There is also the risk of bots being used to spam Explicit items for NSFW use, which would only endorse and already growing issue to roblox. It would probably be difficult to make bots and have every account browse the dev forums and log in daily, and it would be a lot of effort just to spam items that could be NSFW or stolen. And if Items are stolen, surely roblox can come up with a system that detects if a UGC item uses the exact same mesh as one already uploaded by a different user.

I’m not a clothes seller, but I will say that having to worry about if your copy of your own unique work will happen to get more sales than the 50 other effortless copies on a platform that’s so focused on generating unique content and selling it sounds ridiculous.
Edit: Wording

Well I am a clothes seller and it really isn’t, there’s barely any way into the market any more. After a certain amount of variations of similar things you need to make something new, and there’s only so many new things in terms of clothes. It’ll be harder, and take longer, but the same goes with hats. If you sell your hat for 50 robux, but some copy sells it for 5, what are people gonna buy? And even if copying isn’t allowed people could make a visually similar hat, designed to mimic your expensive thing for 1/10th of the price.

I apologize. The way I worded it makes it sound like I was calling it ridiculous to worry about it. What I actually meant is that it is ridiculous to even have to worry about it.

Has there been any updates to the FAQs? Some questions that were told to be updated/informed later are still vacant to this day.
For one, since we’re in 2020, does that mean most of the developers on here should be added to the program soon?
And this too, it seems that they don’t have much priority into this just as their process to accept new devforum members into becoming regular members. Some people I’ve read and heard through the community are wanting to be apart of this, but yet there lacks any process besides “wait and hope” that you’re in this “small wave” of people who gets accepted.

If it is intentionally the intellectual property of another company than probably not. And from the other end of things, while the sonic team is fantastic with fans using their property, i doubt it’d be the same if it were either for profit or to be sold on another for profit site.
You might be able to make an “original character, do not steal” as its come from the sonic fanbase, but I would stray away from trying to make a hedgehog or fox or echidna/ any other popular sonic animal as I don’t know where the grey area of their property ends.

Will ugc creators get punished for abusing “Recently Updated” feature? There is already one updating information constantly to get advantage of recently updated category.

Test hats don’t count as regular UGC items and are created, updated & used by ROBLOX to test out UGC functionality.

Turns out you can delete UGC Accessories from your inventory. This featured was disabled for ROBLOX-created Accessories a few years ago, but it isn’t for UGC items. I’m guessing this has something to do with the items being made by users, as you’re also able to delete Models, Decals, and Audio from your inventory.
Will this be addressed and/or fixed in the future? I’ve already seen an instance where one user claimed their younger sister deleted a UGC item from their inventory.
Below are screenshots of me deleting a UGC Back Accessory from my inventory. And before anyone may say anything, the item was an impulse buy, I didn’t actually like it, and don’t mind losing it.

I’m a little bit concerned for the future of Gears in the catalog with the release of some of these items over the past month or so.
More and more creators are skirting the fine lines between hat/gear. I’d much rather see some of these items published as gears, possibly with more in-game functionality, but due to the broken state that gears are in (and the fact UGC Creators can’t create gear yet), I can see why creators would take this route.
I’d hate to eventually see Gears be depreciated in favor of cleverly placed accessories, even though that seems to be the way we are headed.

Thank you very much for the UGC Catalog, i found it hard to find UGC items when UGC items was first announced to roblox, now the community just made it easier.

It’s been 9 months and those involved in the UGC Marketplace have made a lot of money from their work and rightly so, but, it would be nice to see a clear method for getting developers on board especially when there’s potentially life-changing amounts of money on the line.

Roblox are going very slowly because they don’t want major hiccups. Every time a UGC creator copies and pastes a limited, the team get scared.
Roblox are trying to make UGC, when it releases to a wider group of developers [than the current ~100 creators] they want it to be foolproof and sustainable.

Just by taking a quick look at RBXLeaks I see a “Playful Vampire Mask”.
Now I know that this has not been published to the catalog yet, but I am confused as to why this would even be allowed. I am aware that there is a similar face item that already exists in the catalog:
And I think that even this is pushing the boundaries as the mouth part of this “Epic Mask” is pretty much an exact copy of the original face.
Going back to the “Playful Vampire Mask”, I think that this should not be allowed whatsoever as it is an exact copy of the original “Playful Vampire” face. If this mask gets published, it will most likely cause the original face to lower dramatically in value which will be very unfair on people that own the original face.

I think faces might become non-existent unless these items get banned. Same goes with gears.

What really bothers me in this regard is that Roblox had absolutely no problem giving Star Creators, who mostly just source their UGC ‘creations’ from an aspiring artist and not themselves, early access to the program over actual UGC Creators, who are still begging to get into the program without an answer as to how they even apply.
The amount of legitimate UGC creators currently getting snubbed out of making hundreds, if not thousands of dollars from their creations is extremely disheartening to see at this point.
