Is crashing the players device against TOS?

I’m making a crash command similar to the HD Admin one, with a while true do end loop. I’m worried about a whole lot of things being allowed on Roblox Studio TOS, so I wish to know if this is allowed?

Thanks!
[I also have a 'jumpscare command planned, I don’t know about that one]

No, “crashing” the client doesn’t violate the TOS.

Executing a while loop without a delay doesn’t crash the client’s device; it disconnects them. Scripts running on the client run in a sort of sandboxed environment, and thus can’t directly interfere with their device.

The client’s connection to the server will freeze due to the excessive usage from the while loop, which eventually causes them to time-out and disconnect. That’s why the “check your internet connection” message occurs afterword, because the reason for being disconnected was due to a network error.

This is no different from calling :Kick() on the player. Both ways forcefully disconnect them.
