Hats Flooding Hair Section Without Visible Hair

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to the Marketplace → Hair category.
  2. Scroll through listings and observe multiple items categorized as “Hair” that are in fact hats.
  3. Attempt to find actual hair items and notice they are buried beneath unrelated accessories.

Observed Behavior:

  • Large numbers of hats appear in the hair section with no visible hair included.
  • These miscategorized items dominate search results, making it difficult for players to find legitimate hair items.
  • This undermines the visibility and sales of authentic hair creators and accessory creators by undermining the current price of accessories.

Expected behavior

Suggested fix:

  • Strengthen moderation to prevent hats from being published in the “Hair” category unless they contain visible hair components.
  • Retroactively review existing items to ensure proper categorization, moderate items that do not follow the correct category.

Additionally, Roblox should take user reports a bit more seriously when these accessories are flagged by users for miscategorization. Any attempt to report these assets has resulted in a disappointing conclusion, being ignored or reports being declined for no real clear reason.
