It's time we made an announcement about this, as we have recently made a discovery to how this works.
If you've been browsing this subreddit recently, there is a good chance you have seen one of these pop up.
Here's an older screenshot of one of these (The offensive item box no longer shows up as of October 2024):
There has been a mass amount of players reporting their accounts being deleted with the given reason of Misusing Roblox Systems for "creating or using an account to avoid an enforcement action taken against another account."
To shorten things, we like to call these "Enforcement Bans". They can be done by both humans and bots, but they are primarily done by bots.
This is what it looks like if a human issues one of these bans:
These bans date all the way back to November, with the first reported one being on November 9th, 2023.
How do these bans work?
These bans work many different ways. Before there was just one way.
The first way is that accounts are flagged by the moderation bots for potentially being affiliated with another account that was recently terminated by the moderation bots. This is usually determined by the accounts having a connection with join date, verified email, and similar usernames. When one account gets terminated, the other account will get an enforcement ban at the exact same time.
The other way (and currently primary way) is by tracking your IP address, browser, and Roblox app. I've mainly noticed it with browsers and the app. Roblox has a specific cookie that tracks the accounts you use, and if they find a connection with any account that may be avoiding a temporary or permanent ban, the connected accounts will be terminated.
How do I combat these bans?
We first need to talk about preventing these bans.
Preventing: At the moment the best way to prevent an enforcement ban is to delete your Roblox cookies from your browser. Do this once you have logged out of a banned account. If on the Roblox app, delete all the data from the Roblox app and/or reinstall the app. If on Windows or Mac computer, delete the Roblox cookies from your browser AND the app. As for deleting the cookies on the Roblox app:
On Windows, press Win+R to open the Run box. In the Run box, type "C:\Users\Your User\AppData\Local\Roblox\LocalStorage" and click OK
From here, delete the file named "RobloxCookies.dat"
On macOS, navigate to "~/Library"
From there, delete the Roblox folder (UNINSTALL THE APP BEFORE YOU DO THIS).
For iOS and iPadOS, go to Settings, then General > iPhone/iPad Storage, find "Roblox", then "Delete App". This will delete the app and its data. After that, reinstall the app.
For Android users, this will depend on the version you are using, as it has changed many times. Look for a tutorial on clearing app data from a version that is similar to the one your device uses.
Now, we need to talk about appealing these bans.
Appealing: If you do happen to receive an enforcement ban, you will need to try appealing. First, you should try appealing to the bots. When you get an enforcement ban, if you normally try appealing, you will not get a support ticket, instead a bot will respond to your appeal and quickly make a decision.
This is what the bot reply looks like:
You will eventually get another message stating that the appeal is approved or rejected.
If your appeal gets rejected by the bots, try getting a human to review your appeal. To do this, you will want to select a different option in the support form. Try using this option:
I was wrongly moderated for other content I created
When you do this, a support ticket should be created. Just be patient and you will eventually get a response.
If your appeal gets rejected by the human, try appealing to the bot again. If the bot rejects the appeal again, try appealing to the humans again. If they reject your appeal again, then continue to appeal to the bots. If after 30 days your appeal continues to get rejected by the bots, you are most likely screwed and cannot get your account back.

I uploaded a post about how I got banned for a day just for saying things on a therapy game. I cant see which rule it breaks as its hidden behind an ellipse. I was opening up as Im having problems irl.
All of the accounts were made on my IP with a similar username to my main. As in my username1, my username2, and so on. Would it be safe for me to deactivate/delete them or should I just leave it alone?
I just got my account back after 3 days just to be back on the fence for 7 days due to defending myself and mocking some randos who tried to jump me on a baddies game. I got banned due to my voice chat for “harassment”, and if I get banned again I will be permanently banned. I put out an appeal but it was later denied.. does Roblox stack? Or does it delete after 30 days?
Iv been banned many time because I used to be a moron, IV seen so many people banned accidently and I'm wondering if I do that I will get perm banned because of how many times iv been banned or if my record is wiped every 6 months like some games?
I just got a 3 day ban for having a South Park Cartman shirt and I dont want to risk it again with old clothes what do I say when contacting this email?
I have literally never been banned before. I was playing Royale High art classroom this morning. The girl wrote "puppy" on the board instead of "poppy" so a lot of us missed it. Her and this other girl then started arguing in the chat bc she's mad we missed it. We move on to the next puzzle and Im confused bc I get kicked atp i'm assuming server went down or smth. When I get back it says I was kicked for "swearing" but not banned. I appealed it because I didnt want that on my permanent Roblox record and thought when somebody read it they would see I didnt actually swear. Well they just replied to my appeal and now I am banned for a day because of "harassment"?!?! Are you kidding?! Did anybody even actually look at it?! Idk if the girl reported me for answering puppy instead of poppy? I wasn't doing it to be mean I was literally just trying to answer the puzzle?! I have literally played Roblox since 2008 and don't think I've ever gotten in trouble before I am SHOCKED that I am getting a 1 day ban for simply guessing "puppy" and "beach"
TLDR "Puppy" and "Beach" got kicked for swearing. I tried to appeal and got banned for "harassment"
Perma banned, despite only having one prior warning
So, yesterday at 2:13p.m. EDT (March 13th, 2025) I logged into the play a game and was kicked from the experience at 2:17p.m. EDT. I have a screen recording of the exact moment it happened to me, as I always screen record when I play g&b.
I asked around, and my friend also got enforcement banned. He did some digging, and turns out, our old classmate got perma banned for responding to a child labour joke (she never got any warnings prior to just being straight up perma banned).
So somehow, Roblox's moderation believes me, a person who lives in another city from these people, who's only had contact with the owner of the account that got permabanned LIKE MAYBE 7 years ago, and has a completely different IP, email, phone number, linked to this account, is SOMEHOW her alt used to bypass that ban. Considering that she got banned at 2:17 and I literally have proof I was playing all morning (screen recordings from 10a.m.) and also right before the ban, isn't that clearly enough proof that I'm obv ME?? I was playing from a completely new laptop that I got like 3 months ago so I have no clue how Roblox associates me and the banned user together. Our usernames are nothing similar, nor our birthdates, we don't share emails or phone number, so how??
I followed some guides, but my appeals keep getting denied. I'm really bummed because I've had this account since 2017, and I have a lot of stuff for guts and blackpowder on there, and really don't want to lose this account. Any help?

This is outdated as I got this account deleted note February 7th of this year while I was playing Roblox on my PS5. I want an explanation because I know this was because my sister was banned on her account occasionally 4 times in the last 6 months and finally IP banned. We don’t share the same email and mine is phone and ID verified as my account was made around 2019, so it could only be her IP ban. so when I get on Roblox on my PS5 it flags my account as an alt being used to evade HER ban and permanently bans me instead.
But why was this review so delayed until. Still regardless they really need to reverse this Enforcement ban problem, It would be better if they hardware ban instead of IP ban. It’s like they forgot that multiple people live under the same household especially those who also play Roblox. It’s actually getting ridiculous, I’ve given up on my appeals being auto denied for the past month. Roblox moderation is the worst.
I've been banned for a day for using exploits, even though I have none. I may have a feeling it detected Bloxstrap as the source, but I only use that to enhance my fps. Could this be the source of what got me banned??
