Roblox has long marketed itself as a safe, creative space for children and teens to play, build, and connect. But behind the colorful avatars and virtual worlds lies a troubling reality: the platform’s moderation system is failing, and its leadership—particularly Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman—is not doing enough to protect its most vulnerable users.

As someone who has spent years on Roblox, I’ve witnessed firsthand how predators operate in plain sight. I’ve seen games where adults use innuendos and coded language to groom minors, often right under the noses of moderators. These aren’t obscure corners of the platform—they’re real, popular games with thousands of players. And yet, despite countless reports and community outcry, Roblox does nothing. The predators stay. The games stay. The danger stays.

Matt Kaufman, as the executive responsible for safety, should be leading the charge to fix this. Instead, he’s become a symbol of inaction. Under his watch, the moderation system has remained broken—unable to detect even the most obvious forms of inappropriate behavior. Worse, when creators like Schlep take matters into their own hands to expose these threats, Roblox responds not with gratitude, but with legal threats and bans. That’s not safety. That’s silencing.

The situation is even more dire than most realize. I’ve seen kids change—noticeably—after spending time in certain Roblox games. Parents are outraged, and rightfully so. Their children begin to show signs of being groomed, often without even realizing it. And it’s terrifying how easy it is. Just search “condo Roblox server” on platforms like Disboard and you’ll find dozens of Discord servers openly advertising inappropriate condo games, some even featuring adult content and roleplay. These servers are accessible, active, and shockingly well-organized. Roblox knows this. And yet, they’ve failed to shut it down.

All it takes is one click. One search. And you’ll see how broken Roblox’s moderation truly is. And now, they want to silence whistleblowers. But not today.

Even KreekCraft, one of Roblox’s biggest creators, has had enough. On August 14, 2025, he officially quit the Roblox Video Stars Program, citing the platform’s failure to protect kids and its decision to ban vigilante creators like Schlep. In his video titled “i’m done,” KreekCraft said, “We are in this situation because, for years now, Roblox has failed to listen to the community. They have failed to take us seriously. They say they’re listening. They’re not.”
