Question regarding bypassing in-game bans via GDPR Right to Erasure

Hello! Quick little question regarding GRPD…

Ok so let’s say that player A is banned from my game, reasons are irrelevant. The ban is stored through a datastore. The user sends a GDPR Right to Erasure to Roblox requesting their data to be removed. User is unbanned from the game because the game creator was forced to reset the user’s data. Player A is no longer banned and is now able to play the game as they please.

I do not live in the European Union, so I am not 100% sure if this is how it works, but based off of a quick research I did, I did not find any information that would lead to an answer.

My questions are:

  1. Is this allowed to bypass bans? Is there a way game creators can get around this?
  2. Are game creators allowed to clear all datastores, then reban the user. This I am curious upon because the user’s data would be deleted, then part of the data would be put back.

(This is the closest category this would fit into.)

In the erasure process the user’s account gets deleted too, there’s no point in re-banning them after their account is gone.
