Manage user and group blacklists

A blacklist is an explicit community moderation rule. Clan Labs supports two target types:

• User — a particular Roblox user ID.
• Group — a Roblox community ID; members of that community can be rejected by guarded workflows.

The implementation stores an entry until authorised staff remove it. The current Clan Labs blacklist model does not expose a temporary expiry field, so do not describe an entry as automatically expiring.

Create an entryCopy link to Create an entry

Use /blacklist create or the corresponding dashboard workflow:

1. Choose User or Group.
2. Find and verify the Roblox target. Use its numeric ID to avoid ambiguity.
3. Add a clear reason or description.
4. Submit the entry and confirm it appears with /blacklist view or in Clan Labs.
5. Review the audit record.

The default requirement for blacklist actions is HICOM. Community owners can configure a different minimum.

Where Roblox can resolve the target, Clan Labs uses its canonical Roblox name. The public API also accepts a fallback display name so the operation can be recorded during a temporary Roblox lookup problem; the numeric ID remains authoritative.

How enforcement appearsCopy link to How enforcement appears

Supported commands check both direct user entries and membership in blacklisted Roblox communities. A guarded action can report that the user is blacklisted from this community or belongs to a blacklisted community. This can block progression, pending-join review, medals, qualifications, and similar member operations.

Update or remove an entryCopy link to Update or remove an entry

The dashboard and /blacklist delete can remove an entry when authorised. API v2 supports listing, fetching, creating, updating the description, and deleting entries with blacklists.read or blacklists.write.

Before deleting, confirm the target type and ID. A user ID and group ID can have the same number but are different blacklist records.

Moderation practiceCopy link to Moderation practice

• Use a factual reason and follow your community’s appeal policy.
• Do not include credentials, unrelated personal data, or private staff speculation.
• Restrict blacklist writes more tightly than reads.
• Review group-wide exclusions carefully; they can affect many people.
• Remove an entry when the approved restriction ends; it does not expire by itself.

For a time-limited rank restriction, use Suspensions. For a lower-severity record, use Warnings.
