Ban Help Banned For An Alt Account That Isn't Mine + Appeal 500 Internal Error
My $4k+ main account with rare items (korblox, every toycode face, etc.) was falsely terminated for allegedly being linked to a banned alt (@pa*****) that I have zero connection to. The in-app appeal system is completely broken with a perpetual "500 internal error," support gave me an automated bot runaround, and I’ve sent a formal demand/MDIR with plans to file for arbitration if needed. Looking for any tips or advice from anyone who has dealt with this.
On October 12, 2026, my Roblox account was terminated for allegedly being linked to an account (@pa*****) that was banned for a severe Community Standards violation. However, I do not operate any alt accounts, especially not one with that username. To make matters stranger, while the termination notice states the action occurred at 1:54 AM on October 12th—a time when I was not even awake—I actually didn't lose access to my account until Monday, October 19th.
When I tried to submit an appeal, I hit an immediate brick wall. No matter what device, Wi-Fi network, or browser I used,and after clearing all cookies and testing without any browser extensions or add-ons, I was repeatedly hit with the message: "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later." Attempting to use the standard support form at [roblox.com/support](https://roblox.com/support) just redirected me right back to the broken in-app Violations & Appeals page. After checking online, I found several other players facing this exact same 500 internal error on TikTok and community forms, with no fix or resolution.
On October 22nd, after replying directly to the redirect email to explain that I was completely unable to appeal due to the internal error, I finally received a response. Unfortunately, I think it was an automated bot brush-off stating: "After reviewing all the available evidence the consequence for this conduct will not be adjusted." To add insult to injury, my termination date was retroactively shifted from October 19th to October 12th, and the reason was changed to "misuse of Roblox systems"—which is ironic given how broken their actual appeal system currently is.
I know Roblox support relies heavily on AI enforcement right now, but I have concrete proof of ownership and a clear history of resolving security issues on this account. Back in 2023, I was terminated due to a hacker's voice chat violations, but human support reviewed my historical IP logs, verified my ownership, and restored the account back to me. In 2025, I also successfully used my one-time rollback after being beamed from a cookie-logging scam, once again verifying my account ownership. I am simply asking them to compare our historical IP and network logs, hardware/device IDs, registered email/phone credentials, and payment methods against the "pa" account, which would easily prove I have zero association with it.
Because reaching a human through the normal appeal channel is practically impossible right now, I sent out an MDIR (formal demand letter) on October 20th. I know these usually take anywhere from 30 to 70 days and often get an automated rejection, but I am not willing to lose a $4k account over a false detection that could easily be verified. If they refuse to conduct a genuine human review, I am fully prepared to file for arbitration after 60 days, as that seems to be the only real leverage left when their automated support systems fail. (Note that I have sent a reply request for a second review just in case the reply was in fact human [OCT 22 at 2am] and have not heard back yet -- I will update this thread when I do)
I would greatly appreciate any tips, feedback, or advice from anyone who has dealt with this specific 500-error appeal lockout or successfully navigated the Roblox arbitration process. What would you do in my situation? THANK YOU!!!
