Introducing the Ban API and Alt Account Detection

This is amazing and long awaited, but will the alt detection get upgraded anytime soon? Exploiters have already found ways around it and can simply change a few settings and restart their computer to bypass it.

Alt Detection seems to be working a lot better now, thank you if you made any unannounced changes to it!

I heard that the ban API Sometimes it works very slowly

Hello, This was a really nice feature, i was actually looking to do something like this but i just realised roblox added it recently, the thing is that the users banned are appearing repeated times, and i dont know why,

I do not see myself using this feature due to these strict guidelines.

Creators should be allowed to ban anyone for whatever reason. It’s their game, and their world.

Will there be anything to improve alt detection? My staff and I had the fun of having to ban ~60 alt accounts that joined the game. The person behind it creates an account just to destroy teammates structures, ruining gameplay for others.

We’ve dubbed this the Battle of Gettysburg.

Alt-hoppers and mass-alters are probably the most common case for having this API yet sadly it completely fails for this use case. Hopefully they improve it or at least explain why they can’t detect these obvious alts.

Ban Guidelines could be argued as both good and bad. The main ones are just displaying your rules fairly and telling users how they can appeal to the developer.

I’ve been missing so much stuff while on deployment…

Very nice API, this will help to improve the experiences inside Roblox, I’ve been testing this new feature and UnBanAsync doesn’t seem to unban the player. (Doing it from Roblox Studio.)

If i use this API and my own ban system, will i get punish for using my ban system to ban player wrongfully or does not follow ban guidelines. Not that i want to do it, just curious

Getting a “There was a problem loading the table” error everytime I try using the Web Interface for banning.

The ban API only works in live servers and on the website. You can’t access it in studio.

Hi! Can you file a bug report with your universe ID and user ID information so that the team can investigate? Thank you!

This isn’t showing bans that are not applied to universe?

Absolutely flabbergasted that this is in a random reply to a post rather than a post within itself. This is absolutely a huge change. Only 2 things that would make it perfect would be to have the same dashboard but for kicks and the option to export this data for offline back up reasons.
