This is amazing news to hear! I do have a question though, what about content moving forward? Do you guys plan on cracking down on copyrighted material more frequently in the future? There will unfortunately always be bad actors who will continue to infringe on copyrights, so will they be punished in the future or will they be let off without punishment via this Proactive Marketplace Archive process as well?

Glad to hear this now exists! If only it existed in the past when people were getting terminated left and right for sometimes decades old clothing assets.

Agree with this. Those previously terminated for assets where they had no ability to take proactive steps to archive, meanwhile Roblox itself was, and still is, very slow in responding to archive requests, should have their accounts restored as this new update is rolling out.

Will this affect items that have been re-uploaded that were originally uploaded by roblox?

Most of those ice valks are different from the ones uploaded by roblox, I don’t see how this image is relevant to the thread

“Most” doesn’t mean all

There are still many assets that are directly meant to copy a specific item from roblox and this is just a example

actually 70% of them are mesh rips, and his post isn’t unrelated he’s simply hopes this implies to assets infringing on already existing roblox material and is asking a question.

Love this update for the marketplace
How are refunds processed for users who may have purchased, if at all?

They absolutely should have their accounts restored and I hope more people replying on here push for it. Not sure if there’s a limit to how long until data is unretrievable/unrestorable but if there is a limit, those who are eligible should have their accounts restored. I hope to see this happen but I doubt it will.

I’m confused as to why this is taking so long (it has been asked for and promised for years). Roblox has had the time to make a system that proactively scans through items and archives them but hasn’t gotten to making a simple button to let us archive our own items. Having to send in a support form both strains the limited time of Roblox support unnecessarily and doesn’t appear to be consistent from my experience (the items I sent to support were not archived).

Quick, tell nintendo before it’s too late.

Lol, people have already been waiting years to have assets archived.

Ability to Archive Clothing Assets - 2020
The problem just kept boiling up to a point where Roblox finally started archiving stuff. April 9, 2024 was the first sign of movement.

Thanks for this! A silly “adidas gymnastics” outfit I made when I joined the platform in 2016 was archived automatically. I appreciate this program, as I would’ve received a DMCA request otherwise that would be out of my control.

False

Source: 8 months of suffering with a total of 284 emails back and forth, to be repeatedly and openly lied to my face with the narrative changing with every reply in each ticket. And when I was finally given a mercy unban after almost a year, with zero apology or acknowledgement that a mistake was made, the assets were still not archived for another 3 months on top of that.

It took Roblox over a year to archive assets I had requested to be archived through the support form.

Not only did I receive a false ban over these assets while waiting but I was told that there was never an archival request to begin with/the archival request ticket didn’t exist, only for the assets to magically be archived a year later.


Please correct the information in this post, this is dangerous misinformation implying that users can safely and reliably get assets archived by contacting the support form. It’s even more dangerous considering it’s explicitly stated no moderation action will be received.
