This was always going to befall .
Roblox is taking a decisive measure to clean up its Marketplace with the introduction of the Proactive Marketplace Archive , a organization that is designed to automatically archive avatar item that may infringe on intellectual property ( IP ) right hand .
Starting from September 4 , 2024 , both 2D and 3D avatar token , like t - shirt and accessary , will be file away if they do n’t follow with Roblox ’s Terms of Use and Community Standards . God Almighty wo n’t want to take any action themselves , as Roblox will care the process . Twitterseems happy with the change , with UGC CreatorVhaegacommenting that this is " the only good decision Roblox has made so far in 2024 ! ! "
This alteration stems from long - standing worry voiced by users who uploaded content when they were youthful and less aware of the implications of using copyrighted material . One biotic community membercommented , " majuscule update , beaming that something like this has been add — acknowledging that a lot of people uploaded IP - infringing substance without knowing 6 + long time ago ( normally Hellenic shirts / trouser ) where I ’m sure a slew of people do n’t even bed that they can submit a manual request for file away them . "
However , the change wo n’t affect everything . Limited item , bundles , range of a function , models , and meshes are not cover under this system . user whose items are archived will experience inbox notifications and email , but , the most important thing is that they wo n’t face up any account temperance import from having these items - such as gettingbanned .
While the move is a relief for some , it ’s not without controversy . Another long - clock time uservoiced thwarting , read , " I would n’t be surprised , candidly , if Roblox was purposefully allowing this for as long as possible to bring in revenue from it until they were n’t able-bodied to anymore . It ’s the right approach shot , for now , but … it will for good and irreversibly damage honest-to-god game , as well as innocent fan projects . "

Despite the concern , Roblox ’s focus on build tools to better do IP is realise conservative optimism . In the come calendar month , a new self - serve feature will roll out , allowing Creator to archive their own incarnation items — something many users are excited about due to current hold in manual petition .
While the immediate futurity might be rocky for some creators , Roblox ’s latest efforts finally seem gear toward balancing originative freedom with regard for IP rights . YouTube commentersseem to mainly be concerned with lose their cosplay point , but Roblox has been refunding the Robux spent on archived item , and I would hope that user would rather not be outwear steal design .
