#Roblox ! My account from 2008 was banned on March 8 2019 for copyright violations. On March 15, a method to comply with DMCA takedowns PENALTY-FREE was introduced. Your support team refuses to hear me out; I just want a fair chance to get my old account back!

@Readyplayeron17 @SpeedRicky54 Nope.

@truesnek No, not for me at least.

@Rage_roiter @ElectroPixx @MeatRBLX You get warned 2 times for copyrighted items and then permabanned.

@ElectroPixx @MeatRBLX @breakingbaddly what the fuck is 3 strikes

@ElectroPixx @SalamenceT Roblox messages your account on the website.

@Fox_HyperTwitch I'm unsure, but it all depends on if those items are copyrighted in the end of course.

@UrbanRBX @TrustMeImRuski It would be a little reasonable if there was a method to straight up purge all of your uploads without needing admin intervention. The method that ROBLOX has right now is definitely better than nothing, though. It CAN be tedious.

@MiracleDropsRBX Models actually

@Alickswoot was this for clothing or audio ??

@Crazyblox_Dev I certainly got the warnings and understood them, but there was NO system in place to get rid of this stuff prior to March 15..what was I actually supposed to do?

@Crazyblox_Dev I had two warnings, as per the three strike system. Username is alexwootton. My biggest problem with this is I had no method to actually get rid of the copyrighted content on the account, prior to my termination. All I could do was wait for this to happen.

@Fox_HyperTwitch If you're scared they might be copyrighted, follow this link devforum.roblox.com/t/update-to-3-…

@TrustMeImRuski Yup. It's so impractical! Since this account was from 2008 I would've had to gone through so many pages and copied the links into a .txt file. But I never even got the chance to do that.

@Alickswoot I'm still refusing to do a witch hunt through 8 years of models (on this account alone) without even knowing what risks a copyright 'strike'. They need to be more clear on this all & give us the option to remove our own uploaded/created content.

@BinaryC_ @electroblazer I need to get the word out before they listen. If enough users make enough noise, ROBLOX may have to at least acknowledge something. It has happened to me and at least a few other souls. They need to owe up to a genuine mistake. It's the right thing to do.

@Lauren81810201 I believe this is called a "grandfather clause"?

@SalamenceT I hope the same. My tweet is getting a lot of attention, so it might get somewhere. But I don't know, yet. ROBLOX needs to address this situation, because it's not good.

@Alickswoot Indeed, let's hope Roblox don't mess that up again. (which they most likely will with another update in the far far future) I really hope your account gets re-instated back for you and everyone else's accounts for anyone who's been affected by such unjust bans.

@SalamenceT Yeah. The problem is they released the copyright banning before you had a chance to even comply. If they did the updates in the opposite order, NONE of this would have happened. The way they did it is nonsensical and problematic.

@Alickswoot Indeed, they need that copyright protection. I agree with your points entirely. Roblox needs to execute their updates better and give people a chance to email the team, 100%. Otherwise, it's more than likely going to lead to public complaints.

@SalamenceT @DrSpectacless Who knows what will happen in the future. They seem more concerned with avoiding lawsuits so they ban first, ask later. I'm upset that they won't acknowledge I haven't gotten a fair chance to save my account.

@Alickswoot @DrSpectacless And it will affect anyone now. Sure, this was in place to also protect clothing designers from having their work stolen and re-uploaded by bots, but this is blasphemy from Roblox's support team. Roblox staff are now false-ban-happy i guess...?

@SalamenceT By law ROBLOX needs to have a punishment system for people who violate copyright. It's not bad to punish people for that, but the fact of the matter is they didn't even give anyone a chance to comply BEFORE punishments were handed out.

@Alickswoot Jeez, Roblox just gets worse and worse for the veterans of the site. They should have given people a chance to respond instead of being ignorant. When will the roblox staff finally realise they're not giving anyone a chance to step forward until they ban the (user's) account....?

@H_unTerRBLX Look through all of your creations (models, decals, t-shirts, etc.) and check for copyrighted material. If you have anything copyrighted, follow what this link says devforum.roblox.com/t/update-to-3-…

@Black_RoseRBLX It may very well happen to anyone. They have poorly enforced this rule with ridiculous oversights that you're seeing play out in real time.

@Alickswoot Im afraid it will happen to me I emailed the team eith over 130 links to decals I made that are yugioh cards I also asked them to just delete my wjole Decal inventory and any images ive ever created. Because I have some offsale decals that I deleted that I cant see
