Past username showing up as 'contains private information' when trying to name change back to it

Hello,

My friend owns the account ‘gbl’ on roblox, some malicious actor reported his name for containing ‘personal information’ and his name was content deleted. This was a false ban but he does not mind that you made the mistake there. The issue is that he now can no longer change back to the name ‘gbl’ as it says the username ‘contains private information’. The name gbl contains no private information at all, it is just 3 letters combined. There is no way it can be classed as private information.

This is what happens when he tries to change his name back to ‘gbl’

as you can see, it is not letting him change to his old username. This is the username he is known by everyone as. This name is the only alias he goes by on the internet so it has a strong meaning to him. I hope you can fix this issue as I have checked other usernames (example: ‘gb1’ and ‘gbi’) and they did not have the same issue as my friend, they allow you to have the name despite being pretty much variants of the name ‘gbl’ (since capital ‘i’ looks like an l and ‘1’ also looks like l). Hopefully you can fix this issue and my friend can change back to his username. I would like to clarify, he gave me permission to post this and asked me to do so. This is not him asking for a free name change or anything of the sort, he will pay the 1,000 robux to change it. He just wants it uncensoring.

Expected behavior

The expected output would be for it to allow him to change to this username again. It still is listed on his account profile in the previous names.

I looked up “GBL” on a web browser and found that it violates Roblox’s Terms of Service and Community Standards. I risk my account by talking about it.

See the “Illegal and Regulated Goods and Activities” section of the Roblox community standards.

I wasn’t aware of this, if this is the case then why is gb1 and gbi not terminated since they are subvariants of the name ‘gbl’. Also the reason he can’t claim it isn’t because its ‘not appropriate for roblox’ its because it contains ‘private information’
