Content deleted builderman

An image of Builderman holding a hammer (which if interpreted by the lines, may be missing) with a confused expression is used to denote page errors, commonly as a result of content deletion.

Content deletion (stylized as [ Content Deleted ], formerly [Content Deleted]) is a moderation action performed by moderators on Roblox when an asset or item violates the Roblox Terms of Use. Any user-generated content, such as places, Marketplace items and Creator Marketplace assets, are subject to content deletion. An account suspension may also be given to the creator of the item.

  • Usernames that get reset by moderators usually get replaced with "roblox_user_[ID]" and "UN[numbers]" (formerly "Reset[numbers]" & "ycc[4-digit number]").
  • Inappropriate group names are replaced with "[ Content Deleted <Group ID> ]" or "[content deleted - <Group ID>][1].
  • In older versions of Roblox, the thumbnails of deleted models appeared as a red truss.⁠[citation needed]
  • If a place is deleted, it is replaced by the default starter place and/or made inaccessible.
  • Before chat filtering used the # number signAlso known as hastags., chat messages which contained inappropriate content in the word blacklist were not displayed to other users at all.
  • About pages are replaced with [ Content Deleted ].

False 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, which is a serious problem for fan games.
  • Sometimes, an asset, including a game marked as [ Content Deleted ] can still have its content, with an example being Pacifico 2: Playground Town whose name was changed to "[ Content Deleted ]" in July 2020.

  • An old way that Roblox content deleted a user was by replacing their name with "yyc[4-digit number]" if their username had an inappropriate word(s) in it. An example of this occurring is yyc7429.
