Instead maybe they can just filter swear words instead of blocking out 90% of the English language.

Agreed. Censoring almost every word is infringing everyone around the world's freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to communicate their own opinion. Censoring almost every word is considered to be violating a human right and is ridiculous. I know you can restrict it to some degree, but please only censor real swear words.

As I have posted, they can restrict it to some degree, and that degree is censoring only swear words.

You have a good point. Unfortunately things can go through the filter, that's probably why they censored almost all words.

@ezergad3000

It really does block out 90%?

Good god.

@BooneHEAD

Well, I mean, don't get rid of it completely, just not basically the entire dictionary.

I also give this full support. As a human in real life, this censoring is silly.

ROBLOX is a website that's, arguably, marketed towards children. It requires the filter to maintain this (TRUSTe & COPA). Would you rather have an over zealous filter, or a filter which didn't filter "bad words" at all?

If you wish to suggest for a word to be allowed through, send an email to ROBLOX. However, the reason that the majority of the message may be being filtered is due to it being sent from an under 13 account, which inherently has a much stricter filter (based on a whitelist of allowed words, rather than a blacklist of words).

I'm not trying to be smart here but I'll take the middle. Real swears banned.

Yes this is a under 13 and up website, but the censoring of other words is bad and can be confusing to the one who receives a censored message from a fan.

Yes, the filtering applies to both over and under thirteen accounts. However, depending on which category you fall into it, it filters in a different way.

If you're under thirteen it only allows you to say/see words which are on a whitelist. However, if you're over thirteen it allows you to say anything you want, but will filter out any words on the blacklist.

As I said, if you wish to suggest a word to be added to either list, send ROBLOX an email.

Roblox HAS to fix the filter system. You cannot even communicate your strategies in games.

I remember when there was no filtering, 2012, so everyone spammed the moderators with reports of someone swearing. *SUDDENLY STAFF MEETING* Nope. They wanted their moderators not to have such a hard job.

(I just made that up.)

Before there was the # filter,13- people could not talk at all which means if the # filter was to be removed 13- would not have the ability to talk.
