I don't want people to be saying the "Too long, didn't read," B.S. if you have time to type, you have time to read.
Wanna know the real reason why roblox has a broken filter?
It's all your fault.
The same people who are asking for a better chat filtering program are the people who caused this in the first place. In fact, I doubt that They will ever change the filter back because people like you exist.
Let's go waaay back to the beginning.
There was a jolly little developer named Alexneutron. He decided to make a game that you guys know and love, Meepcity. Things were going great until he added the flawed feature, known as "Parties." He made the mistake of letting users name the parties. You users abused that, and not only did you Ruin Meepcity's Reputation, you also ruined Roblox's Reputation.
The news outlets saw you users on Meepcity and decided to make article after article after video on Roblox, calling it out to be a game where child Predators roam around and lure children to parties, which is just not true. In reality, it was You, the players, who decided to act up and be the Immature pre-teens that you are.
So roblox as a company did the logical thing and limited what users can say, so they can prevent users giving roblox a bad name by acting up. It might not have been the best thing to do, but it was something.
Clearly, those people doing the atrocious acts(OrDers) didn't like it, for obvious reasons, like they can't cat call people anymore, but it also affected the rest of the community as well. people can't say normal VOWELS in sentences without tripping the filter, and making this very sen##### so#nd L#k# Thi# ##############
In conclusion, the reason why you have this filter is Because of the community who cannot handle themselves.
I apologize to the Roblox devs, staff and game creators. it is not your fault that you did this, it is your community that did this to you.
a Possible solution is for 13- to have a chat menu interface, but it is very diverse, and there is a search bar for words you would want to say, but this community likes "Free speech," and really likes bypassing this filter, which is easy to do. I will not show examples of which bypasses to filter, because the last time I did that, I got banned for 7 days from your bot.

Pretty Much - The filter actually is more strict for those who trigger the filter more.

Back in January some attention seeking 24/25-year-old soccer mom from Scotland started it all by complaining to the news about her 6 year old child being "solicited by a predator" which was most likely a troll and she blamed ROBLOX for it. The scapegoating then spread like wildfire.

correct. that took you this long to figure out? and also, this doesn't belong in the S&I category.

I reckon if your account is a certain age, say 15, the censoring system should be less harsh for you, If your account is over 13 it shows a 13+ icon next to your username and in-game so parents can spot their children lying about their age to bypass the censoring system. |

it does belong here. this is a message to all S&L users and a suggestion to roblox at the bottom.

A game wouldn't make the entire roblox have a filter. It was cause people talked inappropriately all the time before a filter. People keep finding ways to 'bypass' words and thats what makes a filter grow and grow and grow. not meepcity...

Roblox has a bad chat filtering because he is a dumbo and he doesn't know how to fix it. |
