I heard that if you enable FilteringEnabled in your game, it can prevent a lot of exploiting. I'm making a game at the moment and I was wondering if I should use this, and if it has any side effects like breaking scripts. The main tool in the game is the classic LinkedSword.

If I shouldn't, what should I do to prevent exploiters?

By the way, I'm not asking for help. I'm basically just asking what the pros/cons of it are.

FilteringEnabled blocks any input from the clients. It's a great way to stop exploitation, but you have to learn a new way of coding Lua using RemoteEvents, and not using localscripts for global stuff.

Oh. Are there any other things I can do to prevent exploiting in the game?

It's easier to just learn how to script with Filtering.

local games works just the same with Filtering on/off, it's only a problem when you need to get stuff from the player.

@Lua

If the game gets front paged, I'm not going to every single server to ban exploiters 24/7 manually.

The classic LinkedSword works with FilteringEnabled activated. It will break most other scripts, though. It is best to learn how to script with it on.

most gears/weapons made by stickmasterluke are FE compatible as he uses remote events.
