uhm… they talk about it to a very limited degree and really don’t answer the necessary information.
It says the rules must be accessible to all users, so I imagine that means it must be in the group or game description? Because if the rules are on Discord, they are not accessible to all users. It says we can only give platforms, such as message me on Twitter or Discord group, however, if the user is under 13, they can’t see the Social links, and therefore they can’t actually do so because you can’t mention the account to contact or give a link.
Going on the vague information provided, it would seem that if we use ban appeals and rules off Roblox on something like Discord, our experiences would have to be 13+, otherwise we will encounter people who could be banned but can not appeal.
(I guess we can also count having the rules in the game, but that still doesn’t change contacting for ban appeals)
Nothing about engaging with experiences is mentioned at all.
Nothing about managing the suspected alt accounts is mentioned at all.
My game is ages 9+, so I have no way to tell a user age 9 to 12 how to appeal a ban unless I opened up my messages to all users and that would be insane.
How bans are handled is also reflective of engagement. Having banned accounts retaliate and downvote the game after getting caught exploiting is rather annoying. Currently, I just leaderboard ban them quietly (they still see themselves, but others don’t).
Handling alt accounts is important, especially being able to unban a suspected alt that was wrongfully banned. Especially if wrongfully banned players can downvote the game.
Maybe Roblox’s system missed your alt and didn’t flag it as a suspected alt?
I’m curious about this myself. Like I live in a house where everyone plays Roblox, so I wonder if we’re all suspected alts of one another.
This is great! Been waiting for a feature like this for quite some time! One question though, can you ban people from your game at your own discretion, or does it have to be warranted under Roblox’s TOS?
Say for instance you didn’t want someone in your game for your own reasons, them or their alt accounts, could you choose to ban them or would this be misuse of the API?
I would say that the idea is good, but the release was hell. For example this account which is my main account got terminated and my friends main accounts got terminated. Innocent accounts were deleted and caught in the crossfire. And you can’t even create a new account on Roblox without it being instantly terminated upon joining any game.
This system has good intention but is not proper. I had spent money on this account and now ive lost everything.
I’d just keep going at it with appeals. You have a month to get through to them before the account is actually deleted. Fairly sure that the appeals team will get back to you with an actual reason at some point (or some other support team).
Good luck!
(BTW what does the page when you log in say for the ban reason)
Roblox answered my message with quote “Our moderation team has completed its review. This action still violates the under Misusing Roblox Systems. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”
This is just very frustrating since how can my account still break the Terms of Service when it is terminated.
As BucketOPaint said “that is jarring and roblox have done a major fudge up”.
If i don’t get my account back ill just switch to Godot or Unity, its really that simple
This crap is useless anyways. Why can’t developers just put a simple script in their games that checks the accounts age before letting them in. If the age is too low, kick them upon joining.
Here is a script that lets you do this. Place it in ServerScriptService:
local MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE = 2 --// in days
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if player.AccountAge < MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE then
player:Kick(“Your account needs to be at least “…MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE…” days old to play”)
end)
They said “determined” which means no solid evidence and also said “or” which means uncertainty from their side. The only option is to continuously message em and tell them to be more detailed and to fix this bs
