We’ve begun flagging games where user input text is not filtered. These games will be suspended until these issues can be fixed. But please note, there will be no permanent moderation action taken on your profile or your game based on this. Why don't you filter text at the core unseen level? Seems like it would be a seamless upgrade instead of requiring devs (some who don't even script) to do it at their level, not to mention how many places Devs will have to edit to achieve these standards across the board, while remembering to add another line of erroneous code to some script somewhere when creating new games. Umbrellas don't protect people from rain from the ground, it works from the top down. You're further complicating an already complicated process. C'mon Roblox. Your devs range from age 5 to age 99. Get it together! Should be automatic, built in... - Jet -

This system shouldn't be implemented in the first place.

What are those of us who don't know how to script, like me, supposed to do about this! YOU'RE MODS ARE BEING PAID TO DO A JOB, ROBLOX! DO YOUR JOB! FILTER THE CHAT INSTEAD OF MAKING PEOPLE WHO ARN'T EVEN PAID DO IT FOR YOU! LAZY SCAVENGERS!

I too agree that this filtering system shouldn't be implemented as well. The ability to communicate with others is what drives the community. The current filters in place make it extremely difficult to communicate simple things to others and it's annoying. What good does micromanaging a conversation down to the letter do? None.

You can not make a filter system like this optimized, the current system has loads of flaws for example sentenced being removed because it noticed a word that was not even bad. When I speak with my developer friend about something that has to do with the game I foten have to use different words than what it is actually called because some child somewhere in the world can missunderstand it for a bad word. If you do not script, the filtering should not be a problem tho. The normal chat is automatically filtered. So unless you created your own coded feature in the game or implemented something that does not use filtering you should be fine. And for the rest of us it will just be a pain the the *implement English word that probably would filter my whole ####### text.

Example sentence: ######### are not a problem in Roblox. Word: peed o fil es Also, words being put after each other is filtered, example is if you put yourself behind kill.. You can easily bypass this by putting it "Kill is a cool verb, maybe you could do it to yourself". There will always be ways to bypass the system, and the more it censure the more flaws there will be. Most words being censured are normal words that are being used in normal sentences.
