Okay, so something I uploaded got a copyright takedown. How am I supposed to know what asset that was when the moderation redirect doesn’t do its only job? It is currently impossible to react to moderation notices like these appropriately because we’re given absolutely no useful information as to what we did wrong.
Please display all the information pertaining to what actually triggered any moderation notices we see, that way we can avoid such behavior or come up with alternative solutions to get our assets uploaded.
If crippling this page was done to protect <13 users from seeing something inappropriate, I am 20. Please stop babying >13 users.
“In order to make sure he doesn’t upload similar content again, let’s make sure he has no idea what he originally uploaded in the first place which got him moderated!”
The point of it was to do this towards everyone. Personally, I’d hate to see anything rather horrific had someone gone into my account.
I feel a decent middle ground between “Tell them what the problem is!” and “Don’t show them the bad thing!” would be a short description saying what the issue was. Not quite sure what the best wording in that case would be, so I’m not sure if that would even work well.
However, it’s clear that isn’t the case here. I’d hope they would add more reasons as to why a certain asset isn’t allowed, so that they don’t go under the net of “Inappropriate” as the reason, and get hidden like this.
I guess that should depend on the severity of what it is. If they detect something obviously NSFW it’s probably not a good idea to show it, but anything else should be ok
I mean, they could add a ‘spoiler’ button where the image only opens if you click on it - so you don’t have to be subjected to it unless you decide to click it. Of course it’s not a good idea to show potentially graphic material as soon as someone goes to the ban page unexpectedly.
Any user is going to want to see the contents of the spoiler, so the spoiler may as well not exist. “But there was a spoiler!” likely won’t convince any parents Roblox is safe either.
“Mom I saw genitalia!”
“WHAT? How?!”
“Roblox showed it to me, but it had a spoiler so it’s safe”
“I don’t care! They shouldn’t be allowing children to see adult images!”
There is no parental account anymore, and even when there was, not all accounts had one. For all we know, the email linked to the user’s account is their own.
Would it be helpful if they at least provided the Asset ID and, given that the name was not inappropriate, they kept the name of the asset as well? If I uploaded a moderated image I could determine which one it was with this information without seeing it.
Wait, so a Roblox account uploads an image, but Roblox can’t show the person (or persons) who control that account the image that they uploaded?
Sounds a little bit overprotective…
If an under 13 year old is dumb enough to say they saw genitalia (that they uploaded!) and their parents ask ‘Where?’ you can bet the kid is going to ‘forget’ where they saw it.
“This asset that you created is not allowed by the Roblox TOS”
Just word it in such a way that a parent can’t blame roblox. If the page specifically says that YOU created the asset being shown then it’s very clearly nobodies fault but your own
Sure, their account was compromised because they didn’t secure it properly. That makes it fine to show a 10-year-old genitals? Nope – sorry. The moderation action page is inadequate and needs to be improved. There’s a right way to resolve that (see posts by Space_Baa and RBX_Lua), which doesn’t involve neglecting all professional responsibility.
This discussion seems to be talking about potential nudity, which I’m sure we can agree should not be shown to minors. However, the reason in OP states that it is due to copyright infringement which should probably show the asset moderated as I am not sure any adult sites have given Roblox a DMCA yet to infringe
I think just blurring the image a bit will solve all of it; it will be recognisable enough to know what particular decal was not allowed yet it will prevent seeing inappropriate images for minors who had their account compromised and should be allowable within the terms of copyright protection. Even showing the image in 40-50 pixels total is more informative than nothing at all and is easy to automate.
Or at least put the date/time the decal was submitted. Showing when it was reviewed doesn’t give very precise information, but if you include when it was submitted then it should be able to help out a bit.
Yeah, not submitting a Copyrighted image is a good plan, but if someone submits a few images a day for a week (c’mon, you’ve done it haven’t you!) then I can see where the OP has a point trying to figure it out.
