So first of all the WNTS thread states: • Ban groups for religion/racial minorities/LGBT. (Roblox is a welcoming place and we allow anyone with the means to create a group about their interests, so long as that group is not spreading hate or trying to convert others.) • Allow religious talk/race talk/political talk/LGBT discussion on the forums. (While we allow groups about this, talking about it on the forums is not allowed because it often leads to flame wars.) • Stop being a kids' site/give us 13+ features. (We're aware of the interest.)
"ROBLOX is a welcoming place" and goes on to talk that LGBT discussion is allowed in groups yet I can not say g@y without the fear of moderation for it, even in groups. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? |

| I agree with there being a forum to discuss politics and whatnot, but if "g@y" and other words like that aren't filtered then people will just use them as insults |

Nico, I think they are afraid that it may be used to negatively criticize a specific action or a specific object, or anything specific at all.
And that is why I really hate idiots who do that. |

| There already is harassment going on with available words, can't a moderation team deal with them? |

| But it takes unnecessary time and money to do that, by paying for more mods and trying to find people who use the words in a negative context. It's better off that it's filtered. |

Look, Nico, that's like making an authoritarian society that if you do not report a problem, you will get in trouble, and that it expects everyone to be honest and kind, while needing a much bigger mod team to accompany multiple time zones.
AND I SURELY CAN'T DO THAT! |

There are too many ways to bypass the filter, so no there's no point. Also, we don't want ROBLOX to become a game like Club Penguin when even words such as 'hate' are censored.
In life, people use profanity. Get over it |

| Well it's unfair these words are censored and you can get banned for saying that you are LGBT so either way this change would allow more freedom and exactly what the person speaking about club penguin said, ROBLOX shouldn't be even near that |

"In life, people use profanity. Get over it"
you do know how many people who are under 13 browse this website right?
also, allowing more "bad words" to the whitelist would be bad as well, considering roblox is still COPPA approved. i'm sure they want to keep it this way. it would be a heavy blow to roblox to lose that sponsorship or whatever they have going on with COPPA.

i agree, that is why i labelled it as a "bad word"
i don't think it is a bad word, but soccer moms out there believe it is.
you're gonna have to get over it, they won't do this. |
