I was permanently banned because of a place from a group I am no longer a member of and have no authority over

Hello everyone,

I’m bringing this issue to the forum because the Appeals Team has completely ignored the evidence I provided and seems to have blindly followed a result generated by an automated system.

Here’s the situation:

On 06/04/25, my account was permanently banned for child exploitation after an update was made to a test place that I used to have access to as a developer for in-game features. However, I left that development group 3–4 months ago, and I no longer had any permissions or role there at the time of the incident.

It seems I was held responsible only because I originally created the place on 08/12/24. The violation, however, happened much later.

On May 18, a user maliciously changed the name of that place to something that violates Roblox’s child safety policies. This was part of a toxic rivalry between military roleplay groups, where some individuals were trying to get others banned to eliminate competition.

After this happened, both the group owner and the user who changed the place name were banned. However, the group owner successfully appealed, explaining that they weren’t responsible for the content change. Roblox understood it was a misuse and lifted the ban on the group owner.

Unfortunately, and I still don’t know how, the same place received an update on 06/04/25 at 12:21 PM, which then triggered a ban on my account. I wasn’t even aware of it until a day later because I haven’t been very active on Roblox recently.

I contacted Support and explained that I did not perform any recent actions, edits, or updates to that place, and I haven’t been one of its developers for months. I made it clear that I had nothing to do with what caused the ban. Sadly, the Appeals Team dismissed everything I said and told me the decision would not be reversed.

I’ll provide all the evidence below, and I will censor the altered place name to avoid violating community guidelines.

If there is anyone here who can help, or knows someone at Roblox who can look at this fairly, I would deeply appreciate it. I don’t want to lose an account I’ve spent years and money on, especially over something I had no part in.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Here is the name change that was made to the place before my account was banned:

If you have any ideas or suggestions that could help me with this situation, please let me know.
The appeal team refuses to engage with me in any meaningful way, and when I ask for more detailed evidence, they simply say they can’t provide it.
My account is being banned unfairly, and I really don’t want to lose five years of effort and dedication over something I didn’t do.

It seems that my account was finally unbanned, likely because they realized I had been banned unfairly. I noticed the Roblox tab refreshed and opened normally again — although I haven’t received an official email yet, everything appears to be working fine for now.

I’m genuinely happy that the truth has come to light.

To anyone reading this who may also have been falsely banned: even if you are told that no further action will be taken, don’t give up. If you truly have evidence, keep pushing forward and make your case. Sometimes the system gets it wrong — but persistence matters.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read and understand my situation.
