i term'd pewdiepie on roblox lol

Context: It was in early Febuary, at the time I was the only person that was capable of hitting the frontpage through botting. PewDiePie was in the middle of a livestream with over 100k+ concurrent people watching. At the time Roblox was extremely strict about botting games, and nearly all botted games were auto-banned and the account terminated by Roblox. This could cause someone malicious to terminate someone via botting by putting their game on the front page. However, Roblox won’t ban people who are famous or on Roblox for many years. However PewDiePie recently made his account recently and had a bacon hair, so the roblox moderation team would be more likely to ban that account because of it’s newer age.

Motive: Mainly for fun, PewDiePie was not an avid Roblox player and would not lose a lot if his account was terminated. Due to his insane influence and everything he does being picked up by mainstream media, I knew that he would most definitely get unbanned. I got nothing against PewDiePie and have watched him daily for years, but I just wanted to show to the mainstream how unfairly Roblox throws around terminations.

Proof:

Game rapidly gains thousands of players within minutes, whereas earlier in the livestream he did not get nearly as many players. The avatars filling nearly all the servers are bot accounts, and the same bot account avatars that were used to bot numerous games on the front page a few months ago with rblxbots. In addition, after a short amount of time after the stream roblox deleted the exact game I was player botting.

The argument everyone went with was that his name had “PewDie” in it, which simply isn’t true because no accounts with “PewDiePie” or “PewDie” were ever terminated as you can tell if you search players by username. In addition, they never censored “PewDie” and it would be unjustified to immediately terminate someone for a word that’s not censored or a bypassed swear.

Furthermore, if it was because of his username as Roblox themselves claimed. They wouldn’t have terminated the game and just the account.

Aftermath:

I originally made a video recording myself doing that and spread it around, however I realized that it would bring a lot of negative attention to me and my botting site (and roblox might try and take it down). So I later unlisted the video and kept things lowkey. Mainstream media including the fkn BBC made articles on it, and it was even featured in a PewDiePie video. Was crazy the impact that this caused.
