Issue Description
I originally created a plugin to assist developers with different models of Tool Giver. However, the back-end code was messy, and I decided to disable the plugin by converting all functional code into comments, variables, and functions before taking it off-sale.
After making these changes, I went to Creator Hub → Dashboard → Development Items → Plugins → My Asset → Configure, where I received this message:
“Not distributed on Creator Store: This asset may be in violation of Roblox Community Standards. Please review Creator Store requirements, and update the asset. If you believe this content decision was in error, you can appeal.”
I reviewed the Roblox Community Standards and confirmed that my plugin does not contain obfuscated code, hidden scripts, or misleading/disruptive content, as described under Misusing Roblox Systems → Disruptive Content and Behavior.
I attempted to appeal the moderation, explaining that the plugin was broken and intentionally disabled, but my appeal was rejected without further explanation.
Reproduction Steps
- Open Creator Hub → Dashboard → Development Items → Plugins.
- Select your plugin that you wish to be modified.
- Convert all script functionality into comments, variables, and empty functions to disable it.
- Attempt to take it off-sale.
- Notice the “Not distributed on Creator Store” message appearing with a violation notice.
- Appeal the decision and receive an automatic rejection without details.
Expected Behavior
Since the plugin was intentionally disabled by converting all script functionality into comments, variables, and functions before attempting to take it off-sale, it should not have been moderated or removed for violating Creator Store policies. If moderation occurs, a clear explanation should be provided so developers can take appropriate action, ensuring they understand and comply with the rules. Appeals should include more transparency, providing specific reasons for moderation and guidance on how to resolve the issue effectively.
