Limiting AI Moderation to 1 day bans

ok?.. And?..

It’s a non sequitur if it has no point. This is a thread talking about Roblox moderation, and it’s extreme lack; Not a global politics thread.

Nobody is saying to get rid of “all of them”. This is a game with 3.8 million plays and 600+ active players on the front page.

Getting rid of it is widely considered a bare minimum in effort.
There is no reason to mention literally anything you have mentioned.

do you not realize many more of these exist on the front page and beyond
they may not involve robux but other in-game items or accessories
they also have the same if not larger stats than the one you mentioned

Okay?.. Thanks for the comment I guess.

This could have been a more neutral addition to the conversation about how Roblox’s inadequate moderation goes farther than we think, but instead it feels like an awkward call-out where you’re stating information that supports what I said as if it’s contrary to what I said.

Yes. Roblox moderation bad. That’s kind of the point of the topic indeed. You discovered the point of the topic - Congratulations.

I still don’t understand the purpose of your responses to me. It might be best if you just call it a night.

Personally, I have not seen what you describe, but if it’s as bad as you think by all means please share that information, your experience, and how it has impacted you - It’s good information, but not in the way you’re wielding it currently. “Scamming isn’t allowed anywhere and also did you know there’s even more scamming than you think?” just feels like a weird series of replies here.

Mind telling me what the terroristic part of that image is, or the part of that image is that makes it a real life tragedy? Nobody died and nobody blew up as far as I know

Also, I once was BANNED FOR 1 DAY for making a server-side script builder (So I could easily run code in my own games to test them)…

Someone did die, actually. The event itself does count as a real life tragedy since its a real image from that event from someone committing a heinous act of violence. If AI moderation detected that, I’m impressed because it’s not one of the more well known photographs from July.

(btw, I’m not even making any direct reference to that “event” as I’m replying to this comment due my own uncertain how sensitive moderation on the Dev forum can be)

This needs to be added. Having your account terminated just because an AI made a mistake is absolutely horrible. Especially since roblox support is not the fastest in the world, and even that is mostly bots, the only way you get a real human is if you phone roblox. Even then you have a chance of being ignored.

The development discussions threads talk about moderation a lot but no roblox staff seem to have an opinion on it.

There’s countless more. Literally just search up “moderation” on the search bar, make it #development-discussion filtered and boom you have a countless amount of threads.

Insane.

I think it should be clear that you shouldn’t give automated moderation this much power over the platform
Infact, apparently someone got terminated over having specific badges with inappropriate stuff (which were GIVEN OUT BY THE GAME). And I genuinely dont understand on why not removing badges instead of taking harsh action.
If anything, there should be humans involved in this too, not just automation. I know it doesn’t sound as easy as it does, but it’s about time.

How about just a review instead? Just assuming and banning like the ai does is the worst. If they bothered to have someone review the report, like a flag system for example then I think I and many other uses would be better off.

Really depends what they did. This is a super stupid reason to be worried to update your game. Also are you sure its real? People can easily fake these.

technically my case isnt as bad as getting banned, but i got warned for uploading a gamepass that “contained” a link, taking people off-site. ill just say, THERE WAS NOTHING. NO LINK. IT WAS A PHOTO OF 5GUM.

i contacted roblox support, they did absolutely nothing because they needed to verify ownership of the account (it was a different account, i didnt have an email added)

now yes, maybe i shouldnt upload gum pictures on roblox (even though thousands of people did and do), but come on, atleast specify it was for copyright or something

literally, if you want to take a look just look it up and the first result that shows up in images is the one I uploaded

Recently had my main account terminated through an “enforcement ban” for being an alt of my brother, who was also banned. ROBLOX banned my brother for an asset he uploaded in 2018, for “terrorism”. We don’t know what the asset is (because it was uploaded over 6 years ago) so we can’t even tell if the moderation was legitimate. On my end, I’m like 7 appeals deep, all generic copy paste denials, and I can’t even reply with evidence of account ownership. It’s outrageous.

It is crazy that moderation won’t even show the evidence to back their claim.
No platform should be allowed to do that.

Arbitrary bans or moderations on digital platforms is something that is causing me a lot of conflict and anger lately, it cannot be possible that people’s accounts are closed for false positives when many people depend on it to live, for some reason the AI that these large multi-million dollar companies use is so ineffective, I definitely agree with you, when AI is used to moderate, at most they should give a warning until a human reviews the case.

I recently received a message and email that my game was removed for “Spam” which is completely false, my game is a simple donation game like any other, made 100% by myself, and Roblox support has not given me any answers yet.

In this new digital age, I do not agree with social networks/digital platforms baning users’ accounts so easily, since with the monopoly that exists today it is difficult to find a similar application that you can use as a replacement, because yes, in many cases they delete all your alternative accounts (and in other cases they don’t even let you create more accounts). I have been a victim of moderations on Roblox and other platforms unfairly, and the worst thing is that sometimes they don’t even give you the reason for what you supposedly did wrong.

Anyway, this is something that has to end sooner or later, and I hope it happens as soon as possible!!!

Got moderated for harassment saying the word “again” once and a human or even an AI denied the appeal, AI must be used for moderations this length already especially saying how fast and awful they are.

I’m not one who has been specifically affected by this, but this must be devastating to see all of your limiteds and years worth of built up work gone. This needs to be addressed ASAP… AI should’ve NEVER had a say on one of the most important aspects of the platform in the first place. A termination is wild for something that doesn’t even have cultural knowledge of Roblox either.

However… I really doubt Roblox is going to do anything anytime soon. They’re more focused on being investigated by the SEC and looking good for their pristine investors.

Voicing my support for this request. This platform is turbulent; a whole studio can be impacted by a misjudgment of AI on moderation. PLEASE limit AI moderation so we don’t have to jump through hoops when it makes a mistake and bans your entire account after a mystery arbitrary number or severity of infractions.

I can relate;
Before, I was met with a notice that one of my assets had been taken down for apparent misusing roblox systems. I do say that the way the bot works is quite awkward, and I think it should be finicky…
Fortunately;


I still think it is awkward how roblox auto moderation is either way…youre always in jeopardy with either getting banned for something randomly, or not. Its just a coin flip when it comes to assets…smh.
