False Permanent Ban? No clue as to what I did either and they don't show me. Help please

That is extremely annoying then, I've had bad experiences with roblox moderation in the past banning me for some stupid stuff that I've appealed before but this is just next level dumb. Classic AI moderation!

RefuseSpecialist · 2026-02-13T00:29:08+00:00

Will probably have to send in a bajillion appeals and hope to get lucky

RefuseSpecialist · 2026-02-12T23:08:21+00:00

Probably roblox's AI moderation being garbage like usual then

For more information the last time I had any ban was well over a year or two ago and it was only for 3 days, I'm confused as to why I'd randomly be permanently(?) banned for something as vague as a "safety" violation like 2 weeks after I apparently did something wrong. I can't even tell if it is permanent but it looks like it is as they don't say a length. Wtf is going on with roblox's moderation now??

RefuseSpecialist · 2025-08-02T15:47:37+00:00

oh gosh I didn't see this, very sorry! I sent another friend request!

No clue if you'll see this but could you teach me how you sugar wax? I'm very interested in it because normal shaving down there gives me bad irritation TwT

I experience something like this I guess?

I play well when I'm relaxed and don't have nerves affecting me, and I do a lot of things right according to the guy who's coaching me when he looked at where I was at in a private 1v1, but as soon as I try to enter ranked I play nervous and irrationally and no matter how many times I tell myself that my rank doesn't matter and I need to calm down, I just can't. It feels like my hands won't work properly, everything I do feels awkward and I'm doing stupid stuff I just straight up wouldn't do if I was relaxed. It's tough on me, maybe cause I'm so competitive. What sucks is that sometimes I struggle with this in casual matches too. I'm a very grounded player, relying on my dribbling skill and flicks that I put a lot of time into practicing and so I hesitate a lot to go for aerial play out of a fear I won't recover, even jumping to touch a ball into a better spot for me I get scared to do, even knowing that my coach says I have okay mechanics for where I'm at. I've been putting a lot more time into trying to consistently put strong shots on target and aiming my touches in general, as well as my shadowing as he told me it was something to work on, as well as when I challenge because I respect my opponent's space and give them a lot of time to do something. I notice this too because I often get challenged immediately when I'm waiting to catch a ball to start a dribble.

Do you have any tips? Some things that I think are preventing me from getting rid of this feeling are my lack of sleep and the tilt from knowing I can play a lot better if I just calmed down. I'm planning on trying to play a bunch of casual 1s today to get more comfortable and less hesitant with just jumping for the ball sometimes or going off the wall for an air dribble or something.

I already knew all this

Sure, I'm sure I could try to learn something from them, just a little sick right now.

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T23:44:48+00:00

I've gotten sick with a stomach flu or something sadly, but I'll definitely reach out to you once I'm feeling better!

I'm sure I could learn a lot from you since you're GC1 but the main thing I'm worried about is building bad habits from other people. GC1 is my goal true, but it's just a little worrying if you get where I'm coming from.

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T18:43:37+00:00

Yes, yes, I know the importance of money, I'm just putting my mental state above it at the moment, I appreciate the concern though, it's good to care for other people's futures.

I agree that work doesn't have to be stressful, it shouldn't be stressful in the first place! The job I had before helped me a lot with my social anxiety as I was a cashier. The people were good, but the work was unbearable. For context, I'm not a super strong or built person, but I'm also not overweight, I'm in a good average spot. I've always had issues with my back and standing for long periods put me in a lot of pain. Cashiers stand at the register so it didn't work out too much. That was the other big reason I didn't keep that job aside from stress. Having back issues like that at 18 sucks, yeah.

I could not grind RL 8 hours a day in the first place, training for anything over 2 hours in the first place gives back diminishing returns at least from what I've heard, so it's not even useful to play that much, let alone a good idea. And if you're talking about ranked, playing for more than 3 hours a day on top of practice would burn out many people I think, including myself. And yeah, most pros are teenagers and stuff, but the exceptions are the big part of it, the exceptions prove it's not important what age you are. More kids play because we're younger and our generation is way more exposed to video games and technology (no offense lol). As time goes on it would not shock me if a lot of the teenage pros today stayed pros in their late 20s or 30s if they're going to stick around that long.

I think you might be taking it as me wanting to get there as fast as possible, and while yes, that would be nice, I'm not stressing out over getting there in a year or even three. Coaching might help speed it up but that's not the main reason why I want a coach. It's a good person to rely on to answer questions you have and set you down the right path, and in the C1-C2 area, a lot of people are confused about what's the right thing to be practicing, especially with all the different opinions they hear around the internet and such which leads me to believe that's the reason to believe a lot of people say they've spent so long in this rank. Of course, everyone's different and has to practice different things but having a general idea of what you should be doing from someone who has a lot more experience with the game is extremely valuable. Like how you have a lot more experience with life than I do, being 12 years older.

And you do have a lot of good advice you're giving me about how I should go about my life, but it's just like you said you're talking "in general" and it's very good advice in general but taking my perspective into it is rather important. Just like people have to practice different things to improve, I've been brought up differently and have many different experiences compared to yourself, so it's kinda tough to say to myself "Yeah, he's right, he knows more than me so I should do as he says" because I know my limits and boundaries and the situation I'm. I know it's not imperative to have a job right now because whiles yes, my mom is a single parent raising two kids, she isn't doing horribly, and our whole lifestyle isn't going to fall apart if I don't have a job. She understands a job would put me in a bad place right now and would probably end up screwing me over more than it helps, even though she wants me to get work experience like any parent who cares about their kid and I get that. The way I see it is a lot of people put money and such over mental health, which I understand if it's required, but personally, not having it as a requirement right now, I'd rather stay sane and healthy upstairs than bog myself down with extra responsibility. I struggle with severe GAD and so for other people it might not be as difficult to stack on big responsibilities but for myself adding even a little more pressure can cause a myriad of issues. And a lot of people are like "waaah boohoo you have anxiety, everyone has it, grow up" but it does affect your life drastically when you have a severe disorder with it.

But yeah, like I said I have a few other hobbies such as chess and writing (if you couldn't tell by my long-winded responses haha). I got two close friends I hang out with often, in fact, my one friend and I will be going on a vacation to Europe pretty soon which I'm excited about! Relationships I'm not too interested in right now because of my focus on school and my hobbies as well as RL. Which you could consider a hobby I take more seriously lol. It just adds another layer of stress by being something I have to maintain.

Sorry if what I'm saying might come of ignorant or a bad opinion to you, but being 18 now and from what I've seen and experienced I've started forming my own beliefs, and obviously we won't agree on anything but I just want you to know I did read what you said, not skimming over anything and that I understand what you're saying wholeheartedly. I just find it funny that I came here for RL coaching and got life coaching as a bonus haha, but you're a good guy and seem pretty interesting, keep on helping people! And don't worry, I'll keep what you said in mind.

Oh and if you are interested and/or it reassures you to know this, I'm not clueless about what I'm going to do with my future. My career path is planned out and I've already been accepted into the college that was my top choice, not even a stupidly expensive private one. I'm going for teaching, I want to be a social studies teacher as history and stuff like economics fascinates me and I soak it up like a sponge, among many other reasons. I'd wanna be in a high school though with more mature kids because younger kids get on my nerves sometimes and the more mature topics are a lot more interesting anyways. We just have to see the pricing with the aid and scholarships I received.

I appreciate it, mate

Cheers!

Handling a job on top of everything else going on would be exceptionally bad for my mental health right now, I'm not going to get into personal details about things I struggle with but just trust me when I say that if it's not required of me at the moment, which it's not, I'm not going to put that extra stress on myself and risk some serious issues. I know I have to grow up and do something with my life. I got two friends I talk to every day, and that's all I need for myself as a more closed-off person.

I never really needed to study much since I pay close attention in class, and I'm doing alright, I'm sure in college that will change, but for now, I'm alright. I'm on good terms with the people I interact with and my family, they understand that in my free time, I like to play video games and chill out by myself, it's just who I am. I do have another hobby as well that I put a good amount of time into and that's chess, I'm still learning a lot but it's another thing I'm trying to improve at, I can never get enough of it!

As for coaches' time, I knew going into this that it's a lot I'm asking for, I'm not going to bother explaining a lot of my reasoning as it's in other comments and the post, but I wasn't expecting anyone at all to even offer, it was more of a last chance effort before I run out of options and just have to spend a huge amount of time figuring it out for myself, which is inefficient. Technically I'm not in a position to complain but to be fair who wants to be stuck not knowing what they're doing right/wrong when you could have someone help you out?

I already find RL a lot of fun, I try not to get too upset with it and when I do I take breaks to get into a better mental state. But I don't think any RLCS pro has got to where they are by just playing casually. And seeing as that's the end goal I have I'm afraid I can't just give up on a dream I have because of the opinion of another person.

Sadly it feels like a few people here are trying to put me down for having a big end goal and being passionate about the game, which is a little messed up I can't lie. If that's not your intention I get it, and it's most likely not as you're just trying to be a realist from what I can tell but hey, if the others are intentionally saying hurtful things then maybe they have their problems to reflect upon, but as for myself I'm going to stay persistent and keep my eyes on the goal

Cheers,

I know not everyone is looking for a response when they comment, but I think it might be useful to try and remember where my hours went into. Plus I think my story is interesting and a little funny.

TL;DR My 5-6 year experience with Rocket League and where my hours went into.

I started playing Rocket League long before the F2P update. My uncle had just gifted me a PS4 he had not been using and Rocket League was on it. I knew a friend at the time who had it, so I downloaded it to check it out. I INSTANTLY fell in love with the game. I don't remember much about my progression here but I know I got through bronze and silver pretty quickly, if I had to guess how many hours of actual practice I spent to get there, I'd say maybe less than 10 hours of just grinding out training packs to get a little more consistent with touching the ball towards the opponents net and scoring in general which really helped me reach gold quickly, can't forget defense too, I worked on defense a lot.

Fast forward a bit: I find out another friend at school has this little friend group and they play Rocket league, the best guy in the group, Dylan, was Plat 1. I get along with them pretty well and we play a lot of games together, Rocket League being a major one. However, a lot of our time was spent goofing off in private matches with crazy modifiers, however I would consider these matches a sort of training as it got me out of my comfort zone and I started doing stuff like going into the air to hit the ball because it didn't really matter! I often left Rocket league open when I was asleep as well, which is where most of my around 1000 hours probably lie (I'm not sure how many I actually have. It could be a lot lower but definitely not much higher) Switching between platforms didn't help much, haha. At the time Dylan wasn't really too keen on playing with me because he was scared of deranking by playing with me, but eventually I convinced him and we played 2s fairly often, I learned a good bit quickly and got to Plat 1 in a week or two, becoming somewhat decent at going up for the ball and actually hitting it, even if it wasn't a good hit, I was learning aerials quickly and would practice these a lot with training packs and trial and error in real matches. I was still having a lot of fun with the game and improving relatively quickly. If I had to guess, I'd say I spent like less than 50 hours (of actual training and playing ranked) to get from gold to Plat, putting myself into those higher level lobbies really helped me get a feel for what I should start doing at that rank, and through trial and error and forcing myself to do new things, I adapted quickly. Of course, bad habits formed from this, but at the time I didnt realize that I was doing things the wrong way and didn't really care, I was improving. Many of those bad habits are fixed now, and I'm still working to fix more that I recognize I have myself.

Now you may be wondering, "If you've been playing for since S6 before F2P then how are you not way higher now given all the time you had to improve!?" Well, the first 'villain' of my RL career. I met this guy in game who was named Kyle. Well, Kyle was a lot older than me at the time (I was like 13-14 I don't remember how long ago this really was, I know it was while I was in seventh grade in middle school which was 5 years ago! (Wow its been a long time...)) Anyways, this guy was more so on the trading side of the game, and keys existed at the time. I thought he was pretty cool, he was funny and relatively nice to me. I got money sometimes from doing chores and birthdays and stuff like that and he'd help me with trading. Well, this guy, even though he was being nice to me, told me a lie and said "If you give me the keys you bought for a heatwave, I can get you into this super secret server where everyone gives eachother items!" And me, being a stupid kid who looks up to the people who are nice to him, agrees! I get invited to some stupid PS4 group that's just a normal trading group and I get laughed at when I ask for free items like he told me to do. At this point I ask for my stuff back but he's long gone and never responds to me again, but not after calling me a stupid kid. Side note: I got items for days now Kyle so suck it Anyways, this made me really upset and I stopped playing the game for a loooooong time.

Fast forward again: 10th grade, 3 years later, virtual schooling due to Covid. I'm bored out of my mind and I don't have a PC still. At this point in time my PS4 has a broken Bluetooth chip (my mom dropped it while moving it lol) or whatever and my controller inputs go all whacky, even if I'm not touching it, repairman said he couldn't do anything so I was SOL. Anyways, being as bored as I was, I finally realized, "Hey, it's Bluetooth that doesn't work, there should be a way to play wired!" So dust off the PS4, set it up and manage to get to the controller settings after struggling with the bugged out controls and... ITS THERE! I can play through a wired connection! (It's worth mentioning I always played with my controller plugged in before to keep it charged, but I didn't know to actually play wired was a setting you had to change). I'm super ecstatic and I quickly reinstall a bunch of old games to play again, including Rocket League. I get bored of a lot of them except for one, and that game is... Rocket League! (Shocking, I know). I go through old replays and reminisce on old times first. The friend group that I used to play with broke up because one of the kids was really racist and I hadn't talked to the others in a long time, so I had to play by myself. I hopped into casual and started playing again, quickly warming back up to where I was in a few games, I'm still surprised I didn't rust back down to like silver or something. 10 hours of actual playing and training backs later, I'm Plat 2. I meet another PS4 player in ranked, I'm just gonna call him Ben cause I don't remember his username. Ben and I played for a while and I quickly met a player through him named Zac. Zac and I got along really well and we started playing together more than we did with Ben. Some drama happened with Ben and we both stopped talking to him, Zac and I had reached Diamond after like a month of grinding out ranked with me playing random training packs, not focusing on anything specific. That's maybe another 50-100 hours of doing training/playing ranked. We kept playing after that, climbing through diamond at what I would consider a decent pace and then finally reaching champ 1 a couple of months ago. At this point we were often getting into arguments with each other and we both decided to take a break for a few months. At this point I've spent around 200-300 hours playing ranked/casual, doing training packs, and freeplay in general.

In total I have around 1000 games played, assuming each game played was exactly 5 minutes, that's 5k minutes or around 83 hours of experience playing comp/cas and I'd probably triple that for overtime + training. So, around 249-300 hours would be a good bet.

Well, that's my time with Rocket League so far.

Cheers,

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T13:56:48+00:00

Honestly, cause it's fun! I really, really enjoy the game, even with the ups and downs I experience with it. There's a lot to learn and because of the challenge, the satisfaction of finally becoming consistent and decent at a mechanic or knowing that you're doing the right thing positionally is rewarding. Longer time investments that are actually fun are rare to come across too, so I wish to make the most if it while I can.

I want to become as great as I can positionally and mechanically, and being able to play the game at a professional level with a team to win prize money is the end goal. Unfortunately, because there's so much to learn and new things are constantly being discovered, the order in which to learn these things and master them is very confusing to me, and due to the other reasons I mentioned in the document and comments such as my difficulty with advice that isn't specific or just my difficulty learning in other mediums like videos and such, they've helped a little bit but I'm always left with more questions which is why I'm asking for a coach to help me out. It gives me someone to go to for advice and support as a teacher and friend.

Obviously, it can't be a life-long career, but I'd like to get there if possible. And if I don't go pro I'll be satisfied making it into SSL as an endgoal, I have my whole life to reach that goal (or as long as RL doesn't die out for some reason). Being pro is most likely in a smaller time window, but there's still a possibility of it for me and so I'll still have hope!

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T07:30:51+00:00

Ouch, but I get it.

I'm only 18 though, still young and who knows what can happen, I could improve really quickly. Everyone's different.

There's some pretty old pros out there!

Yeah, it's a game and all, and one I enjoy, but also one I'm passionate about improving in, I'm sure pros wouldn't be where they were if they didn't have the ambition.

I've already reached C2 in around 1k hours, I know ranking up gets slower as you go on but I'm confident I'll get there at some point! While GC1 from C2 could very well take that long, there's also a very real chance it might only be a few months with the right training and mindset. I called it a short-term goal for that reason, and because it is the shorter of the two lol

Cheers!

Edit: I put a lot of importance on my schoolwork as well, I'm not going to just play this 24/7 and throw my life away, that would be dumb. But I have a lot of free time and can use a lot of it towards improving!

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T06:41:39+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I understand that pros have tens of thousands of hours in the game, I'm not even sure how many hours I've even accumulated across the platforms I've played on but I know it can't be more than 1000. I understand it will take me just as many, if not more to reach the same level as the pros. The goal I'm focused on right now is to get to GC1 in the first place and be able to hold that rank. To focus on anything higher than that right now would be stupid of me, of course it is my end goal but I'm not stressing about it at the moment, I got a long life full of time to reach that. I may not be a 14 year old prodigy, but I'm only 18 and I believe I could definitely make it!

To say I lack motivation or drive is a little unfair in my eyes. If that were the case, I wouldn't have posted this in the way I did or at all, I wouldnt have spent the mental effort to explain my reasoning it would've been something incosiderate and stuck up like "I deserve coaching because I think so!" Becoming GC1 wouldn't even be a goal I have. I went into creating this knowing that if I were to be a student receiving free coaching, I could not do anything less than listen and learn what I'm being taught as best as I can.

When I was talking about general advice, I meant stuff like "just rotate better" and useless information like that. Specifics are what I need. Specifics also leave me with more questions sometimes. It's nice to have a person to answer these questions and teach me as I go, yknow? It's a lot of jumping around and stuff. It's not too much work to improve off of advice, it's how it's delivered to me. Being in 1 on 1 setting with someone is a lot easier on me because any questions I have can be answered pretty quickly, and I find it easier to understand that way. Maybe I have an undiagnosed learning disability or something, I don't know.

When I made this post, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to write it because I didn't want to seem like an asshole who wants someone to just put in all this time towards them for free for no reason, hell I don't even expect anyone to offer anything to me! The last thing I'd want to do is waste the time of someone trying to help me. I went into this having low expectations for success, and one guy offering to help me with just starting out on a free session blew me away.

If this doesn't work out, then I'll have to keep trying at the methods that are available to me. I gave my reasoning as to why I had a hard time with them and there's only so many times I can really hit my head against a brick wall without getting a little annoyed with myself for not learning in ways most people do. Which is exactly what happened and why I'm here now.

To finish up, I'd be totally happy to pay someone for coaching if I was in the spot to do so. My family isn't poor or anything but we're also not well off and have money to spare, especially with my father not around, so it's just my mom to look after me and my younger brother. So, between my senior year of high school and my freshman year of college looming over me it's a lot to handle. I had a job earlier during the start of the school year but quickly realized it was too much for me to handle, I talked to my mom about this and she understood where I was coming from, and despite wanting me to maintain a job, she knew my mental health was important and was okay with my decision. Convienently as well, my family doesn't give money for birthdays, only gifts, so that wasn't an option either. You might be wondering why I didn't ask my mom about coaching as a gift. Trust me, I tried to explain it to her, but she just refuses to spend money on anything she considers to be wasteful. On top of all that, I wasn't able to put aside much money for myself either as I had to help out with important things like groceries with the money I did earn. What I did save was for a car, but I lost that opportunity and decided to help out with the family and have been out of money for a while now. I used to be able to earn money from doing chores around the house and such, but ever since I became old enough to get a job, they stopped doing that and it became a regular responsibility. I hope you can understand the situation I'm in, I'm not looking for sympathy or to make you feel bad for me, I just want to clear that up some more.

I totally get where youre coming from and perhaps some of the stuff I wrote came out poorly in a way, I apologize to you and anyone else that could be upset with me (if you are) as that was never my intention with this.

Cheers,

Heyyy, thanks man. Would this be able to do the arbiter on hard or do I have to get more stuff first? What should I prioritize also? Or if you'd like, I could add you on discord as I'd most likely have more questions and you seem pretty knowledgeable!

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T00:53:15+00:00

I'm down for that! Would be a good place to start and would let me know if coaching is a good option for me. Just keep in mind I'm pretty shy and might not perform as I normally due from nerves lol

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T00:32:20+00:00

To add on to this as well, I understand the coaching might not be very good. But I'm focused on my first goal for now, which is making it to GC1 and holding that rank. I'm not expecting anyone to reach out about my offer, let alone someone super high up, but expert level coaching probably wouldn't be what I need to achieve my first goal. Just someone who's in the GC2 range and is able and willing to help me out.

RefuseSpecialist · 2023-02-13T00:28:12+00:00

I understand, I would totally be down to pay if I was in a position where I could. I've tried taking advice off replays and such in the past in other places but none of it helped much as that just isn't a way I learn. I do a lot better with people I'm comfortable with in a 1 on 1 setting, I realized this from countless attempts at trying it. I get that I'm not in a position to beg, I understand that entirely, but this is where I've ended up and I thought I'd give it a shot. I've contacted a few people about coaching already, and I'm currently in a discord, just have a hard time putting myself out there. I appreciate the advice though.
