The Incident
During July 16th of 2022, a Roblox user by the name of ClientERR0R made a Roblox game called CrossWoods [A.2], with the help of a few of his friends as well. The game went unnoticed until the next day, where a male Twitch streamer and Roblox user named clarkt1000 was requested to play the game by one of his viewers. Upon joining the game, everything seemed normal until he got kicked out of the game. At first, he figured that it was just a prank, until he left the game, where he was greeted with an account termination note.

Overall

 * 1) The incident caused around 10,000 Roblox accounts to be terminated.

Outside of the Game

The Game

 * 1) If a player joined the game, they would have had a very high chance of being banned permanently, due to the game tricking the moderation system into thinking that the player said inappropriate things that they never said. Some players did get lucky however and only got a 1-7 day ban.

Redeeming Qualities
