This is the general enforcement statement; later sections add specific cases, such as self-harm threats and off-platform egregious behavior.

Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception
Safety rule: no creating, engaging with or supporting content or behavior that makes others feel unsafe
The Safety section opens with a general prohibition. Users may not create content related to, engage with, or express support for exploitation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, 'or any other behavior or content that makes others feel unsafe or unwelcome'. The rule reaches three kinds of involvement: creating related content, engaging with it, and expressing support for it. The specific prohibitions that follow (child exploitation, terrorism and violent extremism, harassment and discrimination, suicide and self-injury, off-platform behavior) are listed as particular cases of this general rule, and the catch-all means the list is not exhaustive.

It may also proactively delete or archive assets if it suspects the content may be infringing. The first is a commitment triggered by a valid request; the second is a discretionary power triggered by suspicion, without a request. Three linked pages are referenced but not supplied: the Roblox name and logo usage guidelines, how to file takedown requests (Rights Manager), and IP reporting (DMCA guidelines).

Paid random items defined: Robux purchases with developer-set random odds, including capsules, enhancers and bundles
Paid random items are purchases made directly with Robux, or indirectly through in-game currencies acquired with Robux, that give the buyer a random outcome with odds defined by the developer. Examples are capsule-type items yielding one of several random outcomes; enhancement-type items applying a random effect to an existing item; combination-type items consumed or exchanged with other items to access random outcomes; and probability-modifier items that change the odds. Bundling a random item into a single paid pack or transaction makes the entire bundle a paid random item. More detail on item types is in the Creator Hub, which is not supplied.

Enhancement Type Items that apply a random effect to an existing item
Combination Type Items that can be consumed or exchanged in combination with other items to access random outcomes
Probability Modifier Items that change the odds of random outcomes
