My model got banned for Misusing Roblox Systems

[BlueBloxBlast]

Hi, I made a donation board model and it uses require() so it can be up to date in all games whenever I update it. I see a lot of models do this, for example HD Admin. I believe the require() thing is the reason the model got banned. I just don’t get why HD Admin and other models don’t. I already appealed but they denied it without even a follow up message. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Oh I see. Is there a way to get on that list?

I’m not aware of a way to apply for approval, but I doubt that you can since their goal was to completely restrict future use. For now, we can only hope that a proper workflow for updating models will be introduced at some point.
