Issues with Restoring Deleted UGC Dynamic Head Bundles and Missing Appeal Options

I am experiencing 2 major issues with the restoration process and appeals for deleted bundles (Dynamic Heads) on Roblox, and I’d like to report these problems to seek a resolution.

The first issue involves bundles that I successfully appealed. After submitting an appeal for several deleted bundles, I received confirmation from the moderators that these items did not violate any rules. They assured me that the bundles would be restored within 3 days. However, despite this confirmation, the bundles have not been restored. For some of these cases, it has already been weeks since the appeal was accepted, and I am still waiting for the restoration.

The second issue occurs when only the dependencies (such as meshes or textures) of a bundle are removed. Since the bundle itself remains technically intact but its dependencies are missing, the system automatically marks the bundle as rejected (deleted). As a result:

  • No appeal panel is generated in the Violations & Appeals section for these bundles.
  • I do not receive any notification or moderation regarding the deletion.

Summary of Issues

  1. Unrestored Bundles After Accepted Appeals – Despite the moderators confirming that several deleted bundles did not violate any rules and promising restoration within three days, these bundles have not been restored even after weeks.

  2. No Appeal Option for Bundle Deletion Due to Dependencies Removal – When the dependencies (meshes or textures) of a bundle are deleted, the bundle itself is also deleted. However, since the deletion is caused by the removal of the dependencies, no appeal option is generated for the bundle under the “Violations & Appeals” section. Additionally, I do not receive any notifications or moderation messages regarding the deletion.

These two issues are causing delays and making it difficult to resolve the situation effectively.

This leaves me with no clear way to address the issue.

To resolve this, I have had to contact Roblox Support and the UGC Appeals team directly. However, despite confirming that the deletion of the bundles did not violate any rules, the bundles still have not been restored after more than 3 days.

Bundle IDs Affected:
776097, 777795, 393540, 394053, 401725, 418096, 1182196, 1219499, 1227099, 1227397, 1220498, 1218896, 1223196, 1232896, 1233197, 1221797, 1219495, 1231296, 1222697, 1225796, 1228795, 1219295, 1229195, 1228395, 1217096, 1180702, 1174695, 1185796, 1177497, 1213396, 1211796, 1186901, 1183597, 1179800, 1178399, 1183297, 1189900, 1190198, 1188701, 1185495, and 1189495.

Expected Behavior:
I believe the following improvements should be made to address these issues:

  • Bundles with accepted appeals should be restored within the specified three-day period as promised.
  • Agents handling appeals should be informed about this issue to ensure they complete the restoration process properly.
  • For bundles where only the dependencies are deleted:
    • An appeal panel should be generated in the “Violations & Appeals” section for bundles, allowing creators to submit appeals.
    • Notifications should be sent to creators when their bundles are deleted.

Screenshot References Showing Moderators Confirming Bundles Do Not Violate Rules:
I will provide screenshots of several emails where moderators confirm that the bundles do not violate any rules.

We’ve identified the root cause for what is causing the bundle appeals to not reverse correctly.

We are working on a fix and expect to have it done by middle of January.

A very laborious work around involves the following:

  1. If a mesh or texture is moderated for the given bundle, please get it restored first.
  2. Please get the affected body part(s) restored next
  3. Finally, please get the bundle restored.

We are currently fixing this gap and sequencing need in our systems

Thank you for the report

Thanks for marking this as a solution. Just to clarify, in early January, we will have fixed this via automation and are tracking to that.

Thank you and happy holidays

I didn’t know that marking replies as a solution would automatically close it after a certain time, thank you for letting me know, and I removed it to ensure there are no changes in the bug report.

Once the bundles are restored, meaning fixed on my end, I can mark it as a solution to avoid bothering you with different bug reports and to stay on topic.

It’s great to hear that it will be fixed quickly through automation. Thank you for keeping me updated, and happy holidays to you too!
