Edit: Sorry about the reply, accidently hit that again, ugh.
Finally received a message from another Roblox Staff that has let me know the conditions of my account.
Yes, the content in the array of 300+ submissions from off-site players did contain some inappropriate words, but this was going to be a game for the exact people that need to see the 300+ submissions so I didn’t think of inappropriate content having my account flagged at all or even outright terminated in seconds of developing by automation. What exactly does “flag content that’s dangerous or harmful to our community” really mean? All it is was text on a surface gui, not actual dangerous or harmful content to the Roblox community.
No, your account was supposedly unterminated inbetween as a result of a glitch/bug and your termination actually hadn’t been revoked until as of yesterday. That part confuses me but I suppose that’s what this message I’ve received said even though my both termination reasons were different.
Yes, Roblox will just outright terminate your account if you have excessive or just inappropriate words in your scripts. Be it either people’s ‘Ten Words of Wisdom’ sentences going political, be about intimacy, or even just nonsense words of gibberish which all were in the 300+ localscript array, could get you terminated in minutes to seconds. No ‘code reviewal team’ here.
All this just proves is that Roblox knows that their system is automated, their appeals system just rides with this automated system, and that any account appeals for small developers are going to be done through community sage members complaining that your account termination was unfair.
Even if you were in the middle of developing a game and was 100% willing to filter the content in your friends only game once you found out and awhile that you were developing on, it seems that Roblox will not care and just go with the latest publish you uploaded to your profile being a complete build every time and treat every game the same to their strictest standard of kid friendly.
You won’t get a warning or action to fix the issue and even if they say you’ll be notified, you won’t because I hadn’t. I’ve been fighting this issue since the start of 2020, having to hope that Roblox Staff that are still working during this pandemic can help me awhile their automated system does the heavy lifting of penalizing the livelihood of our developer accounts that been on Roblox for more than multiple years.
And finally, yes… I do take the blame that I should’ve sanitize all input of anything I put into my code. But treating everyone like a conveyor belt worker that could get “fired” from their spot on a platform because they posted a swear and that your ‘roblox code reviewal team’ can view your flagged code without notice is enough to shaken your developers on your platform.
So yeah, if you’re a developer that wants to avoid termination, follow my 100% fool proof guide.

Make an alt and use that strictly for game development, Roblox doesn’t care and Roblox terminates in minutes automatically. Once your game been up on your alt account for more than a week, you’ll be safe to say that it’ll be ok to put it on your main account without retaliation of the automated systems in place. Maybe if you want to be extra safe, just have a place teleporter on your main place to teleport to all your alt places. Although you won’t get all the place visits you’ll usually get, it’ll work to avoid a termination till the issues are pressed out of their automation.
-
Don’t bother doing Robux transactions over 2k+ in Robux. Stick with actual off-site revenue to pay your developers for now. It’s already apparent that Roblox’s second secret automation system regarding detecting of off-site trading is falsely banning developers that I believe would of been able to get unterminated based on how much work I’ve seen them put on the Roblox platform also. Use services like PP, venmo, etc.
-
Be weary of everything you type on the Roblox platform, even if you’re stressed out from the situation at hand, being the pandemic, being the uncertainty of your account, being the wild automation history that Roblox is now gladly sprinting for. Anything you type needs to be ‘kids friendly’. Automation doesn’t have human feelings.
So yeah, It’ll be awhile before I’ll even feel comfortable even developing on my own account since I don’t want to get randomly slammed with a termination again. I’ll just develop on my alt account and have my main account be a nice statue that I’m still on Roblox.
I’ve been on Roblox clear way back to the point of ‘Build a raft to the winners zone’ and staying up the entire night to the next school day playing that game that Roblox provided to me and the developer to upload and play for free. Roblox is an amazing platform, but I do hope they try to be more lenient on accounts that been on Roblox for more than two years.
