as much as I hate people dressing up with indecent exposures I see this as a win

These really bad avatars should simply not exist in the first place especially considering the mass amount of young children on this platform. I hope this may be the closest we have to preventing these avatars from being seen. Although we cannot do much for avatar renders on the profile pages or headshots/full-body thumbnails/busts visible throughout the site. I hope to see systems like these widely used within experiences.

Not sure why they would remove it?
All it does is format the kick message, letting you make it more pretty :3

Just a little update on my personally made blacklist for those Female Chest UGCs:
I’ve been working on a system that lets me look through the marketplace in a game based on a specific keyword (those being the ones UGC creators use to name them) and I loop through each and every single one of them. Is it a pain in the butt? Yes. But someones gotta do something about the Degenerates :3 So I’ll release the list in a few days? 1 - 3 give or take.

They were actually disabled at one point, but were restored 2 years later when the Ban API was released:

Hey OP I’ve got an idea which might complement yours. What if you were to make a tinder like mechanic to show store items to people in a game, and the people can decide whether it should be bannable or not. It could be implemented in a minigame on loading screens with 3-5 items to rate and some sort of reward for rating. This way you don’t put all the moderation in the hands of the developer, and you can offload it a bit on the players.
and someone has decided to “joke” a bit, and ranked all as inapopriate. And due to unbelievable odds, entire server was full of such “jokers”, and all accessories got banned.
Thanks.
There are many ways to handle this type of moderation held by players. Of course you shouldn’t have the final deciding factor be in the players hands. You may have a system to store the votes for the UGC’s and once it reaches a certain number of votes, let’s say for example 1000, then you may either process it automatically as in, if the item has 80% negative votes, ban it, otherwise don’t.
Or if you really want to review them yourself, you may also have an admin system in which you can display the UGC content that surpassed the threshold of votes and decide whether it’s a bad one or not. The sky is the limit in how this may be implemented, but I stand by my opinion that it would be good to involve the playerbase as well.

The idea of this Asset(?) is to let the developer(s) decide what they want in their games, of course with how I advertised it, it’s obvious what it was made for, but that isn’t it’s only purpose. You can also use it to blacklist large, obtrusive accessories. And like previously mentioned, I am currently working on a Discord Server to involve the player base like you mentioned. I won’t release it just yet, despite the server and webhooks being made until I release another Asset that will give you the opportunity to create your own reporting system and send reported items through a webhook into a dedicated channel in your own server. However, the reason why I am making my own server is to let smaller devs to use pre-made lists dedicated to different use cases (Blacklisting inappropriate and obstructive UGCs for example) and to also lower the load of constantly up-keeping those lists by myself.

Isn’t it kind of concerning that we’re having to create stuff like this in the first place?
Is this not something Roblox should be concerned about?

With how Roblox Moderation is, unless we make them risk their money with some sort of wake up call, I doubt they’ll do anything. Take Ruben Sim as an example, he’s been fighting degenerates on Roblox for ages and how did Roblox Respond? By suing him. Hell, he had a better mod team that genuinely did ban a lot of weirdos off of Roblox when he was being watched by Roblox. (Not sure if he still is though.)

by the time any asset is added to the list it will be deleted by roblox
Are you sure we’re talking about the same roblox?
Do you even realize how long these inappropriate (Female Chest for example) accessories have existed for? Roblox won’t do anything about them. And even if some of them get banned, they’ll keep on getting released over and over again, since Roblox is too dense to moderate the person for their multiple violations.

i’m not necessarily planning to use this, but;
looking through the catalog to find melons is not exactly the most fun thing to do
what if you made some sort of “program” that looks through the catalog for you, finds inappropriate items and gives out their ids in an array?
(i’m joking)
nvm bro this sucks never cook again
can’t believe this is the result of a simple topic you made
they grow up so fast…
Yeah, that’s what I am sort of doing, since they usually follow a specific naming scheme (For example “1.0” “2.0” “3.0” “Female” “Top”, ect) I wrote a roblox script using the MarketplaceService and I’ve been sifting through the accessories by hand, since there are still quite a bit of false positives.
Although… if I find a way to use AI, it could help me with this stuff even more, for example sending it different angles/light directions so it can get a proper sense of the object and then deciding if it looks like melons or not. With a secondary filter being me in case of false positives.
Guys, there is a way for me to make image recognition using Google Cloud. I may actually cook.
i’m not really th at good at programminhg so i can’t help you
but i truly hope you can achieve this and earn bajillions of dollars and retire at your age + 1
at the cost of roblox melons 
(i’m joking)
Ohh forgot about these ones, I thought you meant actual NSFW avatars
