Instead of ROBLOX censoring inappropriate words with ####s, why not replace it with a random word of the same length?
For example:
"#### you" becomes "Duck you" or another four-letter word instead of duck.
Not a vital update, but the outcomes would also be a lot funnier than just ####

| I didn't say it was supposed to be funny, but this is a kids game, remember? What's wrong with ROBLOX injecting a bit of humour? |

im fine with humor but i dont think humor should be made from someone breaking the rules it just doesnt seem "professional", which roblox tries really hard to be |

| Fair point, but substituting censored words with another, unrelated word shows ROBLOX is a kids game, which in my opinion, shows some levels of professionalism. |

Roblox isn't a kids game, for one. And secondly, wouldn't this make it worse? It makes the word painfully obvious. Instead, replace it with a blank.

ROBLOX isn't a kid's game? What?
Espithel suggested this exact same thing and he got pages and pages of support. And then another guy comes in with the same idea and he gets bashed and insulted irrationally? What the hell?
Anyways, I mean I guess this is alright. But it shouldn't be something like duck. It needs to be more random. Like a squib or something. |

Roblox is a game development tool.

It is also a gaming market with kids as the target demographic. ROBLOX Studio fits that description better anyways, CS. |

I agree with CSCordyl. Replace it with a blank.

No, it's still a game development tool Roblox is moving away from kids and towards teenagers. It's visible.

Also agree that ROBLOX is shifting appeal toward developers.

I think there's been a slight misunderstanding, I didn't mean that the ONLY word was duck (it was a random example), I meant that there are a range of words that could replace the offensive word.
Also, ROBLOX may be shifting towards developers, but at the same time those developers will be targeting their game at kids and teenagers, will they not? |

Roblox isn't a kids game. It hasn't been for a very long time.

Teenagers don't want to be censored. Nobody does.
Plus, if you just replace the word, it's not too hard to guess what is was supposed to be. With a blank, the possibilities are never ending.

| Having humor does not necessarily mean creating jokes and puns towards profanity. There are different things with humor that are not so... inappropriate. |

I didn't say that it wasn't, did I? I just said the target demographic is still for kids. Most customers are children. I don't know about the consumers, though. Probably mostly kids as well.
They're shifting appeal because they want to promote their DevEx update and ROBLOX Studio, if at all. ROBLOX has a wide demographic. Their target were tender aged children, but they have a loyal playerbase which includes most players, which is why their players are getting older. |

There will always be ways to bypass filters... ROBLOX should stop trying to improve the censor, and leave it as is. ROBLOX IS technically a children's game, and it probably is required to have a censor. I will have to research that.

I have never seen anyone younger than 12 on Roblox.
Ever. Their target demographic is most certainly not children. That should be obvious with the games getting edgier and the updates which benefit developers more than anyone.

@CS I have seen plenty of people below 12 on ROBLOX. Maybe you just isolate yourself more.

No. I personally hate the pounds they use for censoring. They probably want it to be ugly so people won't want to curse, but at this point they censor everything.
I would support if it only censors swear words, because that won't really destroy the whole sentence. But I think people who play 13+ style should have their own censoring system, or no censoring system. |

| Everyone shut the Hell up about demographics. This game is intended for people all ages and should respected in that manner. Not biased towards an age group. |
