Quote from the ROBLOX appeals system; "If you are writing to suggest improvements to our moderation system, please be sure to include your user name and details of the suggestion. You can also post suggestions and ideas here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=21"
The ROBLOX moderation is atrocious because most of the time when the moderators ban someone they do it the lazy way; without giving proof. They often decide to just place a 1 or 3 day ban on them just because they can. When the moderators ban someone without giving proof, this makes their chances of appealing slim to none. If you are banned and you want to appeal, you need proof of what you did and you have to tell the moderators what you did wasn't wrong.
So moderators of ROBLOX, the next time you "moderate" someone how about you ALWAYS give proof of the ban so we can either appeal or leave the account. You should do this because a lot of great ROBLOX developers and players have left this amazing game just because their account has been moderated and ROBLOX has decided to not lift their ban. If ROBLOX has better moderation from the start, the amount of people breaking the rules on the forums wouldn't be so high and ROBLOX would definitely be a safer place for all ages.
I don't care if I get banned for this post because there probably won't be a legitimate reason for it. |

| @Boring, Most of my bans were for things I never did. I agree that ROBLOX's moderation system makes no sense. You can't just "not get banned" if the reason you were banned for in the first place was unavoidable and absurd. |

| What's funny is that moderators ban people without giving reasons. You didn't think about "What if the person did nothing wrong?" If I follow the ROBLOX rules of conduct then I get banned and there isn't a reason then how do you expect me to appeal? |

Lol, look at me, I've been using this account for over 8 years, I have over 35K posts, and I'm still around and not complaining about moderation.
If I can do it, you can do it too. You should try it. |

| That's not the point. The point is that I'm proof that you can avoid getting banned, if you try. |

The moderation system needs improvement desperately.
I'd give my thoughts on it, but I don't feel like wasting my time on a thread that will likely get locked/deleted. |

Boring, a question for you.
What does your moderation history look like?
How many times have you been banned for a bit/ warned about something you did wrong on ROBLOX?

| You still don't understand. Many people including myself have been moderated innocently and most of the ban reasons don't give any proof. Many people have left this game because of this and this kind of moderation is ruining ROBLOX. |

@Boring, That really doesn't mean anything.
The moderation system in-game is mostly just a whitelist of a few things that will automatically ban you if you say them. But some of those things can be mis-interpreted by something else. For example if you say "B-F" in-game you will get a ban.
Sure, it's an acronym for something to do with ODing but it could also mean other things such as "Best-Friend". But the system is so badly designed that you would be banned regardless of the reason behind it.
There's also times where moderators take one look at something, not read it entirely and assume it's something else. I know this because those kinds of things have happened to me. |

@cgb123
Last moderation was a 1 day ban, a year and four months ago, for participating in a CG/OT "flamewar".
About a dozen before that, for reasons best left not said, because rules and all that.
@Imthestone
Yawn, you're still implying that the mods ban people for no reason, yet you and no one else who complains about such things has ever given proof. And here I am, a guy who's been around longer than almost anyone, and a guy who posted on Off Topic for nearly 4 years, and I have never been a victim to this so called "false banning".
@JBAgamestar
I've said "BF" and other filtered things in-game, and received no ban. Maybe it's because I'm special in the mods eyes and they don't want to ban me, but the more logical reason is because I just so happened to say something filtered, while saying something that wasn't really against the rules. |

@boring, Seriously though, just because it isn't happening to you it doesn't mean the problem does not exist. You may just have happened to avoid these triggers that ban you despite the rules.
I'm sure ROBLOX's moderation has evolved a lot since that ban to fix the problem but there are still many modern issues with the system. |

| All about that probability. For so many years, I've seen countless forumers get banned for what they claim to be "no reason". Yet it never happened to me, despite it happening to everyone around me. What am I, invincible? Lol |

Though it wasn't necessarily a "moderation action", it was a scare nonetheless. Apparently, ROBLOX allows Minecraft Decals. But they also don't allow Minecraft Decals.
Decal: http://www.roblox.com/Diamond-Sword-item?id=106799308 (Hey ROBLOX, if you didn't want Minecraft content in your game, you should have prevented the decal from being uploaded in the first place. Along with many of the other ones when searching for that decal.)
Place: http://www.roblox.com/games/235382707/BC-Zen-Teleportation-95 (Was later replaced by http://www.roblox.com/games/245413323/Zen-Teleportation-95)

I mean come on, would Mojang/Notch really get offended by this? My game at the time was restricted to BC members and not very popular.
Every time ROBLOX moderates, their corruption goes up. The innocent go punished, and the corrupt users get away with it.
And again, you wonder why I have anger issues. |

So yeah, I agree with you OP, ROBLOX should improve their moderation.

Food for thought: I've been reporting two threads where the person threatened to take their life for the last hour.
They are both still up.
System working as intended or proving my point that it's a broken mess? |
