as of yesterday, my game has stopped appearing in search results entirely
if you even search a fraction of its name, it returns “no results” and doesn’t show a single game
i previously appeared at the top of the search results when you searched for my game
i have ~100k visits and some active players so i dont see why it would disappear out of nowhere
the game still appears in search results when searching “tower defense” (very very far down the page) so i don’t know why it wont appear when you search its exact name
Pretty sure Roblox doesn’t allow using someone’s real name or a political figure in your game title. I get he was a meme and whatnot, but that’s one reason.
Have you tried searching your entire title in quotes?
it still doesn’t show up with the quotation marks
there are many many other games with obama in the title that show up in search
you can just search “obama” and it will still show results so i dont think it is just because of that
i looked in the community guidelines about political figures and barack obama would not fit the criteria
he is neither a current government official or a recent government official considering he was president 9 years ago now
i have no references to any real world politics other than barack obama there are absolutely no political messages in the game at all
“No Results Found” usually means your search query contains a blacklisted term. But since you can search “obama” just fine, I’m not really sure what the issue could be with your game’s name.
However, it’s worth noting that if you search the full title of your game in quotations, it comes up.
If you transfered game’s ownership to the group then your game can stop appearing at the top.
I don’t know why it happens, but it kinda messy. I had same problem with my game so i just gave up with it.
If you haven’t transfered game’s ownership to the group or if first thing doesnt help, then i recommend adding “Tags” in the description. Like:
*Description text
Tags: Obama, tower defense, Obama tower defense.
Also it may happen because you add “[CANYON]” at the end of the title, just speculation, i dont think it really made your game unsearchable but just try to delete “[CANYON]” and see what happens.
very odd
it still doesnt show up for me
i’ve also tried on mobile and it doesnt show up
i’ve asked many people in my community and they all say they cant find it through search
Okay, I found out that if I lowercase the game name, I get no search results, but if I capitalize the first letter of the three words, your game appears as the first search result.
i think i’ve just gotta change the name
roblox is ignoring my support tickets
it wont let me change the name to anything else obama tower defense related, so i have to change the whole game name
i sure hope i dont lose all my players from this
roblox finally replied to my support ticket
they said my name aint allowed (but somehow “obama have dih” is perfectly fine in their eyes)
sucks for me i guess
it probably isn’t allowed, and nobody has reported it yet or the person keeps renaming it or something. Feel free to report whatever bad content you see. Auto moderation doesn’t catch it all, and things unfortunately take time.
