So as another update, publicizing the UGC catalogue seems to have been postponed until early 2024. Between now and then the announcement claims Roblox will begin to be transparent with respect to moderation and such which largely is what my original post outlined.
I am hoping between now and then that Roblox will continue to address issues mentioned here and elsewhere on the forum.
That being said, I’m not going to mark this post as closed yet as there are still some issues mentioned which haven’t been addressed/afaik have no plans to be addressed yet (as a reminder):
1- No appeal line for rejected assets
2- QA does not reject any reuploads of 1:1 copies of Roblox-created limiteds down, just broken down into several parts, and sometimes entire 1:1 copies being made in a single part.
3- QA does not take into account context when assets that reference inappropriate topics are created.
4- Sponsoring UGC assets is fundamentally redundant unless you have enough disposable income to inflate the number of times your asset is shown.
