00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:03.720
So if you're new to the channel, you may
have heard of a series I used to make

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:09.120
called ROBLOX Watch and what ROBLOX Watch is - or what it was - was my attempt

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:14.250
at a satirical news themed series where
I would take real incidents that happen

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.920
with Roblox and I would add elements of fiction to them

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:18.380
to make them funny.

00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:21.869
So like an example
would be back when tickets were removed

00:00:21.869 --> 00:00:25.740
I had the segments that described the
facts of what was going on and then I

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:30.750
totally made up this speech that David
made at a fake press conference where he

00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:35.399
was explaining how to be evil and how he
totally fooled his stupid customers

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.510
"Roblox CEO David bouzouki told media
sources 'it'd be best if the users were

00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:42.780
told something simple like the change
was made to improve the look of the site.

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:46.200
We did that back when we removed sub
forums a few years ago and the Board of

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.590
Directors was ####### themselves laughing at
how no one questioned it'" but then I

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:54.059
would go on to actually criticize his
decision and I did this with a lot of

00:00:54.059 --> 00:00:57.360
things. I would explain what was
happening, make a joke about it, and then

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:03.840
I would argue why it's wrong. So one
person in particular who I know really

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.510
didn't like me doing this is Bob Pieron
who you may know as Nobledragon. So Bob

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:14.159
works at Roblox as the head of
moderation, and a lot of my jokes and a lot

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.020
of my criticism was directed at
moderation. So Bob and his team of mods

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:24.240
got together and started banning me, and
they banned every single account that I

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:27.680
created just because it was mine, and at
first I was really heartbroken

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.220
especially after my first account navy898 was deleted, but after the fourth

00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:35.840
or fifth deletion I stopped caring.
"On tonight's broadcast,

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.280
kaizomario1234. a well-known and
well-respected RTer, was deleted. Why?

00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:44.070
Hey now. It's Roblox, remember? Do we ever
really know why innocent people get

00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:47.130
deleted other than because some prick
sits in a chair all day wishing he had

00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:50.520
more hot pockets to shove into his face
while he ruins people's fun on a forum

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:54.180
for her children's building game?" and in the
final episode of the first season of

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:59.820
ROBLOX Watch I decided that I would give
Bob his own segment. So a friend of mine

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:04.530
who's a furry was looking through the
list of people that Bob followed on his

00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:09.569
Roblox Twitter account, and he recognized
this furry artist in that list and this

00:02:09.569 --> 00:02:13.580
wasn't like some low-level hand-holding
stuff this was like

00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:16.160
[monkeys screaming]

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.200
so in the segment that I made for Bob I
explained the whole thing, made some

00:02:21.209 --> 00:02:25.830
jokes about it, and then I gave a
monologue as to why it's probably not a

00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:31.500
good idea for the head of moderation at
Roblox to be following a

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:36.930
not-safe-for-work account on his Roblox
affiliated Twitter account. This was

00:02:36.930 --> 00:02:41.130
really the nail in the coffin for my
alias, and from this point onward doing

00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:44.730
so much is mentioning my name on the
site, whether it was on the forums

00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:48.810
in-game, or even like in your bio, would
get you permanently banned, and there's a

00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:54.560
lot of accounts in Roblox Hell for
saying "Ben Simon" on the forums.

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.220
So this segment came out in May of 2016. It
was over three years ago, and regardless

00:03:01.230 --> 00:03:07.590
I'm still being banned by Bob to this
day. So a month ago I met him in-game on

00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:12.209
an account that lasted almost two years
without being banned. It was Hostile

00:03:12.209 --> 00:03:15.959
Skies, I was in game with him and I was
about to win. He was like the last person

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:20.190
left and he was on the enemy team. So I
typed in chat something along the lines

00:03:20.190 --> 00:03:25.500
of "hey noble dragon if I let you win
will you unban navy898" or something

00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:31.470
like that, and he didn't reply so I shot
him down and he left the game, and a week

00:03:31.470 --> 00:03:36.450
later I was deleted on that
long-standing account. Not just me though.

00:03:36.450 --> 00:03:41.040
I was living with my girlfriend at the
time and we shared an IP and the way

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.130
that Nobledragon banned me is he looked
at the IP that I was using that account

00:03:47.130 --> 00:03:51.930
on and he found all the accounts that
used that IP and they - he banned all of

00:03:51.930 --> 00:03:56.220
those too, so my girlfriend was caught in
the collateral of that even though she's

00:03:56.220 --> 00:04:01.260
never broken any rules she hardly even
uses in-game chat and the only the only

00:04:01.260 --> 00:04:05.280
thing she did wrong was be affiliated
with me. All of her progress in all of

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.410
her games wiped because we shared the
same IP. So I think that was pretty dumb

00:04:10.410 --> 00:04:14.760
I mean I'm used to getting banned over
and over again this was her first ban

00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:19.289
this was her first moderation on that
account so she had never been banned

00:04:19.289 --> 00:04:23.340
before and she got deleted. So she was
pretty frustrated about it but you know

00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:26.520
I did what I always do. I picked myself
back up and

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:29.879
new account and I started playing games
again in making videos. So yeah that's

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:31.800
why I'm always getting banned on Roblox

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.220
