SO i received a right of erasure of an user id for my really old game that is content deleted now , when first received it i just opened that place in studio and deleted all assets , scripts , guis , even datastore scripts EVERYTHING and the game is also private and unplayable , there is nothing in the game other than the terrain , but im still receive this message , i have even archived the game.
What do i do?
Do i ignore it?
Will my account get banned if i ignore it?
Please Help Me
Roblox acts like its all big and scary, but they won’t come after you for not doing anything
If you used datastores in your game and they have information that can identify a user such as their UserId then you should download a free datastore editor plugin that can help you go through all the datastores in your game, go through keys, etc and delete the data that you have to.
so i should ignore it? the game has nothing left in it + i just removed the terrain
Even so, you should respect a users right to be forgotten request.
is there any plugin that can help me do it for free
And Roblox should respect that some people don’t have the time or knowledge to carry it out
thank you ill try to do it and let you know if it works
Roblox sends these messages to every developer whose game was visited by a user who filed a right to erasure request, regardless if they even use datastores/save any kind of data or not.
I completely wiped my datastores (all my datastores were created by kohls admin so it was easy) and disabled API services, yet I still get quite a few RTE requests regarding my most active place.
If you know and are sure you’ve wiped your datastores and have no other kinds of saved player data, it is safe to ignore those messages.
Not really a valid argument here. It is our responsibility to have the knowledge and time to proceed with these requests.
As for OP, if you have any datastore then you can just run DS:RemoveAsync(key) on the user and you’ll be good.
A way to sort of automate this is to make a google spreadsheet file with all the user ids and then use httpservice to see if any new entry exists and then accordingly delete the data. This way you only need to paste the ids in the spreadsheet. Of course this is extremely hard but one way to “save” time.
i have deleted everything present in my content deleted game , everything there are no assests , scripts nothing in it and its archived
should i be good to go
