Content deletion

A content deletion  (stylized as [ Content Deleted ], formerly [Content Deleted]) is a moderation action performed by moderators when an asset violates either the Terms of Use or the Roblox Community Standards. Any user-generated content such as places, forum posts, avatar shop items, and blurbs, are subject to moderation or content deletion.


 * Usernames that get reset by moderators usually get replaced with "Reset &lt;random numbers&gt;", formerly "[ Content Deleted &lt;UserID&gt; ]".
 * Inappropriate group names are replaced with "[ Content Deleted &lt;Group ID&gt; ]".
 * Models that require content deletion are replaced with a red truss.
 * If a place is deleted, it is replaced by the default starter place (formerly flat terrain) or made inaccessible. Before chat filtering, chat messages which contained inappropriate content were replaced with "[ Content Deleted ]".

Fake content deletions
Players often imitate content deletions on their own content as a form of humor. Examples of this include replacing "deleted" with another verb, such as "[ Content Exploded ] " or " [ Content Removed ]". Users who intentionally posted "[ Content Deleted ]" on the now-defunct forums could have received moderation actions on their account.

Reverting deleted accounts
Users are encouraged to appeal content deletion, terminated accounts, or a reset username if they believe that they were unfairly moderated. If a username appeal is successful, users are prompted to change their account's name, after which they can fully access their account.

Criticism

 * Many users claim that various assets get deleted without any true violation of the Terms of Use..
 * False reporting can cause appropriate content to be flagged as inappropriate.
 * Sometimes, a game marked as [ Content Deleted ] can still have it's content, with an example being Pacifico 2: Playground town, which the name got changed to [ Content Deleted ] in July 2020.

Trivia

 * An old way that Roblox content deleted a user was by replacing their name with yyc *a random four-digit number* if their username had an inappropriate word(s) in it. An example of this occurring is, who's former name can still be seen by viewing their starter place.
