Howdy everyone!
I wanted to make a bug report for the players who aren’t able to make one themselves.
This seems like it’s happening to dozens of thousands of players and there’s no immediate solution.
It appears that whatever moderation tool being used to ban users for evading enforcement bans is being used maliciously and/or incorrectly flagging users who aren’t involved with this type of punishment.
When trying to appeal, you are typically given instant-rejection by AI. (talking about within 30 seconds,) Seeing as how you only have a thirty day window to appeal before you can never appeal again, it puts a lot of pressure to put constant appeals until a human moderator actually sees your response.
One of the players from my game, AstraSkillful, had their account terminated completely and has received over 26 rejections to appeals despite not evading any punishments on other accounts. It also refuses to give any hint on what they were banned for.
I’ve got a hunch that it’s flagging users who are banned that share the same IP; since most individuals play ROBLOX from a college campus and share similar IPs from there.
As a solution, (If I recall correctly too) there used to be a copy pasta you can paste into the appeal to get it auto-corrected. Maybe there could be a code or something players can use to get a human agent?
Someone who isn’t a youtuber or popular developer shouldn’t have to make a big scene just to get their account back.
I do thoroughly believe that this is an issue with the system, and it needs to be fixed.
For non-ROBLOX staff engineers/developers who’ve been affected by this, be sure to reply!
Expected behavior
Enforcement bans should apply to the actual rulebreakers. False-positives should be correctly revised and reviewed by the system.
Users who aren’t involved shouldn’t be flagged by the system for sharing similar details. (Public IPs / campus IPs / birthdays (?))
Moderation shouldn’t auto-reject these appeals.
