or ask them for more context, generally reuploading a banned game would get you into more trouble so i dont suggest it, just try to work something out with roblox support (which is very hard to do soemtimes).

I cannot file another appeal if it has already been rejected, so should I just try replying to the moderator’s response message in my appeal asking why exactly my game was banned?

yeah you can try that, but it might not work other than that i dont have much of an idea.

they ban your game but let a lot of other games based on real world tragedies stay up lol, what a joke
