Millions of people love the viral game known as ROBLOX. It's a game for all ages to enjoy, young or old. This is the type of game that lets your imagination run free...or that's what they say, anyways. I've played ROBLOX for 5 years and I've enjoyed the game for the most part. But the main problem that I have is the broken chat filtering that it contains. You can say the simplest of words, "1", "Suck", etc. Somehow, these simple words that either contain a little bit of profanity if used in that way, or no profanity at all, get censored completely.
This problem has not only made my experience less fun, but it has done the same to all of my friends and thousands of people. Don't get me wrong, ROBLOX is a kids game, and I appreciate the effort they are putting in to try to protect children from harsh topics and profanity. The problem is, they are doing it in the worse way possible. There are other ways to fix this problem rather than censoring everything with hashtags. If they were to fix this problem, it would make everyone's experience much better.
This problem can be fixed by adding an age rating system to ROBLOX's games. What I mean by this, is to add certain restrictions to each game that can add more censoring or take it out completely. One example would be a family simulator game (like the Sims series), that must be family friendly. This would be rated E for everyone, or maybe a higher rating if it has mature content. Another example would be a Mortal Kombat-like game, with a rating of M for mature.
If they were to implement this into ROBLOX's games, it would finally be able to "Power Imagination".
(Also, recently found out that ROBLOX has even shut down games due to them not having chat filter)
