Before I say anything, it may look like this game does contain self harm or suicide, this is a Russian roulette game. but the game does not have anything of the sort
The original idea of the game was as follows: two players would play rock paper scissors and the loser would take the gun and attempt to shoot themselves, but I predicted that the game would get taken down for this specific reason so I decided to slightly change the gameplay.
I made it that the winner would take the gun and attempt to shoot the other player which is supposed to get rid of the āSelf harm and suicideā moderation.
I tried appealing and Iām currently waiting for a response but in the meantime I need someone to think with me, Is this a valid moderation or not? is there anything I can do beside appealing?
i am not sure but
if they didnāt accept the appeal ask them that you forgot to change the age recommendations āand ask for a āhumanā moderator to handle your requestā
and asking for a human moderator is important because there is a high chance that an ai will handle your request and not a real person
its not like the original game you shot the other one with the gun instead of shotting yourself
there are many games on roblox doing that for along time just search for āRouletteā
making the game 13+ will be good
The reason is valid because if Iām not mistaken in a āgun rouletteā game you point the gun at your own head and shoot, where on other games that contain guns you shoot other players. I assume you also tried to make the game realistic in a real world like manner, which doesnāt your case.
Something similar to a roulette is done in the game āBreaking Pointā, where a player gets a gun and can choose to shoot any other player(not themselves) and the gun has a small possibility to jam, meaning that it doesnāt fire at all. That game has been around for years and Roblox seems okay with it.
So I think this is very clear, they donāt want you to give the player the ability to end their own lives, either directly or through a proxy(like you reference in the post). Unless of course thereās some sort of competitive feeling or randomness to it(for example in breaking point the shooter choses who to kill, not the person that dies from it).
Them dying is decided directly by what they pick during rock paper scissors. So itās the decision of the subject rather than the shooter, thatās what I meant when I said in my response that they use a proxy to basically allow a player to kill themselves. Although I doubt Roblox went that far into analyzing it, it may actually just be the thumbnail.
A way they can get around my main point is if the player that gets the gun and can kill you because you lost, has the option not to. That way for the game loser it will be like staying still in a competitive game, most likely they will be shot, but it will be the killer decision instead of theirs.
I updated the age rating and Iām trying again, the current name of the game is [Content Deleted] and I donāt think I can change that, what else can I do?
