UGC moderation seems to pass inappropriate and copy righted items

the issue :-

this issue has been on Roblox for a long time now , these inappropriate and copy righted items is every where now i do not know what exactly causing this issue , as a user every time i open the marketplace i see at least 1 or 2 of these items , every time i see one of these items i report it on a hope that you are going to take any action but nothing happens i do not know why there may be an issue with the report item system or so
what this issue is causing :-

users can use these inappropriate items to do many bad stuff on the platform
these copy righted items can cause issue to the whole platform

here is some images and links to help to solve the issue all i want is to help you making Roblox better and safer :-

Moderation has too many new assets being pushed through the upload queue to the point where most of these are unmoderated and only get deleted months after release.

I think your messages are very kind and respectful to the Roblox Staff but there’s two important things that I can explain to you.

One… UGC moderation should be the least of your concerns. It’s 2025 and a single click of a link can still lead to your entire Roblox account funds getting hacked and stolen… which is a huge security concern with their horrific cookie based system…

Two… KreekCraft made an entire video showing people got a huge amount of robux refunded into their account from the massive UGC ban wave that they did recently. You see Roblox is doing this in ban waves to prevent people from coming up with ways to bypass the ban. They do not want the people doing this to be able to find a way to get around the moderation that they receive.

I hope this clears the air!

the problem is not with the UGC it is self but with what people do with these type of UGC , a big percentage of the Roblox player base are kids so it is pretty clear that these items should not be on Roblox

secondly yes Roblox do ban waves instead of removing an item by item but it is still not good because these items are still on the marketplace for a long time the it girl bundle has been on the platform for a year now without getting moderated !

i can see this throw this site Deleted Roblox UGC Items | Rolimon's

that Roblox actually delete a little bit of the bad UGC and pass the most of them for some reason , i can not really tell if this is actually the problem or not but for sure Roblox can look into it as they should

you may also get up on a day and find out that Roblox got completely banned in your country because of their moderation like what happened in turkey

I’m from the USA but I personally believe that Roblox should be allowed in every single country

Have you ever seen what a bypass looks like? It appears as something totally appropriate to Roblox moderation. This is how it gets past most of the moderation.

The reason a small amount of bypasses get deleted is because their human moderation prevents it from going through. Their human moderation is far superior to their AI moderation.

if Roblox provides a safe platform for all users then yes it should be available everywhere

these are 2 good possibilities maybe you are right and maybe not but anyways it is a problem that needs a fix from Roblox even if it is because of this or because of that

I mean, technically not ignored. Minecraft and Nintendo have done major banwaves deleting offending items that infringe on their IP. Though not sure what the rules are on cleavage, clearly not enforced that well since bundles are allowed to get away with it.

I don’t think they’ll actually handle the report, because if there’s an IP infringement issue, the intellectual property owner should file a DMCA claim and request a takedown for those assets. Maybe they have permission to use them—you can’t know for sure.

Plus, by Roblox’s Terms of Use, since whoever uploaded the item agreed that these UGCs don’t violate anyone’s IP rights, Roblox can automatically assume this is true and isn’t obligated to remove them. The liability is actually on whoever uploaded the item and accepted the terms.

Roblox didn’t get banned in Türkiye because of the UGC items in the catalog. A popular Turkish YouTuber decided to play Roblox games live, and tens of thousands of people watched. Their fan base sent them Turkish Roblox games, and some of these games literally had “that scene” and moaning sounds in the background. After that, you can digitally report the content to the president’s office (CİMER). They took one look, and within a week, access to the platform was blocked. :skull_and_crossbones::folded_hands::folded_hands:

When I saw them playing that game, I was surprised too because I thought, “What do you mean Roblox even allows that…" :wilted_flower: The platform is probably gone for good from Türkiye for now, but I’m still able to make money from Roblox, so it didn’t affect me that much.

It’s just pure ignorance. There’s no difference from Roblox to Fortnite or YouTube. Creativity is given to creators, whether that be for better or for worse. But to judge the entire based on a few pieces of content falsely allowed is just silly.

Not really, their platform is “COPPA certified” :skull_and_crossbones::pray:

Simple, don’t let kids play games unverified by moderation or under a certain number of visits

what about inappropriate avatars ?
