Content deletion

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 by Roblox to denote page errors, commonly as a result of content deletion. You will often be met with this image if you try to look at an account that has been deleted.

A content deletion (stylized as [ Content Deleted ], formerly [Content Deleted]) is a moderation action performed by moderators when an item or a blurb 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 sign, 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 ].

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, 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 got changed to "[ Content Deleted ]" in July 2020.
