Game suddenly de-listed after account got banned for one day, and not re-listed after unban

[XxMattvdbraakXx (IayZBoy)]

So, a game i am a developer of, Flex Your Ping And FPS! by @Kaks4pex
Was suddenly de-listed from search and recents right after my account was banned for one day

I do not know why, since the game itself did not break any TOS or TOU, as well as CG
We continuously banned exploiters, edaters, etc.
So i do not see the reason as to why the game should be de-listed in the first place

Sure, it has an obfuscated localscript, but that it to protect the game from spoofers (since exploiters would try and decompile the client script to spoof their data)

But even after using the localscript source code, the game did not get re-listed.

I have tried:
Exact match search (quotes)
Checking recents of any account i played the game on

And yet, the game is still de-listed
But, anyone with the direct link can join and play just fine

Here is the attempt of doing an exact quote search

Here is me being in the game itself, showing that i, and others, can still play it using the direct link.

Game:

Flex Your Ping And FPS!

So if anyone can tell or show why this is happening, it would be highly appreciated.

I believe hangout games were delisted due to policy updates. You should have received a message by roblox in your inbox stating that you should appeal. As a reference, here is the full message:

Try contacting Roblox Support under the “Moderation” > “My account was wrongly moderated for other content i created” catagory and link your game and explain your situation. Make sure to go through the content maturity questionaire again before appealing

Am i able to submit the appeal under my own account since i am a collaborator, or does the game owner need to submit it (which would be difficult as since he does not have good english)

Aforementioned, this is a duplicate:

Game suddenly shadowbanned with no warning

My game angel’s sensory room disappeared from players’ Continue, Favorites, and Search suddenly around 7 PM Central today. We have had a consistent playerbase, have monetization active, etc., but it just randomly up and vanished. It would make sense if there was a warning associated with this, but I didn’t get one at all. I’ll contact support as well and keep the thread posted. This issue has been documented a few times: Game got shadow banned on search results I think my game got shadowban…

I believe the owner of the game needs to contact the Appeals Team. You can check this article for more information

[XxMattvdbraakXx (IayZBoy)]

Well
It is rather unclear
would collaborators with edit access not be able to appeal for the owner then?
Since i myself have a much better understanding of the english language.

[13_5G (Soundmoji)]

I think only the owner of the game can submit a appeal

Roblox also supports multiplie languages via the support portal

[XxMattvdbraakXx (IayZBoy)]

This is still unclear
as, the game owner did not have anything affect his account
And the game delisting happened directly after i was banned

I don’t think people who had their game unlisted received a direct warning or ban but instead a message in the inbox (The one i showed you at the first reply) for hangout specific games due to a policy update which is stated here:

@RbxRocketMan

Why has my experience been taken down/disappeared from search?

• Experiences we identified as potentially being impacted by the policies we announced yesterday were made temporarily unavailable. This includes most experiences with the Social Hangout descriptor. If you are unable to find your experience via the search bar in Roblox, it may have been one of the experiences impacted.We encourage you to retake the Content Maturity questionnaire and answer the new questions that apply to this policy update, and then submit an appeal here. You can find the correct steps to appeal below.

This policy update happened around Today and Yesterday which means it is highly unlikely that your account punishment has caused this. I also looked through the game you linked and it is marked as a social hangout which is the type of games which were affected by this

If the ban you mentioned isn’t connected with the game at all nor are you the owner of the game then i don’t think you can cause the game to be unlisted

[XxMattvdbraakXx (IayZBoy)]

I asked roblox staff either way if i could potentially appeal for the owner

And, if an obfuscated client script is allowed to hide the core of the game from exploiters

Game has been re-listed on the platform.
