I've been playing ROBLOX for a few years now (as a guest, and yes, I know thats what they all say), I've noticed that words such as g@_y or r#7@rd are filtered?

Why?

I'm sure they would be used as insults, but they really shouldn't.

Even though most of us, including myself aren't, many ROBLOX users are one or both of these, whats wrong with it?

In fact, even if you don't use these words, and say something like "I like men", you will be banned.

My suggestion here is, unfilter these, there is nothing wrong with it.

But what really russles my jimmies, is the fact that you unfilter the A-word, one of the two B-words, and the D-word, yet you still say it is a PG site.

If you support, good, if you don't, please explain why.

They don't want kids learning these words, dude.
You don't wanna hear a 5 year old suddenly call someone g@y or r3t@rd.

1. You completely ignored the fact that they unfilter actual swear words.
2. If they wouldn't like insults all the time, they would filter a lot more.
3. There is nothing wrong with those words, read the thread again.

>"there are only 2? i know of 5 and thats in the english language alone..."
Wow...

They filter actual swear words.
They also filter swear words that kids were clever enough to replace certain letters with numbers/different characters. They even filtered H a r r y P o t t e r and L o r d o f t h e R i n g s (idk why but it makes me mad >:O)

No, they didn't.
Please stop being so naive and try saying it, its unfiltered.

And they probably filtered that because it has top backwards in it.

I'm suggesting they filter it.

I'm unamused at you for thinking that they filtered it cause they had Pot backwards in it. That was the most stupid thing I've seen all day...

Omg seriously, i don't even care about the main topic anymore.
They filtered it because freaking Warner Bro. payed them to filter it.
Not because the freaking word top is backwards. -.-

I don't understand the filter either. Take a look at this:

Spongebob is a TV Show rated G, meaning little kids are able to watch it. Squidward, a character from the show, calls Spongebob [main character] a r3t@rd, and it is still considered G.

ROBLOX, an obvious PG website filters that word. Even though it is said on a G rated show. Makes no sense at all.

Make the filter reasonable.. at least.

Well, they don't go and call him a r3ta@rd directly. Squidward just calls him moron, stupid, and all that G rated stuff.

it isn't said on the show. I watched a lot of Spongebob.
Spongebob acts like a full-out r3t@rd and Squidward does call him stupid, etc. but not anything inappropriate, like r3t@rd.
I don't see where you're going here, still.

"I've been playing ROBLOX for a few years now (as a guest, and yes, I know thats what they all say), I've noticed that words such as g@_y or r#7@rd are filtered?"

Why?"

Because they're used inappropriately by our immature community and they're not "kid friendly". It's not rocket science.

"I'm sure they would be used as insults, but they really shouldn't."

Of course they shouldn't. But that's not stopping people, is it?

"Even though most of us, including myself aren't, many ROBLOX users are one or both of these, whats wrong with it?"

It's fine to be both of those things, but that's not the issue here. It's not the word that's the problem. It's how it's being used. Users on ROBLOX tend to take advantage of words that aren't filtered. Calling somebody G@Y, or R3T4rded, is almost always used as an insult and ROBLOX wants its game to remain as courteous and kid-friendly as possible.

"In fact, even if you don't use these words, and say something like "I like men", you will be banned."

I highly doubt this, as there's nothing wrong with saying "I like men" simply. Unless somebody else has reported it or you're stretching the truth, there's no way ROBLOX would ban somebody over that. I'm not believing it, sorry.

"My suggestion here is, unfilter these, there is nothing wrong with it."

Again, there's nothing wrong with the words. It's about how our users take advantage of the ability to use these words, and they use it negatively to attack people or insult people. Which ROBLOX doesn't want.

"But what really russles my jimmies, is the fact that you unfiltered the A-word, one of the two B-words, and the D-word, yet you still say it is a PG site."

I remember a long debate on filtering the A-word, and I believe a moderator commented that the A word also means donkey, so they didn't want to filter it. I completely disagreed with this, also. Now I'm not sure what those "two B words" and the "D word" are... so if you could explain that'd be great.

Now you're sort of contradicting yourself, on another note.You're mad that ROBLOX unfiltered these words (A word, D word??) and say that they're a PG site, yet you want two words that can be used negatively to be unfiltered at the same time.

A summary:

If these two words were unfiltered, it'd be erratic. Trust me, barely anybody will use G@Y or R3T4RD appropriately in ROBLOX.

You guys aren't getting this.
The admins, filter g@y or r3t4rd, two words that are used as insults, but make no sense as one, and if you consider it an insult, it doesn't make sense, and they don't filter a lot of other ones, and people use these words already, they just censor it with !@#$%^&*, which brings me to another problem, the admins, for some reason, decide to unfilter the A-word, which although it could mean donkey, I haven't seen anybody use it as donkey, donkey isn't even a popular topic, and I also saw a long debate about filtering these words, an admin actually supported, as for B4574RD and D4_MN, why would anybody, ever allow that on a PG site.

>"If these two words were unfiltered, it'd be erratic. Trust me, barely anybody will use G@Y or R3T4RD appropriately in ROBLOX."

They already do, they just use !@#$%^&* to censor it like I said, but it isn't just another insult, these have okay meanings, its like calling someone atheist as an insult.

Words aren't offensive; that's true. It's people's ideas of words that make them seem offensive to them. That is, the words have connotations that many of us cannot remove. It's sad really, that some words are treated unfairly.

But, I guess that's just one of those things that you have to sit back and say "oh well" to.

If you can't get banned for saying "I like men"

Then shouldn't they not ban me for saying "Hey! It's the smartest person in the world!"

"You guys aren't getting this."

I don't think you're getting it, actually.

"The admins, filter g@y or r3t4rd, two words that are used as insults, but make no sense as one, and if you consider it an insult, it doesn't make sense, and they don't filter a lot of other ones, and people use these words already, they just censor it with !@#$%^&*, which brings me to another problem, the admins, for some reason, decide to unfilter the A-word, which although it could mean donkey, I haven't seen anybody use it as donkey, donkey isn't even a popular topic, and I also saw a long debate about filtering these words, an admin actually supported, as for B4574RD and D4_MN, why would anybody, ever allow that on a PG site."

Yikes. First off, I hate to be rude, but you need to stop replacing periods with commas. There was literally only 1 or 2 periods in the paragraph you just wrote. I didn't say this to just sound smart, but because of all these commas it's hard to understand what you're trying to say, which makes it hard to reply.

'Damn' is something that people give their opinions on. In my opinion, damn is not a curse word. To others, it is. See what I mean? ROBLOX probably doesn't see damn as a curse word so they allow it. As for "b4st4rd", I have never seen this word used in ROBLOX, ever. And I've been playing for 5+ years. (This is an alt).

"They already do, they just use !@#$%^&* to censor it like I said, but it isn't just another insult, these have okay meanings, its like calling someone atheist as an insult."

Like I said, they have okay meanings but they're not used appropriately. Which is why ROBLOX chooses to filter these two words. It's not out of ignorance, ROBLOX is just protecting its users from attacks and insults.

And your last example is pointless. "Atheist" isn't an insult.

Saying, "You're atheist" is a statement.
"You're a stupid atheist!" is an insult, because the word stupid is an insult.

Get the difference?

I don't get what you're trying to say... you can't get banned for that either unless you were saying it rudely or offensively.

Ha, it's funny about what he said about Atheists because I'm an Atheist and proud.

I find it insulting that he looks down upon me and others by saying that "Atheist" is an insult.

Someone claimed they knew all of the British people in the entire world. So I said "Hey! It's the smartest person in the world!"

Got a 1 dayer for no valid reason.

Seriously, you are not getting this.

Atheist obviously isn't an insult, neither is g@y or r3t4rd, but people use them wrong, I'm saying calling somebody g@y or r3t4rd3d is like calling somebody atheist, it makes no sense and isn't an insult to begin with. As for d@mn, I'm aware that to some people it isn't considered an insult, but, it isn't safe, at all, for a PG environment.
As for b@s74rd, its unfiltered, and I've seen it used before. And if you think that ROBLOX is protecting its users from attacks and insults, they should of filtered actual swear words.


And commas, and periods, have nothing to do with this.
