Introducing the Ban API and Alt Account Detection

No, not possible during this time, at least not on games with team create hosted by a single user. Should however work with groups.

My guess is it would just see more than one account playing from the same IP address and call that an alt-account, no clue though.

I assume you can still ban single accounts without having to strictly follow the ban guidelines though; if you don’t use BanAsync()?

Any update on the group permission being separate for being able to use the Analytics > Moderations > Bans window? Needing edit access to moderate users doesn’t make much sense.

Am I supposed to be allowed to ban myself + my colleagues?

Alt detection does NOT work

I would recommend not to ban yourself.
I made a mistake banning myself because I wanted to test out that update they had couple of months ago and I unable to unban myself so I had to unban myself then open my second account to join where I got banned then when I join, it worked.

Sure, it can’t work. Roblox made this feature for a sense of false security. There’s hundreds of ways to bypass it.

I think that not having the possibility to modify the ban is quite horrendous, even through the dashboard. It lacks this really important feature

It would be so cool to integrate the bans directly on the Roblox homepage (if you are banned from a game, you would have a lock on the play button, more clean than getting kicked from the game in my opinion)

Is this suggesting that the Kick API may be depreciated further down the road?

The biggest turn down of this API is the text filter. During the time that I have been using it, the majority of simple reasons got filtered. It honestly makes me want to return to using the old method.

In my opinion, there should be a filter. Though it shouldn’t be as harsh as it is right now: it should only filter words, which actually violate Roblox’s Terms of Service.

I looked up to this update when it first came out. However, after doing practical tests, I might want to reconsider my point of view, unless something is done with the horrible text filter.

Most common reasons, which get filtered:

  • “Outlining, violating Rule 6 in Classic Nations.”
  • “Intentionally blocking others from expansion, violating Rule 6 in Classic Nations.”
  • “Controversial nation customization, violating Rule 9 in Classic Nations.”
  • “Violation of Roblox’s Terms of Service, violating Rule 11 in Classic Nations.”

I would be assuming it’s caused by the specific format I am using. But I don’t see a reason why it should be filtered in the first place!
