why do you care? the average age of a roblox player is a late teen to a young adult. This is just a fact. The internet isn't your safe space. People are just having their own private fun. Get over it.
Quote from Sammysapphira's furaffinity profile: Welcome to my userpage. I'm an artist who mainly draws digital pictures involving transformation and weight gain, but I like to experiment in other things as well. I try my best to create quality images and get better with every drawing I work on. In character I'm a cherry dragon. An eastern dragon with pink scales, a cherry blossom print it's chest and horns that resemble tree branches. He has a white mane, large hands and feet, and a long tail with a trail of white fur following behind.~ I'm open to talk with anyone and I even roleplay every now and then when I'm not busy with drawing, playing games, or other hobbies of mine. I don't enjoy yiff very much however so I would prefer not to be asked to do so. ^^;
based on what ruben quoted and what type of videos you post you have got to be at least 30 years old saying this, do better or turn yourself in already
PLEASE take this to your local news outlet. This will NEVER change until Roblox is being pressed by the media to do this. Chances are roblox even sees these people as potential spenders and that contributes to not banning. Edit: This comment is not intended for Ruben, it's intended for all readers. If even a dozen local news outlets pick up the story, it has a chance of lighting a match and becoming big news like other nsfw roblox cases that have become mainstream news in the past.
A "local news outlet" is not going to take down a multi-billion net worth corporation, no matter how many you get to go along with it. And it's worth noting this will NEVER change because Roblox has millions of active users, and there's no easy way to filter all of the shit coming out of those millions of users without filtering out some of the things that are okay with Roblox's TOS, so if you really want to make Roblox change this, why don't you spend a couple years making a better content and report filter?
@@concerningindividual Well its not like they dont have the ability to make a content and report filter that's adequate. It's just that for the sake of shareholders and advertisers, they choose to spend more on PR and making sure it "looks" like a functional system with word-play like "we prioritize safety" and such to allude to the fact they are serious, so it's two birds one stone in allowing them to just fake all their trust-and-safety under such a ruse.
A little known fact is that Roblox moderators have a dartboard in their office. Whenever you report someone for breaking the rules, they close their eyes and throw a dart at the board. If it’s a bullseye, they ban the violating user. If it hits anywhere else, they do nothing. If it misses completely, you get banned instead. Or at least that’s what it feels like considering how slow and inefficient the moderation system is.
Someone was harassing my little sister, sending her dirty texts in game and following her. They were DIRTY DIRTY. Like explaining s3x. I started insulting him and calling him a weirdo. Guess what? I got banned and I looked at my sisters tablet, he didn't even.
It’s because they mass reported you (probably with alts or a script or something like that) if you see someone doing that, report them, save their user (so you can report with other accounts like friends or something later) leave the game and don’t talk to them!
Roblox is a public company now so profit is above the safety of children, so they probably don't see a reason in actually spending money to moderate the platform properly.
I can unfortunately say that from my experience, the report system does not work. There have been SEVERAL occasions where I have tried to report someone I had caught in the act, whether it was online sex or grooming. And every single time, i go back to check on the account to see that nothing has happened, nor have the moderators bothered to even take action. It’s really pathetic how low a big company can go just to make a profit.
@TheobbychampionYT1124 It does work... It's not perfect though, you can get banned for something out of context and has been proven back then and perhaps still now. I got a warning for cursing and there was no box that showed the offensive item at ALL. Just warning and cursing thats IT. I would like to know what I did wrong but it's terrible. It can be improved way better but for a company this size.
@@therealinterlaced I had a similar situation happen to me. For some reason roblox bans people for saying basic swear words like “fuck” and “shit” even though it was said that swearing (not slurs) were permitted in roblox vc. One time i said “fuck” a couple times on vc, and for some reason the roblox AI decided to disconnect me and ban me for a whole ass week. They made the assumption that I was saying “hate speech” or “slurs”. So I contacted the roblox support to try and get an idea of what’s going on. I asked them if they could actually look into it. Alas, they did fuck all. They refused to look into the problem and just told me that the AI flagged it as slurs and hate speech, which was not the case at all. I just find it stupid how the AI will leach onto people who say “fuck” and “shit” whereas they don’t do anything to pedophiles that are grooming kids and getting them addicted to porn. To me it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
honestly, nobody I reported got banned or warned, except the times when people spam, if a person spams the same message 3 times and report them, near instantly they get kicked and warned, but other than that I've always been on the receiving end of the ban hammer, due to me constantly forgetting that this games moderation is locked down, and also the moderation flat out sucks, your warning or ban "offensive items" Includes tagged messages, so if you said something that got tagged so NOBODY was negatively affected by it at all, you could still be banned for it. Also the amount of times I've gotten banned for saying things that are completely normal or light, like is really having a penthouse better than living in a country home offensive? and saying someone has a sticky screen is bullying? the way roblox is made, nobody wins.
Chat reporting is automated now, and it does not take context into consideration. I've gotten a warning for "spamming" because I was repeatedly using /e laugh which keep in mind, NO ONE CAN SEE IN CHAT. I've also gotten a 1 day ban for "bullying", talking to a friend in private chats before and jokingly calling them a "fat noob". I've tested this more and found out you can report anyone for using "fat" in a sentence and they will get a 1 day ban in minutes, no matter what the context of them using the word is. You will get banned for saying or doing the most innocent and normal things. I understand that as roblox gets bigger they cant have humans moderate millions of people at once so its automated now, but it is just a joke at this point.
As sad as it is I think we've reached a point where only legitimate legal action will make Roblox take this problem seriously. It is quite obvious that even with widespread public pressure added they just don't care and likely never will without being legally compelled to.
@@stefan-x9g Unironically people should start calling Roblox investors over this shit. This isn't a situation like with TH-cam where an industry plant purposely tried to fuck over advertising by shining a light on a problem TH-cam was already dealing with, it is quite obvious Roblox literally just doesn't care about this problem because it doesn't affect them negatively profit-wise.
It's sad to see the game I grew up playing slowly being ruined like this and us not being able to do anything but watch it all go down the drain due to the incompetence of the people who are not doing their job properly, if at all. Thank you Ruben for genuinely caring about the platform despite everything it has done to suppress you, and I hope that one day this issue can be a thing of the past.
that happened to my friend. this guy in a server he was playing in was repeatedly being racist to black avatars in a roleplay game(DDLC.) The names he was saying was "NC" which comes from the word "MC", meaning main character. So NC means... yk. My friend reported him several times and told him to stop, then got a 3 day ban.
I got baned for saying hi but the person said bad words and asult me some time when people say bad word on other language and i understand when i ban them roblox ban me for the player what he say
I got PERMANENTLY BANNED for my user being feggstfh, which is obviously a keyboard mashed name. Thankfully I appealed it and they reverted it, but I still cant believe that happened
ZERO PERCENT of the accounts were deleted. i was expecting 10, maybe 15 if it was a good day. but ZERO??? this is so dangerous for such a huge company. this needs to change
What is even worse, is that the mods seem to look at the accounts, even changing certain aspects to make them look less incriminating for more responsible people to notice and catch on
the worse part is that this game is literally made for children, a kid literally can just get baited into getting traumatized and this is very you know, fucking disturbing.
Nope, BBC I’m pretty sure made a story about roblox’s sex problem. As you can see zero fucks given. (90% sure it was BBC but I know one news channel did something)
This exact method is what made TH-cam take action against the Elsagate videos/channels problem. They did absolutely nothing because it these videos were making them boatloads of money, but when they were exposed on the news and were struck with a lawsuit boy did they change their minds quickly.
This is really shocking. I expected to see AT LEAST 10% of those accounts banned. You really should show this to the media and use it to press Roblox (probably won't change much, sadly). Good stuff, Ruben!
I did some bad math and ended up with 1% success rate for reports, gathered from the info in the video. I honestly didn’t expect much but you gotta remember this is a kids platform. So honestly roblox should be held accountable in a court since they mislead users. (dont ask how I ended up with 1% or this comment will have a Tl.Dr)
@@LegoStarWarsFentBortedThe fu@k you mean.If someone was exploiting and being unfair OR any of the things shown in the video A NATUAL AND SANE INSTINCT WOULD BE TO REPORT THAT ABUSE LIKE WAH WHAT THE FU@K YOU MEAN "aAa No WaY yOu RePoRt PeOpLe 🤮"
Roblox thought they could silence you with a lawsuit, but they only widened your mouth. The mission you're carrying out is of extreme importance. If you see this i really want you to know that you stories are doing their job, because i haven't spent a dime on robux since i heard of the lawsuit, and i was planning to spend dozens, maybe hundreds of dollars with my new income(Turned to legal work age(15) right around the time of the lawsuit)
@@linkfromzelda1002 Pretty much. I have a set of games on Roblox that I come back to regularly. Once in a blue moon do I actually look for a new game to play. (Or 'experience' as Roblox calls them)
We need to contact some journalists/news organizations to publicize this information. Only at that point it will truly start hurting Roblox corp's reputation, which is when roblox will start taking action.
Trust me it has BBC I believe made a story or whatever about Roblox’s sex problem. As you can see zero solutions there’s a video. (90% it’s BBC it might be different but idk)
Honestly, if nothing improves, it would be smart to somehow get a whistleblower, gather evidence, and finally file a lawsuit against roblox and their obvious lies, deceit, negligence, and lack of safety precautions when it comes to moderation.
But enough evidence may not be enough, because they can always pull the "we are trying our best" card and go off scott free, and dont forget about legal costs@@sugarthecat.6485
One day I got a notification from roblox saying I was in the top 10% of good reports so they actually pay more attention to my reports more often- Tips on that : 1. Make sure u have good grammar 2. Clearly state the problem 3. Use as much evidence as possible, going as far as full on quoting what the user said or did
You can get banned for simple things, mild swearing when you account age is over 17 should be allowed, yet people are still getting banned for mild swearing, I get that is is bad for younger children, but a filter is put up, I am tired of having to watch what I say on the platform, maybe that one line of banter might cause you to get a week ban
I one reported someone who was just generally being a jerk and harassing other users constantly. After I reported them, I made fun of their grammar ONCE, and left the server. The next morning, I woke up to a warning on my account (for harassment iirc) saying I would get permanently banned if I did anything like that 2 more times.
Same for me but different, i was in a experience and i saw some random player just harrassing random players saying like buns, how they look, how he act…. And moments later, i started saying like stop harrassing minors, after that boom permaban..
@@scubismyfavoriteword funny how saying “gay” can get you banned, but I saw a player with the display name “ImAF****t” just the other day who as far as I know hasn’t been banned yet.
You should send this study to as many large news agencies as you can, such as the Washington Post, so they get this information as far and wide as possible to force Roblox's hand!
Oh they already know, rubensim has been talked about in media (both in a positive and negative light) and Roblox is getting pressured. However due to their size, and how medias cannot stay on one topic for too long otherwise they lose retention, the Robloxian regime withstood
@@Prismatewell, if it gets on mainstream, then Roblox will suffer. HEAVILY. if the stockspeople hear about this, Roblox will decline really bad. This needs to stop.
@@r0BL0XYIzxxnznot all exploiters are bad. i use exploit to understand remotes better, i also use it to test scripts ive made for my games (just a quick way of testing a feature i made).
It's easy to dismiss this as "oh it's just a game", but these are real children being exposed to this depravity. It puts them in an unsafe situation, and who knows what information they can give up carelessly to any manipulator. It's horrific.
Whoever has this kind of mentality is stupid. A game is how a predator connects with their prey, then they will use some other platforms to groom them. I'm glad that my parents didn't have this kind of mindset when I was on the internet as a young child.
This actually sucks to know that Roblox would rather put their time into making updates that nobody likes rather than addressing real issues with their moderation system.
And when you do get reported for accidentally saying one curse word at a non-optimal timing (with no intent to offend the other person), you do get kicked from the game in 5 mins :/
My friend and I were playing mm2 one time, some guy (his name was talking about his d!vk) THREATENED to r@pė my friend and I defended her, and yet, I GOT BANNED FOR A WEEK and he got banned for an hour even after numerous reports that we have sent out. This makes me upset because my appeal explaining the situation WAS DENIED. I’m so happy that you are dealing with this stuff and doing more than the Roblox devs will ever do.
What I'm really scared of is one of my 4 little siblings (below the age of 13) coming across one of those accounts or groups. I absolutely adore my siblings and playing Roblox as a family is an activity we do often, as an older brother I am supposed to keep them safe, but that is getting harder to do with so much jeopardizing content available on a children's platform. The fact the these are so common, and nothing is done about it sickening to say the least. If young children are able to find these things on the platform with ease, then why is it so damn hard for a professional moderation team to do something about it. This is the reason why Roblox is not a children's platform anymore, and seeing my childhood game coming to this is tragic.
It's obvious that Roblox has blinded by money and it's company ain't caring about the safety of their game's community. If Roblox ain't doing anything then WE have to do something.
I understand you, my neighbors kid just found Roblox and he’s only 5 years old with Autism, and I’m worried for his safety on the platform. I’m trying to encourage the mom not to let him play.
@@W0lfi-lkc And that's so sad because all the games and innocent interactions that I had when I was that age are impossible to experience now with them constantly being overshadowed by the current state of the platform.
I like how by forcing him off the platform, Ruben has effectively doubled down on journalism about Roblox instead on focusing on his prior videos which were geared towards entertainment…
Bro I was banned because I beat a guy in a 1v1 so he reported me for spamming even though was I said was saying 3 2 1 go and then saying how he could get better and said gg, I got banned for a day
From my personal experience, the report system is too effective. It usually takes one report for someone to get banned within a span of 10 minutes, it's happened to me, my friends and people i've done it to. Also you could spam report someone for no reason and if their is enough reports there they get warned or banned. I honestly believe that most of their moderation is AI driven because i've been banned for saying "what"
I have seen someone getting banned for answering someone and claiming that they are toxic, the other player who was clearly toxic didn’t even get a warning
yeah, the moderation system sucks, i said something as a joke (and it got tagged, mind you, and my account is 13+) and i managed to get a one day ban, over someone saying a slur NOT as a joke, BYPASSING the filter, etc. i told it to an moderator via email asking them why anything possibly offensive I said could be considered in a report when it was FULLY censored (you couldn't even decipher what was said without using some bypass) and they refused to answer. the moderation is ridiculous.
Yeah its 100% ai and it only looks at in game chats you can put almost anything in a bio (as seen in this video) but even saying small stuff in chats will get you instantly banned. A good way to see if its the auto mod is just by looking at how long the ban is. The auto mod only bans people for 1 day from what i have seen and bans you the second you say a bad message (or a specific string of messages) or somebody reports you.
I was singing in dragon adventures with other players silly songs, there was some person came at us and started to curse our family, curse our identity and worse things.. i reported them, but happened NOTHING as i just told them that no one cares i got banned for 1 day.
Now I'd like to see this same test with a variable factor, the type of report. Testing if the mod team does indeed do their job but just has a bias toward a specific type of report could further narrow down the source of the problem.
I wish David and the company REALLY considered this. It's like they're suing you to put duck tape upon our mouths, and it's almost as if they are, and It's stupid. Best of luck Ruben for actually trying. I hear the tone change as you discussed how not a single one was banned. Roblox really, truly sucks. So much for greed.
Yup, a truly atrocious game and the people in power do not care. After someone presses the media to report on Roblox's awfulness, and people band together, here are some better games to play: Ultrakill battlebit remastered Touhou (Challenging but fun) hollow knight pizza tower terraria people playground project zomboid Vintage Story (Minecraft alternative) Idk, i don't play many games
@@LavaCreeperPeople those are definitely a lot of good games and indie ones. I have terraria and hollow knight, but I definitely want to get ultra kill and pizza tower.
I suspect there’s some sort of corruption at Roblox, the profiles show in the video at first glance are obviously breaching ToS and yet little to no action is being taken? Why are some these pedos’ bios being deleted instead of their accounts as well? Genuinely starting to think that this company is filled with a bunch of fucked up weirdos who are abusing their roles
Ruben, you represent the part of the community that wants an actual change of the platform for the better. We appreciate you and your efforts to speak about it. Keep up the amazing content and work, you remind me that there is still hope for Roblox to change.
Seeing this truly breaks my heart, I think it's clear at this point that Roblox can no longer deal with their moderation without external support. And this is support from not professionals mind you, BUT CASUAL PLAYERS ON ROBLOX. The fact a bunch of normal people can do a better job at moderating than the moderators themselves is truly horrorfying. Moving from this point forward, I think law enforcement is going to get involved in this situation soon. The situation is so bad that were going to need the government to force Roblox's hand in fixing their moderation. Ruben if your reading this comment you NEED to hear me out. You currently hold a lot of power right now in your hands, you have all the proof, justification, and support to go and expose them infront of the news and other organizations. I'm not just talking minor news networks, I'm talking nationial television and present THIS infront of millions to expose to gross truth of how Roblox has become one of the GREATEST THREATS to CHILDREN on the internet. What your already doing is great Ruben and I appreciate your work including with your team. But this won't be enough if were going to win this war with the corporate jerks at Roblox and the sex addicted condo community. We will need more force than just this, something to truly end this once and for all. P.S Thank you all so much for your support to my last comment on the last video! I was truly touched by all of you all and I just want to say that were all going through this together and we MUST stay strong. Happy Holidays brothers and sisters, and remember.. POWERING INNOCENCE!
Having been playing roblox for 10 ish years I can say at one point they DID work but with robloxs massive playerbase and all the terrible things that go on in groups games etc I think it's a huge influx of reports that only a small team look at all the reports, compared back to 2013 when there was a waayyy smaller playercount. This is no excuse tho for why this shit keeps happening at a more alarming rate over the years.
That's what I've been thinking: Roblox running moderation the same way they did a decade ago, except with far more reliance on auto-moderation (which causes problems for normal users, too).
The terrible moderation is a big part in why the community is so infected by disgusting adult content. I was playing a game in Roblox rated 9+ and confronted a girl with a disgusting avatar, a bodysuit with thigh highs and 3D breasts. When I confronted this person, everyone around me turned their heads and looked at me like I WAS THE BAD GUY!!! No one cares about the well being of children on Roblox, and that’s especially shown by Roblox themselves.
its disgusting the things they're obviously turning a blind eye to. i applaud you for ignoring their "threats" and speaking out about it all. much love, ruben!
Well, I have learned this thing. If a journalist is investigating you and you threaten them, then they have just found a lead. Ruben Sim is that journalist, basically.
@@cheeplethebulldog1420 if you freak out really REALLY a lot about someone speaking something about something you supposedly did, then its surely true
its funni cuz my old acc was terminated for saying sat put my recent acc was banned for 1 day for saying pausey which is a bypassed word and still works lol
i used a calculator and figured out that if 2 out of 102 accounts (assuming the 8 failed reports from the beginning were reused) the success rate of reports is approximately 1.96% that means, on average, 98.04% of all reports are completely disregarded
Its so sad that the artist that ruben found out was publicly advertising porn on a kids website only to private their twitter without responding and no one else knows about it. Ruben or another creator needs to make a callout video on that person.
We need an insider. A member of moderation willing to put their job on the line to fix this issue in collaboration with Ruben's team, and willing to take action within their workplace in whatever way is necessary. That would be powerful.
its most likely an automod that looks for keywords, filters, and images etc. thats why they use v's and x's in their words to avoid detection, i could be wrong though, i do know there is actual staff but they mostly look for stuff that affects the platform directly or is on front page experiences
I have reported many people during my time on roblox, but I got a warning on my account for saying “skip” 5 times during a break in scene. Truly a flawless system
My best friend and I were playing, and he said "There's a big black hole be careful" when we were playing a space game. He got banned for a week. A WEEK.

They most certainly do _not_ work. I theorize it's all just a game of roulette. How is it that actual porn and gore can be uploaded to the site, but trying to upload a texture for a 3D model will get denied and have the uploader's account terminated? Their entire moderation system is based on luck. Every part of it, from reports to asset approval. They just try to make it _appear_ as if it's this highly advanced system they have in place.
i once got a warning for uploading a decal of a blank colour. i did an experiment myself where i made the starting place of a new account to violate roblox ToS much the same way the accounts in this video do, and i found it never got touched by moderation.
I got suspended once for uploading one image of two girls holding hands. Yeah, that is technically "romantic content" or "dating" BUT it's nothing compared to the people in this video doing unspeakable things.
It definitely is completely arbitrary. I make clothing, I know many clothing creators, and it's not uncommon to have assets moderated and even be warned/banned at complete random because of AI flagging a couple of random pixels as inappropriate, meanwhile you can very easily bypass the AI to upload actual bad shit just by doing some easy transparency bypasses. And to further demonstrate that the assets which are moderated are moderated at random - all you have to do to have them accepted is change the noise rate (essentially randomize pixel color value very slightly) and everything will work without issue.
I’ve reported hundreds of accounts that go against roblox TOS to an blatantly obvious degree… only one of those accounts had any action taken against them.
I hope Ruben covers the new surge of "sus" games that are cropping up. For some god-forsaken reason I keep getting them in my "recommended for you" list, even though all I play are tower defense games. It's disgusting. The thumbnails for these games are usually furries or catgirls blushing and looking suggestive, but sometimes it's something horrendous, like a pregnant character inflated to 3x their size. Thankfully I usually see the games they put on my feed taken down within a day or 2, but they just keep coming. They _need_ to find a way to automate it so these things can't even be made in the first place.
I love how "11nchToyPounder" is spelled. 1 is often used as a replacement for "i", and so it can translate to "1inchToyPounder", which is probably an accurate representation of their actual selves.
At this point, the only way Roblox will change is if it literally has something like a class action lawsuit against them. There are so many shady things that go on the platform that are unmoderated that you could genuinely build a case with it. A news outlet would drag attention, but I feel it wouldn't be enough since they'll probably go back to their ways a few months after. They need something more permanent. A multi-billion-dollar company will be fine losing a few thousand to a hundred thousand users but losing hundreds of millions of dollars from a suit is going to leave a dent.
Fun fact: Theodore Roosevelt Jr (son of Theodore Roosevelt) was the first general to land on D-Day by the first wave and was the oldest man in the invasion (56). He and his troops quickly realised they landed a mile south of the designated Utah Beach, but after quick reconnaissance he determined that this part of the beach was a lot less defended than the previous Utah Beach. So he effectively changed where the Utah Beach troops would land, with his quote "we will start the war from here". Thanks to him, Utah Beach sustained the least casulaties out of all beaches on D-Day. He would later die a month later due to health complications in France.
the report system works but barely, i know one cool thing about the report system where if someone is spamming you can report them specifically for scamming and they have a pretty high chance of getting warned or banned. very low tho
As you said earlier, Roblox only wakes up when someone famous starts talking about it. Sometimes they don't even notice anything if the player is mass reported...
I used to believe this did nothing until one day I got mad at a guy for killing me then he started saying bypassed death threats. Out of pure frustration I reported him, and next thing you know, he disconnected from the game seconds after while still talking to me
from what I can tell they have bots monitoring voice chat, if you use profanity and get reported, it takes about 5 mins until you get a temp ban usually.
As someone who saw, started taking action and went after them at a young age (it was around 2018-2019 when I noticed it was getting bigger and bigger) I'm genuinely happy it's getting noticed by the public.
My simple answer to this question: no. My complex answer to this question: no, only if it's actually a big deal and everyone is talking about it, and a third party enters to either document or expose the situation, then they're forced to act.
Like that one sonic game dude that was being a pedo. Roblox terminated one account but let the other account of his stay. They could’ve gotten him off the website by IP banning or something(like how they did to Ruben) but they didn’t and just left it there
In my experience they don't, at least not the way you intend them to be. Not only are they hillariously easy to abuse, they are also ineffective in scenarios where you want them to work, because they're 90% run by AI. It looks for keywords/keyimages/keysounds, and if it sees them it launches a banhammer, typically allowing you to mass-report someone who said something innocous (within context) and get them banned for it. Since nearly every person you'd actually want to report doesn't use any of the known keywords (or otherwise hides what their intentions are from any unthinking AI), a report won't do jack unless you spam them, in which case a human mod _might_ be called in to see what the ruckus is and *_might_* just ban the guy you're reporting.
I can't wait to see if the news talks about this, or at least something along those lines. I think from all of the videos you shared on this topic Roblox needs to either make some serious changes or be sued. What they're doing has to be illegal
@@lavasurfer6548Yes!!!! This has to get off yt and into the news/television!! Or at l e a s t a news paper. This needs To be known- By all adults. Because, let’s face it most parents are not browsing yt, and perfectly trust Roblox to protect their children. Roblox is not even trying to hide it- all the info needed is right there.
Given the moderation’s current state, it seems like roblox took these complaints a little too far and are starting to ban accounts and delete items for no reason. It seems like EVERY report no matter it being false or not is now being looked at, but not in the good way you might think. The other day, three people (according to themselves that admitted to it) reported me falsely. The next day, I woke up to find my main acct banned for a week. When i looked at the offensive item, all it showed was “:)” and “lol” . Want to guess what the reason for being banned was? “Cheating / Exploiting”…. heres why this made no sense. 1. my account had never been banned before, and i’d never received a warning. 2. I AM ON MOBILE?? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HACK?? 3. The evidence given was clearly not representative of the reason i was banned, like come on, writing “Lol” in chat is worse than what the girl in the intro to the video had on her profile? It seems now roblox has gotten rid of all actually human beings on their moderation system to save money from labor costs, and now only has bots which use primitive human language and have zero common sense. I find it kindof ironic that A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR VIDEO GAME COMPANY has to cut on real humans on a MODERATION SYSTEM FOR A GAME RATED 13+ (that means theirs minors in the game) which i honestly think is pretty important when dealing with online safety. I mean even chat gpt could look at that account shown in the video and say its pretty bad, or said that my ban note made no sense.
Someone really needs to open a class action lawsuit against them, for blatantly not caring about children's safety. Edit : As I've also lost many old friends to roblox. Who have just been, abused, and sexually exploited. And tricked into joining suggestive fandom's like the Furry community, which is pretty well known to be 80% nsfw. And 20% borderline "sfw". Or just fettish content. Its genially SAD to see roblox not giving a shit about Child safety, I'm so glad I grew up with roblox before all of this, as I would've probably been exploited, just like all the other children. I love roblox, don't get me wrong. Its my CHILDHOOD game, but I can't just stand that I cannot do anything, to stop all of this. Anytime I try to get someone out of these types of situations it mostly works, but their are just so many people. That its just... Draining... Anyways, I really wish roblox would take a hard stance on this, instead of promoting it. Its really sad to see a 100% fail rate on the moderation team, I get bullied in a roblox game, I report the person who did it. yet I'm the one to receive punishment because I called them mentally ill for just being a ass towards me for zero reason. Anyways, thats all. Rant over.
I'm not 100% sure but i think that an multi million company can spend a little money to get a good lawyer and get him to speak up really well and find a solution that will get them a small fine
@@Susakk Class action lawsuits means everyone would get money who has been affected by this. Which considering how many parents would be, I doubt they would be able to get away with it. Especially considering the hard proof. Now ofc I'm not a lawyer, but I do know some law. So just take what I say with a grain of salt.
@@Triro I just went digging in Roblox's Terms and Conditions and found this: To notify Roblox, you must send written notice to Roblox Corporation, Legal Department, 970 Park Place, Suite 100, San Mateo, CA 94403 by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (or international equivalent), providing: (a) the User’s full name, Roblox username, and any email or billing address associated with the User’s Roblox Account; (b) the name and contact information of the User’s counsel, if User is represented by counsel; (c) a brief description of the User’s Dispute and the resolution requested; and (d) the ticket or case number provided by Roblox Support to track previous attempts to resolve the Dispute, if there is one. They have the argument that we have to do this process for every account. Of course, they COULD delete the accounts, but as it was said before they probably dont delete the accounts because they generate revenue for them. This relates to class action lawsuits, but there are a couple arguments we could make to get around this whole process.
It's sad that only after this video is published that some of these accounts are taken down. Roblox needs to get their shit together about this. It's really messed up that it takes a TH-camr to make MULTIPLE videos on this topic for even the slightest sliver of action to be taken on this subject.
feel like this this is literal grounds for someone to easily sue roblox for misinformation and endangerment of children 100 reports and literally none were taken down
i’ve been playing this game since 2015. I was 9 when I started. Im nearly 18 now. I’m not surprised anymore to see these kind of results. But to see the platform which i’ve played on for nearly half my life go to utter shit is just so disheartening. I really hope that this video reaches the right people in roblox, and that they take a little bit of time away from counting their stacks and try to put in a single iota of effort into making this platform as good as i know it can be. But after everything that’s come to light in these last couple years, i’m not hopeful
This is quite an eye opener, seeing how Roblox handles reports and how shitty their moderators are with dealing with toxic people and sexual accounts. Its honestly disappointing, how these account's can be discovered and viewed by children, and how those children can grow up with serious problems related to this. I myself have been on Roblox since 2018, and have seen plenty of these accounts, seen plenty of condos, and yet no matter how many times I've reported this shit it's never be deleted. (An exception being condos, those get deleted and just remade again) It's so horrible. Yet I can still be banned for days, even weeks, for just saying "yes".
Roblox moderation sucks. I was doing an event in a game and this other guy accused me of not contributing when they were the ones who managed to load in first and rushed to finish the objectives, while I tried to help, but couldn't do much since I joined late. So then this guy started verbally attacking me, calling me loser, calling me brain dead, saying he hopes I get run over by a car. I was trying to explain politely that I was trying to help, but he continued to verbally assault me. I've had enough so I literally said the same thing he said to me back to him, literally keeping it tamed because I could do much, much worse. Then his friend suggested reporting me and half an hour later, I found myself unable to jion a game because for the first time, I've been banned. Of course, I reported him as well and also asked my bf and some other friends to report him, I'm not sure if he was even banned since I can't trust Roblox moderation, banning someone who's defending themselves but doesn't even bother banning pedos or creators who make inappropriate content because they are making Roblox money.
in-game reports do work if used correctly, the website ones really dont. and the support doesnt as well. they copy paste, i asked them what part of my pc to change or what to tell to the engineer about the issue, they just copy paste to upgrade my pc and talk about it to the engineer -_-
I personally love a practical application of the scientific method outside a lab or classroom, nice job! Keep pushing positive change and exposing horrible system
ROBLOX reports mostly rely on AI detection and when reported the AI would literally take some time scavaging even chats that can be out of context that wasn't suppose to be bad at all at times and would still punish the player. The report system works surely but it's not perfect at all, on top of that, when appealing it's pretty impossible as most appeals get copy and pasted with the same message reviewing and going with the AI what it detected.
This needs to be broadcasted on tv. Its a really huge problem roblox doesnt care about (they care about money nothing else). Its so good to see a person who got sued for 100+ crimes (fake ones) and over 1.6 millions dollars help the GAME become better for children who is not prepared for internet. And always remember ruben sim is helping KIDS, not the platform itself (its sucks, the bigger roblox became the less they care about anything except money)
some reports will just ban you for a day just bc your virtually killing legomen but when the weirdos do thier thing they literally got protection from the mods
idk why this makes me almost cry, theres no bit of sadness in this vid but seeing how roblox is slowly crumbling just makes me sad. it's like addicted to smoking it's bad but people still buy it.
You should like officially publish your findings. go to like the BBC or the NYT and ask them to write an article on it. If you really feel like it, make a go fund me and try to sue roblox. there is no way any fucking judge who isnt deaf and blind won't side with you. If you do I certainly would donate. I really do applaud you for your work and videos, but If we're being completely real here, we both know that roblox is just going to ignore this(or even just have youtube take it down) unless real action is taken. Love your work, and roblox is completely horrendous.
THIS. I would donate small portions of my paychecks for a Go Fund Me by Ruben thats made to create a lawsuit against Roblox. Anything to make those spineless bastards change their site for the safety of children
Thank you for being the spokesman for the Roblox community we really appreciate you and all that you do. Let’s just hope Roblox can appreciate your work and take notice.
@@casonlalalala idk how old you are so I won't say too much but: basically how many times a person has "released" inside of them/ doing the deed with them
The system is very hit or miss. I had been banned myself in 2014 for telling someone to "go away plese" (I was young and struggled typing) due to them constantly chasing after me from game to game. No matter what Roblox game I went into, they'd join me a few minutes later. Yet now most of the reports are AI-driven and done by AI, with no human interaction to carry out the reports (My thoughts on it anyway). Unless it's very obvious they're breaking rules, 99% of the time they'll go scot-free with no punishment or ban. The number of kids that play Roblox is insane when you think about it, yet they cannot put in the effort to protect and look after these kids from this sort of stuff. Kids should just enjoy themselves safely with no exposure to sexual or harmful content. Yes, I know Roblox isn't just for kids, but at the end of the day, Roblox should still enforce the rules they set with appropriate action. AI: AI (artificial intelligence) is no replacement for human thoughts and actions (as of current); AI can struggle with determining spelling abbreviations and sorts like that, for example, BBC aka Big Black C*ck or British broadcast service. AI can take BBC and not know what the player is referring to, where as when we read it, we usually know what they're referring to... Roblox needs to put in more effort and take stronger action (even 1 ban a day if they're taking more action than they're currently) and help protect children and make it a better, healthier, safer environment for them to explore and enjoy.
If politicians hear about this, which they should, I wouldn't be surprised to see Roblox being banned in the US. This is horrendous, and Roblox has done nothing about it for so long. Roblox is most definitely aware of this issue.
Once I got banned for harassment when the theme was red in dress to impress for saying "bloodclot" and "I like red but Ima have to throw in a couple other colors cause I like style more" and saying my friends name, "Kinsley"....
Man thanks you so much for uploading those videos, it is such a disappoitment to see Roblox not lifting a single finger on a matter so important, this needs to be brought up to light by more influencial youtubers and taken to the medias, they can't hide this forever. I'm sadly getting used to seeing inappropriate accounts on Roblox like many others but you can't do anything since we all know that those accounts wont get banned because Roblox policies enforcement are so pathetic.
The disappointing thing for me is that you can get banned INSTANTLY if you say something as trivial as “fat”, not even calling someone fat. I did a test where I had an alt say fat and another alt say a bypassed word (in a private server) I reported them both, and only the one that said fat got banned.
@ronniemcnuttgaming959 oof 🫠 it’s a flag that represents zoophiles, zoophiles are people who have a sexual or romantic attraction to ANIMALS. But the pfp crosses it out dw
Honestly Ruben, mainstream media needs to be aware of this. It’s already been shown that Roblox moderation not only is careless, but complicit in this kind of content on their platform. Mainstream media is the next step.
They arent that lazy, i mean i reported a person for calling people emo and gay and she got banned within 10 minutes, and also they have been working hard to fix bugs and other stuff in the background. For example when bloxfruits almost broke roblox because of its 1.2Million players (Which was crazy).
@@AstroNominal-NomicalI feel like them banning the girl saying mean stuff in chat quickly instead of the actual child predators is a lot more concerning.
why do you care? the average age of a roblox player is a late teen to a young adult. This is just a fact. The internet isn't your safe space. People are just having their own private fun. Get over it.

PLEASE take this to your local news outlet. This will NEVER change until Roblox is being pressed by the media to do this. Chances are roblox even sees these people as potential spenders and that contributes to not banning.
Edit: This comment is not intended for Ruben, it's intended for all readers. If even a dozen local news outlets pick up the story, it has a chance of lighting a match and becoming big news like other nsfw roblox cases that have become mainstream news in the past.
tis should be noticed by ruben, especially the media part
@@MrBgreast true
i don't really believe the whole "spenders on robux" thing since i had a friend who was innocently perma banned with 30k+ robux on their account
A "local news outlet" is not going to take down a multi-billion net worth corporation, no matter how many you get to go along with it. And it's worth noting this will NEVER change because Roblox has millions of active users, and there's no easy way to filter all of the shit coming out of those millions of users without filtering out some of the things that are okay with Roblox's TOS, so if you really want to make Roblox change this, why don't you spend a couple years making a better content and report filter?
@@concerningindividual Well its not like they dont have the ability to make a content and report filter that's adequate. It's just that for the sake of shareholders and advertisers, they choose to spend more on PR and making sure it "looks" like a functional system with word-play like "we prioritize safety" and such to allude to the fact they are serious, so it's two birds one stone in allowing them to just fake all their trust-and-safety under such a ruse.
A little known fact is that Roblox moderators have a dartboard in their office. Whenever you report someone for breaking the rules, they close their eyes and throw a dart at the board.
If it’s a bullseye, they ban the violating user. If it hits anywhere else, they do nothing. If it misses completely, you get banned instead.
Or at least that’s what it feels like considering how slow and inefficient the moderation system is.
@TheobbychampionYT1124Try harder.
@TheobbychampionYT1124it’s a joke bruh, but honestly at this point with how bad the moderation system is, it should be true at this point.

Ah yes, report a user to get banned then Roblox hits you with a ban. 10/10 moderation.
Someone was harassing my little sister, sending her dirty texts in game and following her. They were DIRTY DIRTY. Like explaining s3x. I started insulting him and calling him a weirdo. Guess what? I got banned and I looked at my sisters tablet, he didn't even.
Really shows how stupid moderation is.
@@Cr3Ek_l0v3RFr. Roblox always (emphasis on "always") picks sides with the wrong people bro 😐

It’s because they mass reported you (probably with alts or a script or something like that) if you see someone doing that, report them, save their user (so you can report with other accounts like friends or something later) leave the game and don’t talk to them!
It’s like school 101
Roblox is a public company now so profit is above the safety of children, so they probably don't see a reason in actually spending money to moderate the platform properly.

I can unfortunately say that from my experience, the report system does not work.
There have been SEVERAL occasions where I have tried to report someone I had caught in the act, whether it was online sex or grooming. And every single time, i go back to check on the account to see that nothing has happened, nor have the moderators bothered to even take action.
It’s really pathetic how low a big company can go just to make a profit.
@TheobbychampionYT1124 It does work... It's not perfect though, you can get banned for something out of context and has been proven back then and perhaps still now. I got a warning for cursing and there was no box that showed the offensive item at ALL. Just warning and cursing thats IT. I would like to know what I did wrong but it's terrible. It can be improved way better but for a company this size.
@TheobbychampionYT1124blink twice if Roblox is holding you captive
@@therealinterlaced I had a similar situation happen to me. For some reason roblox bans people for saying basic swear words like “fuck” and “shit” even though it was said that swearing (not slurs) were permitted in roblox vc.
One time i said “fuck” a couple times on vc, and for some reason the roblox AI decided to disconnect me and ban me for a whole ass week. They made the assumption that I was saying “hate speech” or “slurs”. So I contacted the roblox support to try and get an idea of what’s going on. I asked them if they could actually look into it.
Alas, they did fuck all. They refused to look into the problem and just told me that the AI flagged it as slurs and hate speech, which was not the case at all.
I just find it stupid how the AI will leach onto people who say “fuck” and “shit” whereas they don’t do anything to pedophiles that are grooming kids and getting them addicted to porn. To me it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
@@DoomPlayerD0M0 Well said!
once i said i was stupid, banned for 3 days
honestly, nobody I reported got banned or warned, except the times when people spam, if a person spams the same message 3 times and report them, near instantly they get kicked and warned, but other than that I've always been on the receiving end of the ban hammer, due to me constantly forgetting that this games moderation is locked down, and also the moderation flat out sucks, your warning or ban "offensive items" Includes tagged messages, so if you said something that got tagged so NOBODY was negatively affected by it at all, you could still be banned for it. Also the amount of times I've gotten banned for saying things that are completely normal or light, like is really having a penthouse better than living in a country home offensive? and saying someone has a sticky screen is bullying? the way roblox is made, nobody wins.
Chat reporting is automated now, and it does not take context into consideration. I've gotten a warning for "spamming" because I was repeatedly using /e laugh which keep in mind, NO ONE CAN SEE IN CHAT. I've also gotten a 1 day ban for "bullying", talking to a friend in private chats before and jokingly calling them a "fat noob". I've tested this more and found out you can report anyone for using "fat" in a sentence and they will get a 1 day ban in minutes, no matter what the context of them using the word is.
You will get banned for saying or doing the most innocent and normal things. I understand that as roblox gets bigger they cant have humans moderate millions of people at once so its automated now, but it is just a joke at this point.

I think what’s truly disgusting is that moderators at least saw the accounts but chose to do nothing about it.

This makes me upset because my appeal explaining the situation WAS DENIED. I’m so happy that you are dealing with this stuff and doing more than the Roblox devs will ever do.
What I'm really scared of is one of my 4 little siblings (below the age of 13) coming across one of those accounts or groups. I absolutely adore my siblings and playing Roblox as a family is an activity we do often, as an older brother I am supposed to keep them safe, but that is getting harder to do with so much jeopardizing content available on a children's platform. The fact the these are so common, and nothing is done about it sickening to say the least. If young children are able to find these things on the platform with ease, then why is it so damn hard for a professional moderation team to do something about it. This is the reason why Roblox is not a children's platform anymore, and seeing my childhood game coming to this is tragic.
It's obvious that Roblox has blinded by money and it's company ain't caring about the safety of their game's community. If Roblox ain't doing anything then WE have to do something.
I feel the same way, I don’t play roblox much anymore but as an older sister I’m scared of my younger brother coming across such terrible content.

Bro I was banned because I beat a guy in a 1v1 so he reported me for spamming even though was I said was saying 3 2 1 go and then saying how he could get better and said gg, I got banned for a day
Strike me down, and I'll become more powerful that you can ever imagine
From my personal experience, the report system is too effective. It usually takes one report for someone to get banned within a span of 10 minutes, it's happened to me, my friends and people i've done it to. Also you could spam report someone for no reason and if their is enough reports there they get warned or banned. I honestly believe that most of their moderation is AI driven because i've been banned for saying "what"
I have seen someone getting banned for answering someone and claiming that they are toxic, the other player who was clearly toxic didn’t even get a warning
yeah, the moderation system sucks, i said something as a joke (and it got tagged, mind you, and my account is 13+) and i managed to get a one day ban, over someone saying a slur NOT as a joke, BYPASSING the filter, etc. i told it to an moderator via email asking them why anything possibly offensive I said could be considered in a report when it was FULLY censored (you couldn't even decipher what was said without using some bypass) and they refused to answer. the moderation is ridiculous.
Yeah its 100% ai and it only looks at in game chats you can put almost anything in a bio (as seen in this video) but even saying small stuff in chats will get you instantly banned. A good way to see if its the auto mod is just by looking at how long the ban is. The auto mod only bans people for 1 day from what i have seen and bans you the second you say a bad message (or a specific string of messages) or somebody reports you.
On Christmas Eve one of my friends got banned for a day
They said “Wb”
One time back in 2014 I called someone stupid, got suspended for a week.
I was singing in dragon adventures with other players silly songs, there was some person came at us and started to curse our family, curse our identity and worse things.. i reported them, but happened NOTHING as i just told them that no one cares i got banned for 1 day.
Now I'd like to see this same test with a variable factor, the type of report. Testing if the mod team does indeed do their job but just has a bias toward a specific type of report could further narrow down the source of the problem.
Look at the mod team and notice that they are mostly slender

Seeing this truly breaks my heart, I think it's clear at this point that Roblox can no longer deal with their moderation without external support. And this is support from not professionals mind you, BUT CASUAL PLAYERS ON ROBLOX. The fact a bunch of normal people can do a better job at moderating than the moderators themselves is truly horrorfying. Moving from this point forward, I think law enforcement is going to get involved in this situation soon. The situation is so bad that were going to need the government to force Roblox's hand in fixing their moderation.
Ruben if your reading this comment you NEED to hear me out. You currently hold a lot of power right now in your hands, you have all the proof, justification, and support to go and expose them infront of the news and other organizations. I'm not just talking minor news networks, I'm talking nationial television and present THIS infront of millions to expose to gross truth of how Roblox has become one of the GREATEST THREATS to CHILDREN on the internet. What your already doing is great Ruben and I appreciate your work including with your team. But this won't be enough if were going to win this war with the corporate jerks at Roblox and the sex addicted condo community. We will need more force than just this, something to truly end this once and for all.

bro one time i got banned for three days just because i said “garfield isn’t a furry” but it’s roblox and that last word really triggered them
That's what I've been thinking: Roblox running moderation the same way they did a decade ago, except with far more reliance on auto-moderation (which causes problems for normal users, too).
The terrible moderation is a big part in why the community is so infected by disgusting adult content. I was playing a game in Roblox rated 9+ and confronted a girl with a disgusting avatar, a bodysuit with thigh highs and 3D breasts. When I confronted this person, everyone around me turned their heads and looked at me like I WAS THE BAD GUY!!!

They most certainly do _not_ work. I theorize it's all just a game of roulette. How is it that actual porn and gore can be uploaded to the site, but trying to upload a texture for a 3D model will get denied and have the uploader's account terminated? Their entire moderation system is based on luck. Every part of it, from reports to asset approval. They just try to make it _appear_ as if it's this highly advanced system they have in place.
i once got a warning for uploading a decal of a blank colour. i did an experiment myself where i made the starting place of a new account to violate roblox ToS much the same way the accounts in this video do, and i found it never got touched by moderation.
Absolutely. It's completely backwards.
@@chaosspider5765 a blank color? like, completely white? Just plain white??? Bruh...
I got suspended once for uploading one image of two girls holding hands. Yeah, that is technically "romantic content" or "dating" BUT it's nothing compared to the people in this video doing unspeakable things.
It definitely is completely arbitrary. I make clothing, I know many clothing creators, and it's not uncommon to have assets moderated and even be warned/banned at complete random because of AI flagging a couple of random pixels as inappropriate, meanwhile you can very easily bypass the AI to upload actual bad shit just by doing some easy transparency bypasses. And to further demonstrate that the assets which are moderated are moderated at random - all you have to do to have them accepted is change the noise rate (essentially randomize pixel color value very slightly) and everything will work without issue.
I’ve reported hundreds of accounts that go against roblox TOS to an blatantly obvious degree… only one of those accounts had any action taken against them.
This video should definitely be shown to many more people than just the 1.14M subscribers of Ruben Sim. The word needs to be spread.
The world should see this...
I hope Ruben covers the new surge of "sus" games that are cropping up. For some god-forsaken reason I keep getting them in my "recommended for you" list, even though all I play are tower defense games. It's disgusting.
The thumbnails for these games are usually furries or catgirls blushing and looking suggestive, but sometimes it's something horrendous, like a pregnant character inflated to 3x their size. Thankfully I usually see the games they put on my feed taken down within a day or 2, but they just keep coming. They _need_ to find a way to automate it so these things can't even be made in the first place.

@mitsuboba1313 nah, ik already. Just saying he literally has more care for the playerbase than roblox themselves do.
One time i said “I hate dark chocolate” and I got banned for 7 days
At this point, the only way Roblox will change is if it literally has something like a class action lawsuit against them. There are so many shady things that go on the platform that are unmoderated that you could genuinely build a case with it. A news outlet would drag attention, but I feel it wouldn't be enough since they'll probably go back to their ways a few months after. They need something more permanent. A multi-billion-dollar company will be fine losing a few thousand to a hundred thousand users but losing hundreds of millions of dollars from a suit is going to leave a dent.
yeah
Fun fact: Theodore Roosevelt Jr (son of Theodore Roosevelt) was the first general to land on D-Day by the first wave and was the oldest man in the invasion (56). He and his troops quickly realised they landed a mile south of the designated Utah Beach, but after quick reconnaissance he determined that this part of the beach was a lot less defended than the previous Utah Beach. So he effectively changed where the Utah Beach troops would land, with his quote "we will start the war from here". Thanks to him, Utah Beach sustained the least casulaties out of all beaches on D-Day. He would later die a month later due to health complications in France.

As you said earlier, Roblox only wakes up when someone famous starts talking about it. Sometimes they don't even notice anything if the player is mass reported...
I used to believe this did nothing until one day I got mad at a guy for killing me then he started saying bypassed death threats. Out of pure frustration I reported him, and next thing you know, he disconnected from the game seconds after while still talking to me
If he's disconnected that means it worked and he could've gotten warning or a day ban.
from what I can tell they have bots monitoring voice chat, if you use profanity and get reported, it takes about 5 mins until you get a temp ban usually.
same here but warning
As someone who saw, started taking action and went after them at a young age (it was around 2018-2019 when I noticed it was getting bigger and bigger) I'm genuinely happy it's getting noticed by the public.
I said " GET OUT" to a person ruining my base in 3008 and got banned for "harassment"💀
My simple answer to this question: no.
My complex answer to this question: no, only if it's actually a big deal and everyone is talking about it, and a third party enters to either document or expose the situation, then they're forced to act.
not true
And even then, Roblox pretends to take action and stops once the drama dies down
Like that one sonic game dude that was being a pedo. Roblox terminated one account but let the other account of his stay. They could’ve gotten him off the website by IP banning or something(like how they did to Ruben) but they didn’t and just left it there

@@XxDenisgamerxX exactly.
In my experience they don't, at least not the way you intend them to be. Not only are they hillariously easy to abuse, they are also ineffective in scenarios where you want them to work, because they're 90% run by AI. It looks for keywords/keyimages/keysounds, and if it sees them it launches a banhammer, typically allowing you to mass-report someone who said something innocous (within context) and get them banned for it. Since nearly every person you'd actually want to report doesn't use any of the known keywords (or otherwise hides what their intentions are from any unthinking AI), a report won't do jack unless you spam them, in which case a human mod _might_ be called in to see what the ruckus is and *_might_* just ban the guy you're reporting.
Those mf reports only work against me
if someone says the word black in any context you could get them banned

Given the moderation’s current state, it seems like roblox took these complaints a little too far and are starting to ban accounts and delete items for no reason. It seems like EVERY report no matter it being false or not is now being looked at, but not in the good way you might think. The other day, three people (according to themselves that admitted to it) reported me falsely. The next day, I woke up to find my main acct banned for a week. When i looked at the offensive item, all it showed was “:)” and “lol” . Want to guess what the reason for being banned was? “Cheating / Exploiting”…. heres why this made no sense. 1. my account had never been banned before, and i’d never received a warning. 2. I AM ON MOBILE?? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HACK?? 3. The evidence given was clearly not representative of the reason i was banned, like come on, writing “Lol” in chat is worse than what the girl in the intro to the video had on her profile? It seems now roblox has gotten rid of all actually human beings on their moderation system to save money from labor costs, and now only has bots which use primitive human language and have zero common sense. I find it kindof ironic that A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR VIDEO GAME COMPANY has to cut on real humans on a MODERATION SYSTEM FOR A GAME RATED 13+ (that means theirs minors in the game) which i honestly think is pretty important when dealing with online safety. I mean even chat gpt could look at that account shown in the video and say its pretty bad, or said that my ban note made no sense.
Someone really needs to open a class action lawsuit against them, for blatantly not caring about children's safety.
Edit : As I've also lost many old friends to roblox. Who have just been, abused, and sexually exploited. And tricked into joining suggestive fandom's like the Furry community, which is pretty well known to be 80% nsfw. And 20% borderline "sfw". Or just fettish content.
Its genially SAD to see roblox not giving a shit about Child safety, I'm so glad I grew up with roblox before all of this, as I would've probably been exploited, just like all the other children.
I love roblox, don't get me wrong. Its my CHILDHOOD game, but I can't just stand that I cannot do anything, to stop all of this. Anytime I try to get someone out of these types of situations it mostly works, but their are just so many people. That its just... Draining...
Anyways, I really wish roblox would take a hard stance on this, instead of promoting it. Its really sad to see a 100% fail rate on the moderation team, I get bullied in a roblox game, I report the person who did it. yet I'm the one to receive punishment because I called them mentally ill for just being a ass towards me for zero reason.
Anyways, thats all. Rant over.

It's so horrible. Yet I can still be banned for days, even weeks, for just saying "yes".
I totally agree!
Honestly, it wouldn't be surprising if some of the moderators were predators trying to ban whoever the hell they wanted.
Roblox moderation sucks. I was doing an event in a game and this other guy accused me of not contributing when they were the ones who managed to load in first and rushed to finish the objectives, while I tried to help, but couldn't do much since I joined late. So then this guy started verbally attacking me, calling me loser, calling me brain dead, saying he hopes I get run over by a car. I was trying to explain politely that I was trying to help, but he continued to verbally assault me. I've had enough so I literally said the same thing he said to me back to him, literally keeping it tamed because I could do much, much worse. Then his friend suggested reporting me and half an hour later, I found myself unable to jion a game because for the first time, I've been banned. Of course, I reported him as well and also asked my bf and some other friends to report him, I'm not sure if he was even banned since I can't trust Roblox moderation, banning someone who's defending themselves but doesn't even bother banning pedos or creators who make inappropriate content because they are making Roblox money.

ROBLOX reports mostly rely on AI detection and when reported the AI would literally take some time scavaging even chats that can be out of context that wasn't suppose to be bad at all at times and would still punish the player. The report system works surely but it's not perfect at all, on top of that, when appealing it's pretty impossible as most appeals get copy and pasted with the same message reviewing and going with the AI what it detected.
Roblox bans me when I say random words in chat to see if my keyboard is working, but these people can do horrible things and Roblox doesn’t care

If you really feel like it, make a go fund me and try to sue roblox. there is no way any fucking judge who isnt deaf and blind won't side with you. If you do I certainly would donate. I really do applaud you for your work and videos, but If we're being completely real here, we both know that roblox is just going to ignore this(or even just have youtube take it down) unless real action is taken. Love your work, and roblox is completely horrendous.
THIS. I would donate small portions of my paychecks for a Go Fund Me by Ruben thats made to create a lawsuit against Roblox. Anything to make those spineless bastards change their site for the safety of children
Thank you for being the spokesman for the Roblox community we really appreciate you and all that you do. Let’s just hope Roblox can appreciate your work and take notice.
"appreciate your work". How new are you? Roblox hates HATES Rubin Sim. Just because of this video. Moderation is never getting fixed
4:59 The fact they have "loads taken" in their bio just gives me the ick, like go roleplay in something that is made for kids 😭
@@casonlalalala idk how old you are so I won't say too much but: basically how many times a person has "released" inside of them/ doing the deed with them

The system is very hit or miss. I had been banned myself in 2014 for telling someone to "go away plese" (I was young and struggled typing) due to them constantly chasing after me from game to game. No matter what Roblox game I went into, they'd join me a few minutes later. Yet now most of the reports are AI-driven and done by AI, with no human interaction to carry out the reports (My thoughts on it anyway).
Unless it's very obvious they're breaking rules, 99% of the time they'll go scot-free with no punishment or ban. The number of kids that play Roblox is insane when you think about it, yet they cannot put in the effort to protect and look after these kids from this sort of stuff. Kids should just enjoy themselves safely with no exposure to sexual or harmful content. Yes, I know Roblox isn't just for kids, but at the end of the day, Roblox should still enforce the rules they set with appropriate action.
AI: AI (artificial intelligence) is no replacement for human thoughts and actions (as of current); AI can struggle with determining spelling abbreviations and sorts like that, for example, BBC aka Big Black C*ck or British broadcast service. AI can take BBC and not know what the player is referring to, where as when we read it, we usually know what they're referring to... Roblox needs to put in more effort and take stronger action (even 1 ban a day if they're taking more action than they're currently) and help protect children and make it a better, healthier, safer environment for them to explore and enjoy.
If politicians hear about this, which they should, I wouldn't be surprised to see Roblox being banned in the US. This is horrendous, and Roblox has done nothing about it for so long. Roblox is most definitely aware of this issue.
i am suprised it still exists in europe
the us doesnt ban shit as long as it gives their shitty government more money to spend on killing innocents and oil
politicians wouldnt gaf theyd endorse it at the rate theyre going at
@astrovibezz25 i mean, not all politicians are bad, but yeah most of them are doing anything to get themselves more money
@@mieciotherock5131 They're slowly region locking certain games and most places involving cases cannot be purchased.
Once I got banned for harassment when the theme was red in dress to impress for saying "bloodclot" and "I like red but Ima have to throw in a couple other colors cause I like style more" and saying my friends name, "Kinsley"....
Man thanks you so much for uploading those videos, it is such a disappoitment to see Roblox not lifting a single finger on a matter so important, this needs to be brought up to light by more influencial youtubers and taken to the medias, they can't hide this forever.
I'm sadly getting used to seeing inappropriate accounts on Roblox like many others but you can't do anything since we all know that those accounts wont get banned because Roblox policies enforcement are so pathetic.
The disappointing thing for me is that you can get banned INSTANTLY if you say something as trivial as “fat”, not even calling someone fat. I did a test where I had an alt say fat and another alt say a bypassed word (in a private server) I reported them both, and only the one that said fat got banned.

This shows how little the Roblox moderators really care.
no more roblox moderators they were replaced with bots
I Was Expecting Atleast 5... I've Completely Lost Faith In Roblox.
It’s crazy how they don’t ban predators but ban people for language that isn’t even cussing
4:43 Builderman??!!!
Builderman is down bad
nice pfp
@ronniemcnuttgaming959 oof 🫠
it’s a flag that represents zoophiles, zoophiles are people who have a sexual or romantic attraction to ANIMALS. But the pfp crosses it out dw
Honestly Ruben, mainstream media needs to be aware of this. It’s already been shown that Roblox moderation not only is careless, but complicit in this kind of content on their platform. Mainstream media is the next step.
It’s already made headlines.
I love the fact that you dedicate part of your channel to exposing Roblox's laziness. Thanks Ruben.
They arent that lazy, i mean i reported a person for calling people emo and gay and she got banned within 10 minutes, and also they have been working hard to fix bugs and other stuff in the background. For example when bloxfruits almost broke roblox because of its 1.2Million players (Which was crazy).
@@AstroNominal-Nomical yeah but clearly the mods are biased.
@@ZackMaxYT How? are they biased?
@@AstroNominal-Nomical go ahead, mention something political, you get instantly banned for a day.
@@AstroNominal-NomicalI feel like them banning the girl saying mean stuff in chat quickly instead of the actual child predators is a lot more concerning.
