The Schlep Ban has created a rift within the Roblox community. Discover how content creators are reacting to the ban and its implications.
The Schelp Roblox ban controversy has sparked a lot of backlash in the community, with the latest post from YouTuber KreekCraft suggesting that popular content creators may be pulling out of the Roblox Star Program. For those who are out of the loop, Roblox recently banned Schlep from its platform for engaging in vigilantism.
Schlep, a YouTuber, and his team are known in the community for exposing child predators who abuse or attempt to abuse children on the platform. The platform is no stranger to child abuse allegations. Earlier this year, an Indiana family sued Roblox after their child was allegedly groomed on the platform. Since the ban, Schlep has talked about how his actions led to the arrest of six such abusive people.
Now that his accounts have been terminated, it seems big Roblox YouTubers may be planning to protest by exiting the Star Program. This is an official program that recognizes video creators who make content about Roblox on YouTube and other websites. Participants in the Star Program receive various benefits, making it a highly sought-after partnership. However, KreekCraft claims that this might change due to the Schlep fallout.
