Takedown

When the game got popular in late April 2017, Roblox took the game down for review. One of the causes of this was the "Custom sides" feature the game used to have, where users could create their own choices for a set price (in-game money, of course). This feature has been abused where users can input swear words, or bypass the Roblox chat filter, that caused the game to get taken down.

When SirMing, the head developer of Pick A Side, found that his game was taken down, Roblox never gave a reason for this, which he stated in this tweet;

"Just found Pick A Side has been suspended pending investigation. Havent given me a reason though..."

3 days later, the game was reopened for a couple of hours, then closed again. Roblox this time, however, gave a reason for this takedown, and Ming tweeted the following;

"Pick A Side closed again, this time they provided me with an explanation. They believed some questions were inappropriate ... Which is fair. But they haven't told me if this includes the custom questions that players submit. If so, I have to remove it ... problem is, if Roblox doesn't let me keep the "submit your own question" feature in Pick A Side, it also limits my future game concepts."

A week later, the game we re-opened, and with the custom choices feature removed, replaced with a "Suggest sides" feature. Since then, Roblox no longer has a problem with this game.
