Adding a couple more updates here! I’ll use the same format as my previous messages:
- “Identical” copies - Thanks for bringing up the example bundle that is an exact copy of Roblox’s Epic Face! I won’t go into specifics, but our change successfully identified this bundle as a potential duplicate of Roblox’s Epic Face. This bundle’s approval was due to moderator error, and I’ve forwarded the bundle to the mod team for review. As always, there’s a chance of error from both moderators and our systems, so feel free to bring up more examples in the future.
- “Near-identical” copies - We’re working on changes that will allow normal abuse reports against these types of items to be more effective, ideally leading to a higher takedown rate. It’ll likely take a couple months for these changes to be finished, thanks for your patience!
In the meantime, feel free to submit a normal abuse report first on these types of items. If that doesn’t work, let’s create a new post that’s solely dedicated for reports on similar faces (since this post is partially focused on policy). I’m still thinking about what the best process is here (and it may change over time), but I’ll check and respond to that thread every week or so. The format of copied ==> original was very helpful! - No updates here.
The issue of UGC permissions not being revoked can be a separate post!
