The exploit reportedly works by taking over the user’s chat and triggering strings of inappropriate phrases. Roblox’s chat moderation tools automatically flag these phrases, which leads innocent players to then face account bans.

Roblox streamer KreekCraft addressed the issue in a video titled “My Roblox Account Was Banned.” The video includes footage of streamer clarkt1000falling victim to the exploit and becoming audibly upset upon learning of the ban. Although Crossroads [A.2] is no longer accessible on the platform, KreekCraft claims to know of at least four other games that appear to be using the same functionality to trigger bans.

KreekCraft then confirms that when he used an alternative account to try to access a game that leveraged the exploit, which one of his viewers provided for testing purposes, he found himself facing an account ban.
