ROBLOX have been incredibly unclear on how their safechat system works. First it was hashtags everywhere, then for a while it was some sort of thing where it said "{{username:word}}" and now you have gone back to hashtags everywhere. If you are not willing to make a safechat that works, then at least tell us what algorithm determines what blocks words. icky icky icky

Poorly phrased: I should say, "tell us how the safechat algorithm works so that we can know what it will block." icky icky icky

Well, it obviously searches for anything that may reference cursing, threats and other negative talk. I wanted a friend of mine to reset in a game. I said: ##### ########## It came out as hashtags. Whenever you type, just try to re-read what you're typing. Check for any un-intentional threats or mean sayings. It should be fairly easy to get around the hashtags. Also, don't expect for a list of blacklisted words to be added. It could teach a lot of younger audiences out there some new offensive vocabulary...

Reset Yourself. Replace "Reset" with "Kill". That was blacklisted ._.

This is the problem, Exeplex- it blacklists odd words that aren't bad at all, usually words it doesn't recognise. It is flawed and we don't know what's going to be censored, as you kindly (unintentionally) demonstrated! <3 icky icky icky
