I'm making a custom chat and I'm trying to figure out word censoring. I was thinking just use string.find for the words to be censored, but what if someone was to type a word containing a censored word, with a totally different meaning, for example "Assassin" (If you know what i'm saying). How would I be able to tell the difference between a word and part of a word? I was considering using spaces in the words, but that wouldn't work. Too many scenarios could happen causing that method to fail. Any ideas?

Or just use ROBLOX's filtering: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Chat/FilterStringForPlayerAsync

You don't censor it since it will always be possible to say what you want by tricking it.

There's some way to send strings through the official Roblox word filter, but I can't remember how to do that right now. Try searching on the wiki for it. Or maybe someone will just know and post how to.

Doesn't setting the Text property of TextLabel's auto-censor using that?

@cnt

The TextLabel normally just ends up defaulting to "Label" when someone posts something containing profanity.

I don't know for sure.

I do know for sure ROBLOX typically doesn't like it when you don't use their chat filter, berezaa's new game got taken down until he added that at least.

LOL no, that method wouldn't exist or would be locked if that were some reason the case.

Well not using FilterStringForPlayerAsync in a custom chat was enough to get a ROBLOX-featured game taken down and under review for a bit under a day. I don't know what to tell you.

I highly doubt that was the reason, considering many games that I know of use it anyways.
