Edit: Username was “SmoochyPit”
Wanted a place to dump this. I stopped playing in February when they prevented playing on Linux via Wine. Tried logging in now that Sober exists (sometime in August), and was met with this.
My account and username is 11 years old. I’ve spent money on premium currency and items. Hasn’t ever been a problem. I tried to appeal…
I was not given any notice about it. I checked, and there was not an email sent when my account was actioned. No warnings, not a thing.
I tried to explain this in a reply, but they shut it down, saying there would be no further communication on this issue, since it was more than 30 days old.
Feels super unfair. But I’m powerless here…
my username has ‘pew’ in it.
bullshit. sorry it happened

Seems really stupid on their part to not just force a name change.
Though I guess maybe they hope you’ll just rebuild everything.

I wonder if its some regex mistake where because it has the letter ‘s h i t’ in that order even though theres letters in between, it got flagged.

Deep, deep deep in Scunthorp territory. A homan being should have been around to clear that flag.
Oh… I’ve never once considered that. But that’d make sense as to why it only recently picked it up— historically, the profanity filters were super easily bypassed. Maybe they tightened them up!

Take them to small claims court. Make them show up.

Small claims court? Get a refund for all money spent since they took your stuff and ran?
Can virtual goods like this apply? Especially against the company? I assume they’d have a “no guarantees” type clause in the EULA…

You probably agreed to binding arbitration, so you could file a case with an arbiter.

Roblox employee reviewing the account: “SmoochyPit sounds like a euphemism for a vagina or butthole. BANNED!”
