Hello! I was wondering, arent obfuscated scripts not allowed on ROBLOX and leads to a ban? I just researched about it and I saw that it is not allowed. I’m asking because im planning to release an AI that has obfuscated scripts and modules so people cannot modify them and claim its theirs. Will I get banned for this?

It is because obfuscated scripts can conceal malware code that can tamper your game.
This makes it so people reviewing the code for its safety and integrity would not be able to recognize the malicious scripts.
If you want to limit your modules from being leaked you would have to make a lot of them serverSided, like as if an API and only have your client send requests to that “API”

The thing is I’m releasing an AI that is server-sided and if I don’t obfuscate the code, it will have a tendency that people will modify it, and I don’t want that. This project is public and I’m not obfuscating the code for “security in-game”, I’m obfuscating it to avoid people from modifying it.
If it is server sided mostly, you don’t need to obfuscate it, it is not as easy to acquire the script as it is when the script is a LocalScript and is client sided. Don’t worry about it then, people would not be able to access your code then unless they can literally hack all of roblox servers (hard)
Long story short, for your case, you don’t infarct need to obfuscate the code: it is safe.
No, no, what I meant is I’m releasing a project script. Not a game.
Oh great heavens. We are in a dilemma here. You wan to publish an open source code but don’t want people to be able to read it???
Yes! You got it, I stated the reason tho;
“I don’t want people to modify it” 
Will I get somehow banned for this? or no?
well if you were to release it offsite for example on github there would be no way for roblox to moderate it
Dude, the whole point of “Open Source” is for other people to take your code, do as they please, and take all the credit for it. The programming culture is summarized by this image:
So it’s okay, right? But I think i’ll just release it as it is, It’s code base is different than other The Mimic AIs so I guess I’ll figure out who modifies them and wonk them
