TOO LONG; DIDN'T READ? Please go to the end of the post for a shortened version, however, please if you can, read the full version as I feel it explains better.
For those who don't know, when you are banned, you are no longer allowed to go on alts. I think this policy is new as I remember seeing a Terms of Use update dialog not to long ago. In the terms of use under "Suspension/Termination" under "Accounts", at the very end, it says "If you are suspended or banned from using the Service, you are not allowed to use the Service, including signing up for a new Account.".
Please don't do this, ROBLOX. For one, I think having to use an alt is a punishment enough, you don't have all your items and money, and if you have builders club, you don't have that either on your alt. And for people who buy limiteds, they will miss out on those if they can't go on the main account with money and buy them in time.
Not only that, it's scary because what if you get false reported and banned? What if someone else was on your account and gets you banned? Then you can't go on ROBLOX even when it wasn't your fault. You could appeal, but it takes time so maybe you won't be able to get on for quite a while.
Some of you may say "Oh, it's just a couple days", but think about this. What if you woke up, all excited to play a game with your friends and then you go on and find out their servers are shut down for maintenance. Huge disappointment and inconvenience. Also, I'm sure most of you have been banned for minor offenses if not more than once already. You know how easy it is to get those bans. I'm concerned we will have to act all cautious and that we won't be able to express ourselves just in case we might be taken offensively and get banned. We should be able to have fun, not always have a fear of getting banned. Please ROBLOX, don't do this.
SHORTENED VERSION (I hope) -There's a new policy in the terms of use banning the use of alt accounts in Suspension/Termination>Accounts, at the very end, it says "If you are suspended or banned from using the Service, you are not allowed to use the Service, including signing up for a new Account."
-I feel having to use an alt is a punishment enough. Don't have your items, money, builders club, and won't be able to buy limiteds in time.
-What if you are false reported or someone on your account gets you banned? You can appeal but that takes time.
-Some might say "Oh, it's just a couple days" but imagine this, what if you woke up, all excited to play a game with your friends and then you go on and find out their servers are shut down for maintenance. Huge disappointment and inconvenience.
-Being banned for minor offenses is easy to get IMO, we will have to act all cautious and not be able to express ourselves just in case we might be taken offensively and get banned. |

I've actually cut down the amount of foruming I do now because on my old account, the bans just added up until I had too many. With the new ToS, it's just making it less enjoyable to express my opinion.

in my opinion, it depends on the ban.
if you where ban for account theft, then you shhould'nt make a new account
but if its something simple like cussing then you should be able to make a new one
but i honestly doubt roblox will care

@jj
yeah i agree, like hacking and account theft you shouldn't be able to. however, it should be for sure that you are hacking or stealing accounts, not on suspicion. |

I hope it doesn't come down to this, and I don't think it will. But good thinking, OP. |

It doesn't matter because they have literally no way of enforcing this.
There's no time for resting. |

support we must save the alts especially if relatives use these "ALTS" even if it's their account. |

like everything, it varies
ban for what reason, if a person was banned because of profanity, or creating...those type of games, then they shouldn't have access to creating alts

@princess but maybe they figuring out how to do it right now and soon they will start cracking down?
@clurny exactly, we don't know if they will enforce it until it is too late, when that policy is no longer new and they are less likely to consider changing it.
@spy thank you.
@leafy they could find a way, that's what people said about netflix blocking customers who bypass geo-restrictions and look at it them now. |

no it's entirely reasonable. you're allowed to use as many accounts as you'd like really as long as you're not using them to exploit (not the hacking type of exploit) games and stuff. but the instant you get banned or terminated, that is roblox saying "you have done something wrong and as long as this moderation lasts we do not want you on our site". if you're terminated, that is essentially a permanent ban therefore roblox does not want you on their site ever again.
some alt usage isnt really punishment. this account is an alt. if i had to use this when i was banned i wouldn't really complain other than the fact that i can't manage a handful of things thanks to no bc. but alt usage while banned is now against the tos, so i will do other things unless i find the ban unreasonable. |

| The use of alts should be banned if the original person stole an account, exploited, or scammed someone. |
