Users who created/contributed to Avatar Outfit Games are being false banned for "Harmful Content/Behavior"

Update on my false termination:

What frustrates me most is that there was no meaningful explanation of what content supposedly violated the rules. Instead, I received a template response stating the decision would not be changed. It honestly doesn’t feel like anyone seriously reviewed the evidence I provided or considered the circumstances of the experience.

My account has accumulated over 200 million visits across my experiences. I’ve spent years developing on Roblox and have invested an enormous amount of time into the platform. I would never intentionally violate the Community Standards or knowingly publish content that breaks the rules.

I’ve never been permanently banned before, and I’ve never had any previous issues with Roblox’s Trust & Safety or moderation teams that would suggest a history of breaking the rules. That’s why this outcome is so shocking to me.

What concerns me is the appeal process itself. If appeals are resolved with generic responses that don’t explain the evidence, don’t address the points raised by the developer, and don’t appear to involve a genuine review, then it’s difficult to have confidence that mistakes can actually be corrected.

At this point, I don’t feel like Roblox is taking my case seriously. I’m simply asking for a real investigation into my experience, with a specific explanation of what violated the rules. If the moderation is correct, then show me what the violation is. If it’s a mistake, then it should be acknowledged and corrected. Right now, it feels like the appeal process exists only to uphold the original decision rather than to determine whether that decision was actually correct.

One of the biggest reasons I have no confidence in this appeal process is that my Terms & Violations page still has no update on my appeal. I received an email saying my appeal was denied, yet the actual appeal on my account hasn’t been marked as reviewed or resolved. How can an appeal be denied if the appeal on the account itself still hasn’t been processed? That inconsistency makes it very difficult to believe my case received a proper review.

Another thing that makes this process even more confusing is the contradictory information I received from Roblox Support. In one email, I was told that moderation actions cannot be applied through Support, yet in another email Support denied my appeal. Which is it? If Support doesn’t handle moderation actions, then why are they the ones denying appeals? And if they do handle moderation appeals, why was I told they don’t?

To make matters worse, Support directed me back to my Terms & Violations page to check my appeal status, yet there is still no update there. I have a denial email in my inbox, but the actual appeal on my account hasn’t been updated or marked as reviewed. That contradiction completely undermines my confidence in the process. How can an appeal be denied if the appeal page itself still shows no outcome?

Roblox’s moderation and appeal system needs to be addressed. Developers and players deserve a process that is transparent, consistent, and actually explains why a decision was made. Permanent account terminations shouldn’t rely on generic template responses, conflicting information from Support, and appeal pages that don’t even reflect the decisions being communicated by email. Right now, the system gives the impression that there is little accountability or transparency when someone’s entire account is on the line.

My outfit game has also been taken down for the same reasoning “sexual content”. Initially it was a warning on my account but then it was upgraded to a 1 day ban. About a month ago the same thing happened and my appeal was accepted. I have barely changed anything in the game since then and now I have once again received the ban with the game taken down.

Roblox staff, please understand these actions are leading to lost revenue and lost players. Please give some real attention and transparency to these matters, it may not affect you but it greatly affects us developers and our player bases who are left in the dark.

Hello,

I apologize for contacting you through this channel, but I am reaching out regarding my friend, whose Roblox account was permanently banned, their username was TailsTheKing2327. They have submitted an appeal but have not received any response after nearly five days.

From what they have told me, they previously joined groups that created clothing and test games. They also remember having a small picnic game, although they are unsure whether it was ever published. We are wondering if one of these may have inadvertently caused the account to be flagged.

The moderation notice states that the account was banned for Harmful Content/Behavior on July 30 under Chat Evidence ID: 5b36a77e-3c6a-5240-8e72-d2e83cb0cbef. However, they were not online that day and only discovered the ban the following day when they logged back into Roblox. This has made the situation even more confusing, as we are unsure whether the action was triggered by a game, clothing, chat logs, or something else entirely.

If possible, we would greatly appreciate a manual review of the account. At the moment, we have no information about what specifically led to the moderation action, and without a response to the appeal, we are completely in the dark.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We sincerely appreciate any assistance or clarification you can provide.

Roblox keeps refusing to unban me and the support emails just say they cant help. I’ve submitted an appeal on the website and it just says its been received. I’m really hoping there is something someone can do about this…

Hello,

Yesterday my game “Anime Outfits” (15474504316) was also removed due to violation of policies, regarding “Sexual Content”
The game has been active for years, and I’m totally sure there isn’t any sexual content within the game, neither anything inappropriate at all. This is definitely a wrongful claim.

I believe the team needs to further review the issue since this is affecting games outside of that bulk moderation action you have said (Since this ban was yesterday).

Thank you!

The same thing happened to my game, it was also an Anime Outfits game.

Keep sending an email or two daily on the Appeal category until you get a real human to tell you what’s wrong with it, and also everytime you get an automated email reply to it with the same things you wrote in your appeal + a link to your game.

Mine was banned because it had a regular looking outfit of Nezuko from Demon Slayer, and Kana Arima from Oshi no Ko. Basically the broken dumb AI thought they were “Sexually Suggestive” content.

Bzths (2742922545). Roblox already reversed one of the two violations from this sweep. The other one still has my account terminated 8 days later.

I’m the user @40kq posted about in #9. I wanted to follow up with my own case because of what’s already on my account’s record.

Two violations were issued against me at the same timestamp, Jul 30, 2026 at 6:28 PM:

  1. My experience “Dollhouse Roleplay *VC*” (Place ID 86574504690356) for Harmful Content/Behavior
  2. My model “SecureAdminModule” (Asset ID 105697044615302) for Misusing Roblox Systems

Same sweep, same minute, same account.

On Jul 31 at 12:52 PM, Roblox reversed the second one. The decision says: “We reviewed your appeal and we found that your activity didn’t break the rules explained in our Community Standards, so there are no consequences to your account.”

So I’m not the one claiming the July 30 sweep produced false positives on my account. Roblox found that itself, in writing, within 24 hours. I’ve attached the screenshot.

How that reversal happened is worth mentioning. My first appeal on the module was vague. I basically said I didn’t think it broke TOS and asked them to tell me what was wrong with it. That got denied in 17 hours. My second appeal listed the actual engine APIs the module calls (Players:BanAsync, Players:UnbanAsync, Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync) and stated that there was no obfuscation, no third-party HTTP fetching, and no unvalidated client execution in it. That one was accepted in 43 minutes. Nothing about the module changed between those two appeals. The only thing that changed was how specific I was.

About the place

I’m not going to act like the flag came out of nowhere. The place was titled “Dollhouse Roleplay *VC*” and this sweep clearly keyed on that phrase. This thread is full of the same story, including private places, archived places, and people who were just rebuilding the map to practice building. My title matched the pattern. I get why an automated system grabbed it.

To be direct about the name: the original game had been removed, and I put that phrase in my title to try to pick up search traffic from people looking for it. That was a bad call and I own it. It was a naming decision aimed at discovery. It wasn’t an endorsement of that community, and it didn’t describe anything that was actually in the place.

What I’m asking someone to check is the place file itself, since that’s the part no automated system ever looked at.

It was a baseplate with a server-sided stamper tool, the same sandbox mechanic those old build and sword fight games have used for years. The stamper could only spawn official Roblox models, which are already moderated by Roblox. No custom meshes, no custom decals, no custom audio in the place.

One thing I want to flag myself rather than have you find it. There was a BoomBox in the place, which is Roblox’s own model, reuploaded by me with an edited GUI. The edit was cosmetic. It played Roblox library audio IDs, all of which are already moderated on Roblox’s end, and I didn’t upload any audio of my own. If that asset is what the system matched on, I’d rather know that than keep guessing, and I’d ask you to check it directly.

The place also never had any real traffic. Two friends of mine joined it once or twice over a year ago and that’s the entire session history. Please pull the session data on Place 86574504690356 and confirm that, because it answers the reclassification on its own. If nobody was ever in there building anything, there’s no gameplay-generated content for “Sexual Content” to be pointing at. Everything that ever existed in that place was a Roblox model placed by a Roblox tool. Whatever the system matched on, it wasn’t what was in the file.

The appeal record on the place

  • Jul 30, 6:43 PM: appeal submitted.
  • Jul 30, 10:53 PM: denied four hours later. The denial didn’t uphold the original reason. It changed the violation category to “Sexual Content” without citing any new evidence or naming a single asset.
  • Jul 31, 6:55 AM: second appeal submitted.
  • Aug 7: still nothing. That’s past the five business day estimate the system gave me when I submitted it.

The category change is the part I’d really like staff to look at. “Sexual Content” is a much heavier accusation than the one it replaced, and it was applied without identifying anything. Reading through this thread, the exact same escalation got applied to an empty place, an anime outfit game, and somebody’s Shrek model. When one reclassification lands on that many unrelated things within hours of each other, it isn’t a review. It’s a default.

Where I’m at

Both of my appeals on the place are used up. There’s no route left for me inside the product. My main is terminated along with roughly 20 associated accounts that got banned by association rather than for anything they did. My appeal window closes Aug 29.

What I’m asking for

  1. A human review of account 2742922545 and Place 86574504690356, the same kind of review that correctly cleared my module on Jul 31.
  2. Either a specific statement of what content violated the standards, or removal of the “Sexual Content” reclassification.
  3. Reinstatement of the associated accounts that were banned by association.
  4. Confirmation of whether the Aug 29 deadline is paused for cases from this sweep that are still unresolved.

@Sourcemapper, I understand your Jul 31 post was about restoring experiences caught in the bulk action, not about account terminations. Could you say directly whether account-level terminations from that same sweep are included in the review? If they aren’t, please just say so, because a lot of us in this thread are eight days in and waiting on something that may never have covered us. My account is already a documented case of that sweep getting it wrong. Roblox established that on Jul 31, not me.

It’s now been a week since the bulk moderation incident occurred, well beyond the estimated “1–2 days” given for the review & restore process. Are there any updates on this or what’s going on? @Sourcemapper

Many players including myself are still permanently banned, with Roblox Support leaving our appeals unanswered and providing no communication or updates. I even submitted an appeal using my billing email and received a response within 12 hours, although I was simply told to resubmit using my verified account email. Meanwhile, appeals submitted through the support page with our usernames and verified account emails, as well as through the official appeals page, have continued to go unanswered. The stated 5 business days response timeframe on the appeals page is also now long overdue for many affected players.

I’ve seen some affected players getting unbanned, but the process seems to be moving extremely slowly to the point where it feels like the “1-2 days” is being spent reviewing each individual case rather than the incident as a whole. Due to this long wait, players are worried that their UGC items from their groups that got locked are being archived, affecting their sales and revenue.

I also suffered from a sudden wave of bans from the AI ​​moderation system. My account, @tiffikan, was moderated for linking to an account I never owned. i don’t own violations in the Violations & Appeals window, this ban 100% ai mistake. It says I have no violations despite the permanent ban. I never owned the account mentioned in the ban and have no connection to it. This is a system error.

Please restore my account and remove this erroneous violation caused by the AI ​​glitch.

same with mine SheCalledMeBeautiful, it was my main devex account, only got on it to devex and it got this random ban, I don’t break roblox rules, and the only alts I have are due to roblox AI loving to randomly hand out warnings or bans such as this one, if all my work was on my one account I would’ve lost everything I’ve worked for and on for years, I hope they look into this or revert this type of ban wave and stop doing these types of bans bc they affect tons of players I see it all over tiktok as well

Same issue here, AI moderation cannot help my case as they redirect me to the roblox appeal form which has already been denied plus can’t even appeal on there anymore as it’s at the max of appeals.

I’d start sending more appeals.

My page still says that it was “Received” but they ended up finally unbanning my group holder account yesterday evening. I’m still waiting on them to manual review and reverse the ban on my main account, but keep sending in appeals every 2-3 days and don’t send the same exact message each time. You can send all the appeals, but they’ll either not reply at all and silently unban you, or only respond to one of your tickets.

EDIT: When someone replied to my appeal, it was from the one I sent out again last Friday (weird, I know)
