It seems as though the Confederate flag and uniforms, etc is allowed on Roblox, I think it’s a good thing due to the historical part of it. I personally do not believe in their ideals and such but in Roblox ToS it states that, “The Roblox Moderation team will block inappropriate content within these rules. The list below provides some examples of inappropriate content but is not exhaustive. Symbols and flags associated with discrimination (e.g. Confederate flags)”.
However, in a game called Rise of Nations and various other games relating to war their is a image of the Confederate flag and they state their entire name, “Confederate States of America” in the game. These games have been up a while without any sort of moderation so my guess as this is a rule that is either overlooked or just plain not moderated anymore. I just want to be able to have some clarification on this.
Confederate flags are still not permitted on Roblox. Point 5 of the Community Rules outlines that symbols and flags associated with discrimination, to which Confederate flags are provided as the example, are not allowed on the platform.
Symbols and flags associated with discrimination (e.g. Confederate flags);
Why are those games being allowed though? They clearly used a image and uploaded it without any filter on it, did it bypass or something? Game has not been taken down at all either.
A really good rule of thumb is to follow Roblox’s TOS. Don’t do what other games are doing if they’re breaking TOS. If they have Confederate flags (or confederate material in general), which you said they do, odds are their game is just a ticking time bomb and waiting to get deleted.
Always use the Roblox terms of service as a golden rule so you know what to stay away from.
Roblox doesn’t police content. You can help moderation investigate issues on the site by using the Report Abuse button. Moderation is also additionally highly context-based so that could be a factor in deciding whether or not they’ve decided to take action.
Should’ve left an obligatory mention that I am not staff and cannot provide an authoritative answer.
Sorry for necroposting, but from what I am aware, the types of Confederate flags that are banned are the battle and war flags. I’ve seen the Bonnie Blue and “Stars and Bars” not taken down, only the battle flag or confederate saltire (a red flag with a blue “X” and stars on it), but I am not sure if those two flags really fall under that rule. Rise of Nations still uses the Stars and Bars flag on their game, which makes me confused if the rule extends to that design or not.
