Unfortunately, previous usernames being removed from user profiles isn’t a permanent change. The only thing that will be permanent is no longer being able to see one’s previous usernames in Search. Previous usernames will be visible again on user profiles in early December.

I completely agree with the OP, especially since some usernames actually destroy your privacy. Its been a requested feature for so long now, it would be so cool to actually hide your usernames.

Or if you picked a username that was younger or didn’t know meant something bad, you could be able to remove specific names from the list or hide the list entirely.

Has there been any more developments on this? Or is the the latest. Feels like nothing has changed at all.

I’ve had a similar issue in regards to one of my past usernames from when I was far younger exposing personal information that I don’t want seen publicly. I once asked Roblox support directly if they could remove that username from my profile, but they callously informed me that they would rather not go through the process if it isn’t directly affecting “user safety” (Even though it actually is). I think Roblox should take this issue more seriously, and actually address it with the delicacy it deserves. This is the only online platform on the internet that shows previous usernames openly, and I find that to be absolutely ridiculous. At the very least, allow users to select who can see past usernames (Followers, Friends, No One, etc)

There is no reason for there not to be a feature that hides past usernames. It’s a basic security and privacy setting.
