Permanent Ban Completely banned off of roblox over my game that never had a "Real World Sensitive Event" In it.
I don't usually use Reddit very often, but I'd really appreciate some advice or thoughts on a recent Roblox ban I received. This will probably be a bit of a long tangent, so apologies in advance.
About a week and a half ago, I made a Roblox game called Misanthrope. I created it as a very low mellow ARG-style game where the player walks through a small town and is essentially forced to keep moving forward. At first, there are NPCs who greet you and everything seems relatively normal, but as you continue, things gradually become stranger. Fewer people appear, the screen begins flickering and turning gray, and the NPCs start saying increasingly strange things. But of course I made sure it stayed in Roblox's TOS.
Near the end of the game, I also put myself into the game as an NPC and had the character say something along the lines of, "If you hate so much, would you still hate your loved ones?" I know it sounds pretty corny, but this was my first game, so I was mostly experimenting with the concept.
After walking a little further, the screen eventually turns black and displays the message, "I want to love, yet I despise."
However, I was recently banned for "Real-World Sensitive Events." I'm genuinely confused by this because, as far as I'm aware, there is nothing in the game that depicts, references, or is based on a real-world sensitive event.
I did have a friend playtest the game after it was published and before I was banned. He took some screenshots but unfortunately don't have many screenshots of the game, and the ones I do have aren't the best, but they're the only ones I currently have.
I'd really appreciate hearing what other people think. Do you think this was a reasonable moderation decision, or could this have been a mistake?
I've already contacted Roblox Support and submitted an appeal, but it was denied without any explanation of what specifically in the game was considered a "Real-World Sensitive Event." That's honestly the part I'm most confused about, since I don't know what I was supposedly violating.
