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…

Yeah… the way they treat developers and monetization is super scummy. Not to mention their lack of action towards child safety concerns. There’s definitely better ways to spend my time.

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.

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.

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!

Deep, deep deep in Scunthorp territory. A homan being should have been around to clear that flag.

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

In your honor I’ll use the term Smoochy Pit to refer to something lewd. At least then at least you’ll have your very own term named after you! Any suggestions on what it should mean?

I appreciate that. Kissing armpits as a kink would be pretty reasonable*, I’d be up for that**!

*Reasonable to refer to **I’d be up for it to be referred to that way

As another comment said, it could probably be a euphemism for vagina too~ but I don’t know anything about that. o7
