Why a script was taken down or hidden, and how to appeal

Held, hidden and taken down

Open your listing while signed in. A banner at the top names the state. Each one means something different for players.

Held for review

Every script runs in Scriptsight before it is public, and some new scripts are checked for longer. A held script isn't in trouble. Most are public within a day, and an email goes to your account's address when yours is.

• A held new script is visible only to you. Its link shows visitors that it is being reviewed.
• A held new version doesn't replace the live one. Players keep getting the version before it.
• A held script can't be deleted until the review is done.

Uploading the script again doesn't make it faster. The new upload is held too.

Hidden from browse

A hidden script keeps its page, but it is left out of search, game pages and Top, and its loadstring stops working. These are the reasons and what fixes each.

1. Needs a key

   The script stopped at its key screen when Scriptsight ran it, so nothing past the screen could be checked. Give a permanent key on the edit page. The script runs again, and it is shown again once it gets past the key screen. Scripts published before 14 November 2026 get one notice by email and 14 days before they are hidden.

2. A copy of your own script

   One listing shows for each script, for each game. If you have the same script up twice for one game, the copy with the most runs is the one shown. Delete the others, or leave them hidden.

3. Sends the player's IP address or Robux balance to a webhook

   A script that posts those to a Discord webhook is hidden. Remove the request and upload a new version.

4. Reports, with code that can't be read

   When players report a script as harmful and Scriptsight can't read its code, the script is hidden. A new version with readable code that is reviewed as safe brings it back.

Taken down

A taken-down listing shows a banner that names the rule it broke and says only you can see it. An email with the same rule goes to your account's address.

The rules a listing can be taken down for:

• Malware and account theft: a script that takes the player's items, login or account.
• Scams and phishing: a link to a fake Roblox site.
• Someone else's script uploaded as your own.
• Spam: a listing with no script in it.
• Harassment, threats and hate.
• Sexual content.

A script caught stealing or sending players to a fake Roblox site also gets its uploader banned. Loading a stealer through a second script doesn't change that: a script that loads a taken-down listing is taken down with it.

How to appeal

Checks make mistakes. If your script was taken down or hidden and you think that is wrong, email support@roscripts.io. A person reads it.

1. Write from your account's email

   That is how support knows the script is yours. You can also reply to the takedown email.

2. Give the listing's link

   The address of its page, roscripts.io/s/….

3. Say what the script does

   If it sends anything to a server, say what and why: a key check, a usage counter, a webhook for your own logs.

4. For a copied-script removal, show it is yours

   A link to where you published it first, such as a GitHub repository or a dated Discord post.

Readable source helps. If the script is obfuscated, attaching the code before it was packed lets support see what it does. A script put back keeps its page, its loadstring link, its views and its votes.

Copyright removals

A script removed after a copyright notice is different. Its page says it was removed following a legal notice, and support can't put it back on an appeal. It returns if the person who sent the notice withdraws it, or after a counter notice from you.

A counter notice is a legal document, and the copyright page lists what it has to include and where to send it. More than one notice about the same uploader in 180 days counts as a copyright strike, and strikes lead to an upload block and then to the account being closed.

Account bans

When an account is banned, every script it had live is taken down with it. If the ban is lifted, those scripts come back as they were. Scripts that were taken down for their own reasons stay down.

A shorter block also exists: an account can be stopped from publishing for a time while its existing scripts stay up. The upload page shows the reason. Both can be appealed at the same address.
