Update on Verified Badges

Even has someone who, as far as I’m aware, meets every one of these (admittedly fairly arbitrary feeling) requirements as outlined:

I’m ID verified, have above the 10k followers required as a contributor, and Shovelware’s Brain Game, even on the downswing, has still had nearly 2M+ total hours in the last 90 days. Heck, the game is even nominated for a couple Innovation Awards, an official Roblox event that surely would have put us on the radar to some extent, and yet my own profile nor any of my team’s or the groups our games are hosted on are verified in any capacity still.

I’m not torn up about not having the little check-mark or anything, but with these criteria now clearly outlined I’m actually more confused than I was previously as to why some groups and users (including some who are impersonating real brands!) are verified. It leaves me with concerns over the notable users and developers who don’t quite meet these requirements for one reason or another but are still notable figures who could stand to be protected against impersonation.

100k follower requirement is specifically meant for brands, not for individual users

Almost half a decade ago, I created an account on Twitter called @Roblox_RTC, which now has amassed almost 750,000 followers. Does Roblox also defineus as a brand? If so, would only the @RTCRobloxTwitter – our Roblox account, be eligible for the Verified Badge, both me, @ImJustZAZC, and @molegul, who jointly own the account, or would it just be me, the person who created and operates the account be additionally considered eligible for the Verified Icon?

Roblox does make things much clearer than the previously vague requirements, which is amazing. I am just left with, what is considered a brand? Are accounts on Twitter such as Roblox_RTC, Bloxy_News, RBXNews_, RBXevents_ also considered brands, and will the owner(s) who represent the account also be eligible for verification? Thank you

EDIT: As according to the Blogpost, it mentions Brands & Figures, and I believe that we, and the aforementioned accounts as examples, should be eligible considering.

okay thank you for clarifying but my question still stands if a brand does have 100K+ on another social platform how do we provide proof of ownership if theres no place to submit them? do we use roblox customer service? email?

PLEASE let us turn them off! Since receiving my checkmark I get constantly harassed every time I join games, the attention is unwanted. I made a feature request for this about a month ago.

I do not want the checkmark ingame whatsoever. On my profile is one thing but when I’m playing games that aren’t my own there’s no point for anyone to know I’m verified.

and will abandoned accounts that qualify be automatically verified? roblox states once you reach the qualifications you will be notified and automatically issued the badge. a example is the @kyliejenner account. her account has been untouched for a while but her brand kylie cosmetics has millions of followers across every platform there is. (more than the 100K+ requirement on just 1 social account) will her profile recieve a verified badge?

what separates a brand from a user though? Mr Beast (for example) is both a brand and a conscious user, i understand the difference between “Generic Streamer” and “Generic clothes company” but when the lines get blurred, where does roblox stand?

Yeah i have a verified group and was a devforum top contributor and i won’t get verified becuase my game is no longer popular. This is really a huge shame.

Also this part makes no sense to me, the follow feature does almost nothing (and when it was on roblox it stopped working in 2015/2016 and was never fixed) on roblox and there is no reason for people to ever follow your profile on roblox. The following feature existed to get status updates on the roblox feed; the feed page has been removed years ago, and so has the ability to set your status on roblox. Developers should not have to rely on users clicking a button that does literally nothing on their profile in order to be eligible for verification.

Are there any additional/hidden requirements? I have met the revenue requirement as a ugc creator since before the badges came out.

I’ve been age verified and have used the authenticator for as long as I can remember.

Plus, surely if your account did not adhere to the community standards and Terms of Use you would have your ugc access revoked anyway?

it gives u a example on the verified badge q/a it says brands are companies and users are musicians, politicans, and celebrities i hope this helps :slight_smile:

Can we get the ability to hide the checkmark? I don’t have one, but I know that’s a concern for people with one.

I’m the owner of a group that meets the requirements. However, the group “owner” is actually our company account. With this automated system, will I also be verified since I have all group perms? How does this work? Since it takes a month to process, I’m not sure how it’ll work.

Thanks.

My group is verified and I have more than 10k followers, does that mean my profile is qualified to have the verification badge?
