What ? You can ban a unlimited amount of players…Imagine if you could only ban 50 that would be useless

You can only enter 50 IDs at a time.

I’m ngl them using this as an excuse for their failing API raises a big red flag for me. It’s not rational. Half a year of stagnation and the excuse we get is something a child would come up with.

Ohhh! i get it now, thank you!!
One question, sorry if these are already answered but I really don’t care. Does this apply to ALT accounts? If the Roblox Banning API detects an ALT account bypassing a ban issued on the main account, would it automatically result in a ban, and can this ban not be removed by game creators? Does the individual have to contact Roblox support specifically to have it removed?
It’s supposed to do this in 100% of cases. It does not do it in 100% of cases currently. In the cases that it does, yes, it applies a ban on detected alts after detecting that the main is banned. You can unban them from the Bans page on their main or alt by clicking the checkbox next to their name and clicking unban. You cannot see the username of the banned main when an alt is automatically banned, though.
This has happened to me before, as my friend @smarklot who logged onto my computer to play once got banned from an experience, and I was associated as his alt.
rip my 1058 robux i spent on the paid access game
(edit: would contacting roblox support help me in any way with this situation?)

This MUST be a feature of this tool.
It is essential that developers and moderators are able to see the associations between detected and banned accounts.
Take for example this real life scenario, which I experienced just recently:
A player comes asking for a ban appeal, and pinky promises that he wasn’t cheating, and writes a sob story. His account seems legit enough. Your own logs and documentation don’t seem to have any mention of the account in question. We’ll say that sometimes your mods get a bit lazy (they are human) and sometimes put one-word private ban reasons, like “exploiting,” or perhaps they were in a rush because they catch a cheater in-person and need them out asap. We’ll also assume that they are sometimes a bit trigger happy on bans, because they tire of exploiters, and occasionally ban very suspicious looking accounts without hard proof. What do you do in this scenario?
It’s okay to be concerned about the sibling problem, but please, don’t tie our hands in the process. Let us have proper tools to deal with issues like this, I beg you.
I predict and fear that we will be denied this feature because of “privacy concerns.”

I have an issue regarding to this new APi you’ve all set. Well, not me but my friend technically. He recently got banned on his main and upon switching to his roblox ranking account which is used for the group he holds with 900+ members, his acc was deleted. How can he appeal if his appeal is always rejected?
Why only 50? What if more than 50 people need to be banned?
You can ban 50 IDs at a time, not in total.
Hi Creators,
We would like to clarify an update we made about the Ban API management dashboard late last year.
Please note that at its current state, this dashboard contains only universe-level bans, i.e., bans created via the Engine method Players:BanAsync() with ApplyToUniverse set to true or the OpenCloud API method UpdateUserRestriction with the resource path /cloud/v2/universes/{universe_id}/user-restrictions.
To query place-level bans, please use the ListUserRestrictions API using the place-level resource paths per the OpenCloud documentation.
Thank you.

In this case, you should reach out to the experience creators with some explanation. Only they will be able to unban you.

Why can’t we see all bans on the dashboard? The limitation to Universe bans is making management harder for us as developers. I don’t see a reason for this behaviour at all. Please let me know if there is a reason for this.
And I have a feature request for the BanAPI: Allow to ban from just one specific private server by using the game.PrivateServerID. At the moment the Ban API is useless for Admins on Private Servers.

Theres a problem when trying to unban people after banning them with the HD ban panel when “ban alts” is turned on: The problem is I now have to unban the person twice, once on the banland panel and the other on the ban page for my game on the Creator Hub. This only happen when you ban the player with the HD ban panel.

Could Roblox add a way to provide an in-game appeal form? So that I will not have to send people to 3rd-party communication platforms (such as Google forms, etc.) to appeal their ban?

Agreed, would like to see this as well.
Let us give users the option to either appeal or not. If they are given the option there should be a additional button on the ban screen with which a user can write a appeal.
This appeal then should be put into a new section in the Creators page which should be able to be accessed by not only the creator of the game but also specific group ranks of a group (moderators, admins, etc.)

Even better, there should be an option to fire an event or something when a banned player joins instead of immediately kicking them. This lets us have “jail” spaces or our own appeal system while being able to use the ban manager and alt detection.
“by the creator” got removed from the kick message
very cool
