Reproduction Steps:
-
Making sure you are logged out, visit the profile of any user page on Roblox that had a status set before the removal of the feature from profiles, like the official Roblox profile.
-
Observe how the profile status is still displayed under the user’s username, despite being unavailable when viewing the page while logged in.

Expected Behavior:
Because the ability to set the status on user profiles was silently removed back in February, I now expect the message to not display anywhere that isn’t the Feed under any circumstances.
Actual Behavior:
Unknown to me however, the status is still viewable to anyone who happens to be browsing my profile while not logged in. It’s a bit strange to have this message publicly visible to those who aren’t using Roblox, but not to those who are.

Workaround:
To work around the issue, a signed in user can visit the My Feed page and enter a blank status so no text appears when signed out.
