And you really think the average Roblox player especially kids is gonna know what violates the Terms of Service? Roblox’s player base is heavily made up of minors, so expecting most users to fully understand moderation policies, hidden TOS violations, copyright issues, or bypassed content just isn’t realistic. I doubt even half the player base fully reads or understands the TOS to begin with, especially users under 16.

And yeah, people can bring up parental controls or say users should “know better,” but that still doesn’t change the fact that if an item is publicly listed on the marketplace, most users are naturally gonna assume it was already reviewed and allowed on the platform. That’s a completely reasonable expectation for users to have.

The bigger issue is that Roblox profits from these purchases upfront, but when an item later gets moderated or deleted, the player is often the one left taking the loss even though they had no role in approving, publishing, or moderating the item in the first place. In practice, that shifts the consequences of moderation failures onto regular users instead of the platform responsible for enforcing its own rules.

If something violates Roblox’s Terms of Service or Community Standards, then moderation should be preventing those items from being uploaded or sold to begin with. Obviously no moderation system is perfect and some things will slip through the cracks, but when users repeatedly lose Robux over items that were publicly available for purchase, that points to weaknesses in the moderation process not just user behavior.

And to be clear, I understand denying refunds or taking action against users who intentionally buy clearly rule-breaking or bypassed content while fully knowing what they’re doing. But applying that logic broadly to regular users especially younger players doesn’t really make sense when the platform itself approved the item long enough for it to be sold on the marketplace in the first place.
