Users are abusing the Comments very heavily, and I hate to say this, but we need to block more and more words. I also suggest adding a system that detects whether a word is bad or not, like this;
Gets the word, removes spaces, removes numbers, ('s,and {'s then replaces them with |'s, gets blocked words, gets the amount of characters in the word (ex: Trade would have 5 characters), gets blocked words that have those much characters, see's if it has the exact same letters minus the missing ones and the |'s (in other words, gets Trade and tr|d|, compares them, removes the characters |, a, and e, compares them, if the same then blocks it. This would help with stuff like TR4D3, D0M4IN, etc.
Here's a list of words that should be blocked and would help fight spam:
DOT - Would help fight the survey spams.
how to get - Block this statement, not the exact words
Come - Would help fight the "come to my place" spam
Place - Would help fight the "come to my place" spam
buy gear - Block this statement, not the exact words. Would help fight the "come to my place" spam
Domain - The false New ROBLOX Domain Spam would die
Trade - "Send Trades" is the most common spam
for free BC - Block this statement, not the exact words, that way some of the copy/paste spam would die
free BC - Block this statement, not the exact words
copy/paste - Block this statement, not the exact words
copy and paste - Block this statement, not the exact words
Profile - Would help fight the "See my profile blurb" spam
Blurb - Would help fight the "See my profile blurb" spam
Follow me - Block this statement, not the exact words
Follow - Would help fight the "come to my place" spam
Primary - Would help fight "Join my primary" spam
Group - Would help fight "Join my clan/group" spam
Clan - Would help fight "Join my clan" spam
Legion - Would help fight "Join my clan" spam
Send me - Block this statement, not the exact words
Join - Would help "Join me at my place" spam, and "Join my group" spam.
Of course existing posts would remain, but new posts with these words in them attempting to be made would be blocked. if the spam dies out completely then they would be re-allowed again. This would take some work but would work well to fight spam.
To add on, words will be removed once that kind of spam is completely dead. |

Most of these words are used for non-spam purposes... This would be like the blacklist part 2... |

This would not be a happy ROBLOX.
I use those words all the time, and not for spam. No support. |

What other choice have we come to?
Most of ROBLOX uses it for spam, and whether the non-spammers like it or not, we need to take this action to end the spam once and for all, plus it wouldn't be forever, once the spam ultimately dies out then it will be allowed again. |

No, just no....
Doing this will anger people who were not spamming. |

No, this is not the only way to stop spamming. As I said, this will anger users who never intended on spamming.
You want my answer? Okay, there is no official way to "stop" spamming. |

There is always a way to spam no matter how much a site tries to prevent it. And this would be like censoring the many, because of the few bad apples in the Roblox Community. |

@Big: the hundreds*
Plus, why'd you need the word Join for example? Why need Follow Me? You don't need it really except for spamming. |

Link Blockers, Spam, and everything nice These were the ingredients chosen To create the perfect comment system But ROBLOX accidentally Added an extra ingredients to the concoction-- Chemical 3600 second wait time Thus, The spam bots were born!
THIS IS AN EXTREME THIRST! |

If every one of these words were blocked then the spam would die.
EVERY SINGLE one of these words is used in most of the spam on ROBLOX |

There's no way to stop spam, as you can see, people will just bypass the filter using spaces. Not to mention, this will anger ROBLOX users who never intended to spam.
It's completely useless. |

spammers find a way around it. For example "builderman told me how to get 1000 robux"
"bldermen told meh how 2 get 1000 rs" |

@Mal: It auto removes spaces, ('s, numbers, and blocks the word DOT, then replaces the missing characters (Other than ('s and DOT) with |, gets words from the filter, compares them, if they seem to have the same characters minus the |'s then it blocks it.
There is no way to bypass with this update, rather a use of different words.

@Suns:
Still, it will anger the community who weren't intending to spam.
You can try to prevent spam, but, think of the community. Think of a better idea. |
