My account is banned for "cheating/exploiting" in my own game

One morning i log into Roblox, and im suddenly banned, after like 10 minutes of looking at the ban, i couldn’t belive my eyes, i see the reason is “Cheating and exploiting”, now what i find even more confusing is that (to my understanding) it says i exploited in my own game, i don’t even know how that would even be possible.

The next thing i did is i immidiately opened a Roblox support ticket and explained that there was a mistake and i attempted to appeal my account. A few hours later i receive a mail back, the moderator who replied to me, gave me a totally new reason, saying that my game contains “Ultimate Trolling Gui’s” for short “UTG” which the moderator noted him self that those GUI’s contain various trolling/innapropriate functions such as blood, bomb vest, jihad, genocide and more.
The moderator also noted that after the 1 day ban ends, that i remove the said content from my game to get it unbanned, however there is no UTG in my game, nor was it ever there, nor in any of my games. So with that, clearly i don’t know what’s the content i need to remove/if even any, as i am very certain this is a moderation mistake by their side and they have put no much effort into further assisting me and immidiately declined my appeal.

I do understand that moderators are very busy and it is sometimes a challening job to do, but this moderator didn’t put any effort into explaining the exact content that is the issue (because there is no UTG content in my game) nor tried actually helping me to get this issue solved.

I am requesting further help here, because i do not know where else to go, i have spent countless hours now and in the past working for what i have achieved on this roblox account, i will not let it all go without a fight, as long as i don’t have actual reasoning to belive that i am guilty of something, which is understandable if it was so, but here it doesn’t seem the case.

  • I have never shared team access to anyone
  • I have already spent hours upon hours thinking of what could be the “UTG”, all the gui i have in the game was there already for over 6 months, and is game functioning GUI, like choose a country to play as and etc, nothing that comes even as close as harmful.
    Recently i was working on my custom admin commands and it is the ONLY gui i added within over last 6 months, and that gui is “chatlogs”, “commandlogs”, “admins/staff” types, nothing harmful, and it the exact opposite of harmful. Used to deal with cheaters and exploiters to make the game family friendly and safe for all ages and the roblox community.

Please help me and let me know what i should do as it doesn’t seem it is going to work out if roblox staff put minimal effort, i could keep trying and trying, but all it takes is one moderator to permanently close my appeal and ruin everything for me, or if im lucky like i always was by now to get a staff member to see my ticket who puts their best efforts into the moderation, and i appriciate for these guys that they are there for us, every day that ticks my community is more impatient and i need to get the game back up, i would like to get some notice from roblox staff to help me resolve this issue and to properly review my game for any innapropriate content if it is there, i am clueless on what to do and im not even sure what the actual ban reason is, exploits, cheats, or UTG…?. Thank you if you’ve read all of this

Check you game for backdoors.

UTG may have some backdoors.
Check for any suspicious lines of code left inside of the script, you could save yourself.

There are literally none, if there were the game would’ve been banned like 8 months ago when created, haven’t touched it since, the admin commands are the only new thing and are solely my code, everything else is safe. However if i click i agree, will roblox still remove the ban records if it’s a mistake ban?

There aren’t any i’ve coded everything. It is impossible. But i will double check once again, if i click i agree to the ban message, will roblox still remove ban records if im proven innocent?

I’m not sure about it, but I don’t think it will affect DevEx.

So im forced to click agree, and they probably wont get back to me. Because it’s already taken 2x longer than it took them to reply the first time.

Do you have any plugins? Maybe a plugin injected something to your game

Usually, a ban for cheating/exploiting is permanent, that’s weird it’s only 1 day here… Also, what’s the asset?

6 Likes

Yes. I myself did accept bans when they were false bans, and Roblox support did remove the record when I appealed. You don’t need to be worried about it.

Yes but none of those to my awareness don’t have access to edit scripts, etc. I mean i know what i added as my plugins. So it couldn’t be this.
They’ve mistaken my admin UI probably because of a command named “track” that join’s the server the target player is in, then teleports you to them. They haven’t responded back for over 3 days now and i don’t think they will.

Forged Victory; Rise to Power - Roblox ← literally the whole game is the asset

This doesn’t make any sense, and the moderator upon changing the reason to UTG, didn’t note any asset it self and thats why i dmed them in the first place, to know what is the illegal content (there isn’t any i have never been more certain). And now their unresponsive.

Some amazing moderator has somehow mistaken admin commands for UTG; only thing falling to my mind could be a command, that is named “track”, just because of it’s name. If it was so i belive they would then say so which they haven’t (and it is a allowed command, does same as HD admin’s ;follow).
That’s my assumption as it could not be anything else.

What does that mean?

Tell the exact same to Roblox Support and see what they says.

Roblox support say “UTG” is “Ultimate trolling gui”

I don’t think i will be able to tell them anything, i have been waiting on a single response for over 3 days now. Considering the last they said is that the appeal is denied without putting any efforts in to review the game. Because of this i opened a new ticket and sent them the URL of this devforum post.

I wouldn’t worry about if the ban records matter or not, “good behavior” probably means 1+ year without a ban (from my own experience + from people i know who devex frequently), so i wouldn’t stress about whether or not the ban record gets removed. I don’t think this is a backdoor situation, more-so a false positive, unfortunately theres nothing you can do because roblox moderation is usually quite stupid when dealing with situations like this; The best thing I’d say to do is to simply triple check your code to see if ANYTHING lines up with UTG, and remove/rewrite it, its a pain, but thats possibly your best (and only) solution.

@absentdenik has it correct, that is a new appeal system that is supposed to work very well have you tried that yet? Also you mentioned how you have different countries to choose from, could the issue be there? Like Ukraine/Russia or Israel/Gaza? Examples of issue: borders can be controversial/name of country etc etc

If you haven’t already, check through the “Forged Victory; Rise to Power” asset in your game thoroughly. Make sure there aren’t any sneaky lines of code padded to the right side of your scripts. Aside from what everyone else in this thread has stated - checking for backdoors and malicious plugins, there isn’t much you can do. The likelihood of Roblox repealing a 1 day ban before it expires is incredibly slim, even if it was a mistake on their part. Your best bet is to just wait it out. In terms of DevEx, IIRC, requests only get rejected if you’ve gotten banned for serious offenses like scamming, social engineering, USD selling, etc. I’ve received my fair share of warns and bans over the years but none of my DevEx requests have been rejected.

Alright, i will review all the code again, but roblox is referring to “UTG” which means then it has to be a gui object (well, then theres scripts aswell but you know what i mean)? Which makes it easier for me to find it, than reviewing all of my code. I just very well know that there is no such content.
I’ll let you know if i find anything upon reviewing the code again, but i’ve coded everything my self.

Clicking that button just takes me to the classic open a support ticket page?

Does that not matter? Is it still gonna behave as the new appeal system?
And to be more clear, this is to report appeals that have been denied or?
How should i sentence the description of issue?
