Issue and manage warnings

Warnings create a community-specific moderation record for a Roblox member. Each warning has a severity and description and can be reviewed later by authorised staff.

Issue a warningCopy link to Issue a warning

Use a member profile or /warnings create:

1. Verify the target Roblox identity.
2. Choose Low, Medium, or High according to your published policy.
3. Write a factual description. Explain the behaviour and relevant context without including secrets or unnecessary personal data.
4. Review the target and submit.
5. Confirm the warning appears in the member’s warning history and audit log.

The default requirement to warn a member is Officer. Your community owner can set a different minimum level.

Review, edit, or deleteCopy link to Review, edit, or delete

Use /warnings view or the dashboard profile to inspect history. /warnings edit can correct a warning’s severity or description, and /warnings delete removes the selected warning where the user has permission.

Editing is better than deleting when the underlying moderation event still occurred. If community policy requires deletion, record the reason elsewhere in the approved process and confirm the deletion audit entry.

API v2 also supports listing, issuing, fetching, updating, and deleting warnings. Read-only integrations need warnings.read; writes need warnings.write. API requests still pass plan, community, and feature checks.

A good description is specific and neutral, for example: Left an assigned event post without notifying the host. Avoid insults, speculation, account credentials, private conversations unrelated to the incident, or details that staff do not need.

Permission and availability messagesCopy link to Permission and availability messages

• Warning - Insufficient Permission means your community level is below the configured requirement.
• This command is not available on trial! means the trial blocks the moderation command.
• A tier or inactive-subscription message means the community does not currently have access.
• An account or member lookup warning means the target should be verified before trying again.

Warnings are not a substitute for suspensions or blacklists. Use a suspension for a time-limited restriction and a blacklist for an explicit user or Roblox-group exclusion.
