We should go back to under 13 accounts having only the chat GUI. Rather than blocking +13 users from saying common words. You can't even say the rank name "private" plural version. I tried today saying 'you' and it got tagged. This is getting ridiculous roblox, and now you want to enforce that no words get past your filtering by forcing all text-input to be checked by it?
Sure, you can excuse +13 accounts being censored with that under 13s can change their account age, which is why steps should be taken into where under 13s can not change age until they actually turn 13, obviously there's the issue where people lie their age the first time.
I do not know solution to that issue, but you should, for you are ruining the platform you created. By making it more usable by kids, you're actually making it completely impossible to use, I can not claim I've not used inappropriate language on roblox before, but when a huge majority of the censored messages I get are false positives, and I can't even flag it anyhow, so you(roblox) could indeed check that it indeed was a false positive and remove it from your filter.
Sure, it seems to 'understand' the context in which things are said, but it really does a bad job at it. And another thing, sure there are numbers which have a double/inappropriate meaning, but maybe you should bring back guardian accounts and force any accounts under 13 to connect to one, who then on could control what things are blocked for their child, e.g. "inappropriate numbers" "swear words" "every single word that you can imagine when said without context"
If you can't do anything about preventing users from communicating normally, you should remove the stickied post which says you're listening. A majority of the players probably dislike and get false positives from the filter, but instead you're looking to punish the whole playerbase, and not the people who break said rules.
Fix this issue roblox.
TLDR: Filters are bad, please fix or remove the "we are listening" stickied post. |
