I was playing an old favorite Roblox game called Naval Warfare with some friends. While controlling a boat, I tried to type ‘torpedo’ to describe the missile-like weapon I was firing. English isn’t my first language, so when I typed ‘tor ped0’ (with a zero instead of an ‘o’), I accidentally included a space and the wrong character. Right after, someone asked me what I was doing, and I explained I meant ‘torpedo.’ Suddenly, I got kicked from the game and then permanently banned for ‘Child exploitation.’ I already appealed twice, but got denied. Has anyone else faced something like this or knows what I can do to reverse this mistake?

If you haven’t already, maybe try reaching out through their official support channels one more time, clearly stating it was an innocent typo and what you meant by it. Sometimes repeated polite attempts help, but if they’ve already rejected you twice, it might be a dead end sadly.
Honestly, your best bet might be to wait it out or start fresh if appeals aren’t working. Roblox’s moderation can be really tough on certain keyword flags. For future games, try avoiding ambiguous spellings and stick to simpler words like ‘missiles’ to prevent accidental triggers. Not much you can do if the system locked you out permanently already.
I ran into something similar once. The key is to be super clear and polite in your appeal, explaining exactly that it was a typo and you meant ‘torpedo’ as in the weapon. Sometimes it helps to mention you speak English as a second language and didn’t intend anything harmful. If they’ve denied you twice, though, chances are slim they’ll reverse it quickly.
Yeah, that sounds like a harsh auto-ban triggered by Roblox’s chat filters misunderstanding your message. Unfortunately, their system can be quite strict, especially when certain words or characters resemble flagged content. You’ve done the right thing by appealing and explaining the situation, but these appeals often get denied if the filter just flags the message automatically.
Yeah, I realize typing ‘tor ped0’ looked suspicious, but it’s frustrating because I was just trying to talk about the game. I’ll try to be more cautious in the future.
