This gives new meaning to the phrase "play stupid games win stupid prizes". 130 MILLION badges were "collected" by this player!
The number chosen for the badge limit is quite odd, you'd think it would be something like 2,147,483,647.
This is apparently what "prioritized" looks like btw
Some would call this a rugpull
Dominus eyes were first seen in 2011 on Dominus Messor. The best I could do was the 2D eyes with a fake "glow", 3D eyes looked terrible.
Here are new emissive versions. These are placed in a general spot, recommend using accessory adjustment.

"I got in the program alongside people who submitted stolen items from the toolbox" is the biggest self own I've seen in a long time
I said I agree with you. You should be happy. The circumstances are just funny.
"Roblox gave me special treatment before, and now I'm mad that they don't anymore"
Talk about a lack of self awareness.
I actually agree, Roblox's pilot programs are inherently flawed due to internal company politics which generally result in undeserving people gaining access to things they have no business having access to. Most of the time, accepted creators can't actually do the work they were accepted to do and end up paying others for the work.
The irony of a creator who was hand picked into the UGC program now complaining they aren't being hand picked anymore is palpable.
Exhibit #11269 of why you should not use your main account for uploading ANY content, idk why people are still doing this and then acting surprised when something bad happens.
"well ackshually it was because road blocks is using erm AI MODERATION and they need to fix it"
Roblox is forced to turn to AI moderation due to unheard of levels of incompetency of their outsourced moderation and support (shocker, I know), and it's not really feasible to replace these outsourced people with higher intelligence hires - this is also really expensive. We are stuck with the AI whether we like it or not, but consider that said AI is in its infancy and it will eventually improve.
That said... stop uploading content on your main account. It's really that simple.
The funny part about this "6/7 day hack" is the insane speed of Roblox employees restoring the stolen items. Took less than a day.
Best I've got from support when asked if they could recover my stolen items was threats, that if I kept emailing they would terminate my account.
Replying to @Rolimons
The items have been restored to Shedletsky's alt account SonOfSevenless.
His avatar is still as the compromiser left it however.
Please do not go down this matrix-looking path. Not only do people not want this, this is NOT GOOD for a kid's brain to be exposed to, no doubt about that.
If anyone wants to engage with this AI generated world nonsense, put an age requirement on it. Seriously.
Morpheus AI is joining Roblox. This acquisition will dramatically cut the time and cost of building high-fidelity, interactive worlds and unlock new possibilities for creators everywhere.

Today is the start of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Most men don't take their mental health that serious among the onslaught of anti-male propaganda and vilification, but this is our month.
Take your mental health seriously, because societies collapse when men collapse.
How does an equation showing devs will earn more overall due to a large portion of the robux economy not being taxed at an additional 10% equal me being a narcissist?
You definitely did not read the entire post. Let's see if you read this one.
I didn't mention the other main problem with Pls Donate: BOTS. You claim the average person has no way to get free robux now. They never really did.
Someone could AFK in the game for weeks on end and never be donated anything, especially if their earned robux is at zero or they are a noob account. It is extremely difficult for the average player to join the game and have people donate to them. Additionally, the more earned robux you have, the easier it is to get donations. This does not apply to the average player and only benefits those who already have money.
What you are left with is thousands of people, and even more bot accounts, sitting in the game doing nothing. BOTS DO NOT DONATE, and certainly they do not donate to other bots. The massive bot presence puts a ton of stress on Roblox servers for no reason.
I don't know what percentage of Pls Donate players are either an actual bot or someone who is AFKing with an autoclicker. For argument's sake, let's say half of the active players are doing this. Roblox is running a tight operation, there was no future where they do not purge 15,000-20,000 active bots - and that's just in Pls Donate, there are many other donation games.

"No developer will disagree with me on this. If they do, they are larping."
You sound very narcissistic (and to be fair, you ARE a narcissist), but your point is genuinely idiotic, when a dev gets paid for their work, its NEVER through the game pls donate
-
Let me explain to you why the Roblox update of the changes to gamepasses, and the destruction of donation games, is objectively GOOD.
No developer will disagree with me on this. If they do, they are larping.
The Roblox economy is composed of various different things. A typical pathway for robux is, robux is purchased from Roblox, spent on a gamepass, developer product, or UGC item, and the developer of the content cashes the robux out of the economy via devex.
The path of robux can take also take a very different path. Remember, most robux transactions take at least 30% as tax for the whole transaction - a significant amount.
Consider the following path:
Robux is purchased from Roblox > robux spent on a gamepass > gamepass owner spends on a limited > ex-limited owner includes robux in a trade > receiver of trade spends robux on a UGC item > UGC creator pays another creator via t-shirt for a retexture commission > retexturer uses Devex and removes the robux from the economy.
Every single one of these events includes a tax of at least 30%, with UGC sales taking 70% as tax. Let's say you spend 50 dollars on 5000 robux from Roblox. By the end of the above path, the 5000 robux is now only 360 robux, the equivalent of $1.37 USD via Devex. The original purchase of 50 dollars has lost 97.26% of its initially traded in value.
Now, as for why no dev would disagree with this update. Donation games are a large enough part of the economy that Pls Donate made significant revenue, easily much more than 8 figures. Remember, ALL robux that passes through Pls Donate is taxed at a whopping 40% rate due to Pls Donate's 10% tax cut. A large portion of robux that could have eventually landed in the pockets of other developers was taxed at 10% extra, which landed in Hazem's pocket.
This would mean you, as a developer, would be taking a significant percentage of your income and running it through an involuntary additional tax which is paid to another "developer" who really is just running a skimming machine. The amount of funds Hazem cashes out in a year would otherwise be dispersed among all developers, if people had a good way to donate robux and Hazem wasn't taking a skim.
People are ultimately developers on Roblox because they want to get paid to develop their own content. That is the trade. Content for money.
No developer would willingly give a percentage of their income to another "developer" who doesn't actually contribute to the Roblox ecosystem in terms of making real games or other UGC content, and you get absolutely nothing in return for the loss of income.
The death of donation games simply equals additional income for literally ALL other developers making REAL CONTENT.
I'm not sure why so many people have commented this "you have no right to talk" crap.
You will find that I in fact DO have the right to criticize anyone and anything I want. No amount of room-temperature IQ fools telling me otherwise will stop me.
Really, all I do is point out the obvious truth in a not-so-sugarcoated way.
Hazem doesn't give a fuck about anything except his money. If he DID care about something else, such as the "community" surrounding Pls Donate that everyone BUT Hazem has told me is so important, he would have said something along the lines of "I'm disappointed in how this will affect the Pls Donate community, I'm sorry you all have to deal with this".
Instead, he says "this platform fucking sucks".
The entitlement and ungratefulness radiates off that statement like a nuclear fucking warhead. No amount of "ERM ackshually you make FAKE LIMITEDS" has or will ever silence me, but I'm glad people still aggresively advertise that for me. Perhaps I should post more of them.
As many people pointed out, nobody ever calls me a liar.
Replying to @Maxxell
Dawg.. With all due respect, you have no right to criticize anyone. You’re copying other people’s UGC’s which hurts so many other talented people’s chances to grow off the platform, and that’s why the Roblox marketplace sucks.
This ain’t it.
Imagine this being your legacy: after earning millions of dollars being a glorified middleman, you crash out and throw Roblox under the bus "this platform fucking sucks" all because you aren't getting your 10% transaction skim anymore, vilifying the same platform that handed you all your money and success in the first place.
Let Hazem's story be a warning for all developers who think the gravy train will never end. The message from Roblox to him (and all developers) is quite clear to me:
Contribute to the platform, or fuck off.
