Instead of sending hashtags. Why not make a system where you just block the words you don't want to send. So for example "Hello Bob" You don't want the word Bob. So the game chat only shows this "Hello" A second example "I like chocolate because they are yummy but I don't like fruit because they taste horrible" But some of the words get blocked because they might be bad so the game chat message be this "I like chocolate because they are yummy but I don't like fruit because they taste" What do you guys think?

##### I agree with you with that. But ROBLOX won't do that because they will have to make a new chat script because lets face it this one is dead. So they would have to put this site down for maintenance for couple days, they will lose money so they wont do that.

@Non If they do it correctly then it should only take out words which are rude or trying to be used in a harsh way.

this won't work in every game, because the ability to make your own chat system look at me in the mirror, yipee!

@Non Then roblox has to remove that move for making your own chat, they have to use roblox chat filter.

Or how about they replace it with a word with a similar meaning that is not harmful? I.e. if someone that was 13- said "horrible" it would appear as "bad". wannabe British, proud American ☭Communist Conservative and Proud☭

This feels forced. Not only would it suck for the kiddie roleplayers (in which soccer mom will "threaten to sue") but ROBLOX literally just fumbled around for a bit, gave up and slapped a pathetic excuse for a filter on there without making sure it didn't censor everything. To be honest they'll probably fix it soon.
