Accounts, settings and controls vary by region; chat may be disabled; no video chat anywhere
Roblox states up front that accounts, settings and controls vary by region. Chat and voice chat may be disabled in a user's region. Video chat is not available in any region. This notice qualifies every later rule that mentions chat or voice: a feature a rule addresses may not exist for a given user.

Violations: action against content and creator accounts; authorities involved when offline safety is at risk
If Roblox finds users or content breaking these rules, it says it will take action against that content and against the accounts of those who created it. The kind of action (removal, warning, suspension, ban) is not specified here. Where someone's safety is at risk offline, Roblox says it will work closely with the relevant authorities. This is the general enforcement statement; later sections add specific cases, such as self-harm threats and off-platform egregious behavior.

Qualifications & exceptions

Users asked to report with the Report Abuse tool; Terms of Use hold the formal legal terms
Roblox acknowledges that enforcement is imperfect and asks users who see something that might violate the rules, or that makes them feel unsafe, to use the 'Report Abuse' tool. The 'more formal legal side' is in the Terms of Use, which are referenced but not supplied; the Community Standards do not themselves state the legal terms.
Supporting quotations
If you ever see something that you think might violate these rules or otherwise makes you feel unsafe, please use our 'Report Abuse' tool to let us know.
If you want to dive into the more formal legal side of things, our Terms of Use are always there for you to read.
Qualifications & exceptions
Reporting is a request ('please use'), not an obligation on users.
Roblox describes its enforcement as best efforts where 'things slip through the cracks'.
Not stated here
The Terms of Use are linked but not supplied; how the Standards and the Terms interact is not analyzed here.

Off-platform behavior: Roblox may act against accounts and content on credible evidence of egregious conduct
If Roblox has credible evidence that a user committed egregious behavior outside the platform, it may take action against that user's account and content. Examples given are association with organized crime or terrorist or extremist organizations; harassment, bullying, discrimination or otherwise harming people outside of Roblox; and being charged or convicted of certain egregious crimes, engaging in certain illegal activities, or encouraging others to do so. The rule is discretionary ('may'), requires credible evidence, and its list is expressly non-exhaustive. Being charged, not only convicted, is enough to fall within the example.
