Full DevForum bug report with the moderation timeline, comparisons to other Publishing Spam cases, and my lack of prior severe account bans, supported by a Roblox moderation-history data export (CSV provided privately to staff):

On Nov 8, Roblox permanently banned dark1020 for “Publishing Spam” over ONE UGC recolor, uploaded with authorization from its original creator. My first UGC/Marketplace violation. Why permanent termination for a single upload?

Roblox can terminate you for uploading your own items.

This is due to the new "similar item" flag, which has been falsely labeling items as stolen, even when the mesh and texture belong to the original creator.

User "Amytonic" had their appeals instantly denied despite clearly creating the item themselves, the mesh itself being made an entire year earlier.

Creators are asking for a proper appeals process & asset sharing capabilities to avoid this happening to partnered stores.

@amyrosekawaii Thank you, I really appreciate that! Just curious, when you mentioned one item receiving two moderation actions, were both actually issued against the same accessory ID? I also noticed your five appeals still show as denied, even though your suspension was reduced to 3 days?

[Dark1020 @RathyP1]

@amyrosekawaii @4Lulzy @Jer3Dz That's a strange reduction without an explanation. I'm the person terminated over one authorized UGC recolor, and I cited your DevForum report because you received a temporary ban for multiple items while mine was permanent for a single upload. Hopefully Roblox adjusts this.

[Dark1020 @RathyP1]

@idelww @4Lulzy @Jer3Dz Fair point, I'm the user mentioned. I've had other moderation: Roblox's export lists 18 chat nudges, 2 timeouts and mostly 1-day bans. My 2025 3-day ban was appealed and overturned that day. No account bans in 2026 before this, and no prior UGC Publishing Spam. Staff have my CSV.
