#7 and #9 out of the entire catalog are just blatant Super Super Happy Face copies, and there are more as you go down the list. #7 has been up for 3 months, so Roblox is doing nothing with moderation for this to have been up for so long.
Expected behavior
I expect moderation to clean out these copied assets from the Dynamic Head catalog. I currently see alot of sweeping being done for accessories, which is good, but I feel like there’s not enough attention being brought to this issue on other sections of the catalog.
Not only is this annoying for actual legitimate creators which take time to create innovative ideas to even compete to the likes of these stolen items, but for the limited owners of SSHF and other copied faces that have to deal with being belittled by a 75 robux dynamic head.
Completely agree with this and I still feel like it needs to be reverted, it’ll likely not happen (at least not for a while) though as I bet ROBLOX makes lots of money off of this. Why else aren’t they removing these fakes and other TOS breaking items??
Over the next couple days, we’ll be experimenting with changes that should improve our ability to detect these types of identical copies.
Once we’ve confirmed the effectiveness of these changes, we’ll do more rounds of sweeps to take down existing items like the ones you’ve mentioned above.
I’ll loop back once the sweeps are done so we can confirm the issue is solved!
Funny how you mention specifically Super Super Happy Face Copies, yet there’s still a ton of headless copies in the screenshot and you’ve ignored mentioning them.
You’ve made headless/invisible head copies and while talking about “innovative ideas”. These should be moderated as well.
Not to mention the character bundles. I’ve seen cheap korblox legs in there as well. And they just keep re-uploading them when (and if) they get removed
I still don’t understand how the heads in the screenshot are considered “Headless Horseman copies.” It would be best for everyone if you could clarify. Also, as long as dynamic heads meet the required size, their shape is up to the creator’s preference—if that’s still not obvious.
Every half head is almost always intended to be a headless ripoff, for example umbrella head.
Not that they should be moderated if not breaking rules, I don’t personally care about them and I won’t dwell on it.
We can probably expect a rule update/false deletions to ugc right before october to boost headless sales. If it does happen again that proves Roblox knows about the issues.
Roblox is taking action. Reporting takes two clicks, and there isn’t even a rate limit. You click the 3 dots next to the bundles, then click “Report Item,” and your report is successfully sent. It’s clearly effective if you look at the heads that have been deleted.
I mentioned a much more effective way than just replying and complaining on the DevForum. You can directly report it to the channel where moderation teams will review it—no deep thinking required for this!
Well, I didn’t ask you that question if you noticed, but since you brought up “umbrella heads,” I should’ve also said that action is being taken, and you can use the report channel. However, saying “headless” for every head model still doesn’t make any sense at all because they obviously don’t resemble each other, and as far as I know, they follow the rules. But since they got deleted, I hope there’s a reason for it.
Sorry; they’re intentionally meant to be headless by design since you’re meant to cover the dynamic head with a hair or any type of hat making it look invisible.
Either way, these types of heads have been deleted and are against TOS.
These wouldn’t be up if moderation didn’t allow them. I’ve appealed these before and moderation says aslong as it fits a requirement size it’s fine to stay up.
FYI I have made smaller heads and they have been declined by support for not meeting size requirements, so there is a fine line.
But I’m not sure why you are attacking me for this, there are way bigger creators that have made thousands of dollars making these pre-public UGC, and I can name a dozen. I’m simply following a trend that has been going on for years.
They’re more effort to create than slapping a decal on a face so I’m not sure how it isn’t a bit more creative than what’s currently going on with dynamic heads.
The truth is, there’s always gonna be a head you can call “headless”, even before Umbrella Heads people were using bundle heads like Blazeburner to disguise the middle of their head to make it appear like they had headless (And this head is WAY smaller than Dynamic Head requirements.)
I think people are taking the status symbol of Headless way too seriously, as Roblox changes and allows for more creative approaches on heads and packages there is going to continue to be smaller and smaller heads to meet an aesthetic for what a bundle is going for.
But taking down 10, 100 or even 1,000 SSHF clones is not a viable long-term solution and we need reassurance that permanent changes are going to be made here. For a start, can my report on moderators not accepting reports on these items be acknowledged?
And secondly, can you elaborate on what is being done to prevent these from being uploaded in the first place? I’m sure it’s pretty much impossible to 100% eliminate the uploads of these faces, so moderation needs to be improved to deal with any that slip through the cracks. I’m not sure why this report has been responded to with such haste but my detailed essay on the root issue here hasn’t been.
And what about the other 600+ Roblox-made faces that have been spam uploaded to the catalog? I hope there is more to this proposed “solution” than what we’re seeing now.
They didn’t do anything—I just randomly decided to report the bundles that were blatant Super Super Happy Face copies about an hour ago, and as you can see, action has been taken. It’s honestly weird how no one else even tries to report these. It gets to a point where you start thinking a staff member did this themselves.
My guess is that only certain moderators who are active at specific times actually know what to do with these reports. But right now, if you send one, I’d have to say it’s pretty effective. Might as well just click two buttons and get the same result. Just a heads-up, though—there’s no real progress on this, and staff will probably clarify at some point.
