More on our Removal of Vigilantes From Roblox
We are sharing more information about why it was necessary to remove vigilantes from Roblox, and the ways in which we review and act on reports of abuse on Roblox.
While seemingly well-intentioned, the vigilantes we’ve banned have taken actions that are both unacceptable and create an unsafe environment for users.
Similar to actual predators, they often impersonated minors, actively approached other users, then tried to lead them to other platforms to have sexually explicit conversations (which is against our Terms of Use).
Accurate, timely reporting from our community is important. Reporting through the appropriate channels, including our custom-designed reporting tools, immediately and with as much specific information as possible is the best way to help us remove bad actors from Roblox.
Roblox Defends Banning 'Vigilante' Users As Schlep Suspension Sparks Backlash
Popular online gaming platform Roblox has faced a storm of controversy after it banned a self-described “predator hunter” and defended its removal of “vigilante” users, sparking backlash from gamers and a petition from Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who urged the platform to protect its massive cohort of child users.
Roblox published a lengthy statement to its website Wednesday defending its ban on “vigilante” users—Roblox users who try to catch child predators on the gaming platform and report them to authorities—stating these users have taken “actions that are both unacceptable and create an unsafe environment for users.”
Roblox acknowledged these users are “well-intentioned,” but said their actions evolved to become “similar to actual predators” as they “started impersonating children and actively sought to connect with adult users,” and the platform instead urged users to report suspected predators through Roblox’s moderation tools.

YouTuber caught sexual predators on Roblox. Now he’s facing ban from the platform.
A popular Roblox content creator alleged the platform has threatened to ban him for his involvement in exposing sexual predators on Roblox through Youtube videos.
Schlep, a longtime Roblox and YouTube user, said the online gaming platform sent him a cease and desist notice due to his actions violating the company‘s polices.
The content creator posted the full notice to his X (formerly Twitter) account Saturday.
Roblox’s letter claimed that the 22-year-old’s “actions are a violation of Roblox policies and directly undermine Roblox’s safety efforts and, critically, are exposing our users to increased risk.”
