How to Report a Player's Profile

How to Report a Game or Experience
- ✓1. Go to the game's page on roblox.com or in the app

What Happens After You Report
Roblox reviews all reports but does not notify reporters of outcomes for privacy reasons. Serious violations (predatory behavior, sexual content) are typically actioned quickly. General rule violations may take longer. Reporting is always worth doing even if you don't hear back — it contributes to Roblox's moderation data.
Teach Your Child These Three Rules
- ✓Block first — you don't have to engage with anyone who makes you uncomfortable
- ✓Report second — tell Roblox so they can stop it happening to others
- ✓Tell a parent third — you won't get in trouble for reporting problems
