| FilterStringAsync() lags and freezes up sometimes - Why is there no way to filter a string on the client? |

| Anything done on the client can technically be hacked/exploited. To prevent this, they require that it be done on the server. I don't know why you would use that function though. |

Well, you can simply make it so that all incoming chat messages are filtered and then output to chat gui? If a person hacks it, they won't affect the chat of other players, only of their own client?
Also, what function would you use instead? |

Just make your own filter. Much easier.

Good point! That would work but unfortunately roblox doesn't provide any way to filter messages on the client.
I just choose not to use that at all. Roblox TextBoxes already do some filtering anyways. I don't see any rule that says games must filter messages. I have several games that don't filter messages and haven't gotten any warnings or anything from roblox. |

You could just make a list of stuff not allowed and then block it if the string contains it.
u sicko! |

I did make my own filter. I am just wondering why Roblox doesn't just add a client sided filtering function though.

Because that would be pointless giving the client power to modify the chat

If I don't want "ass" filtered, then why should it be filtered for me? If someone wants it filtered, then they can add it to their filter
Also, there exists a file in the roblox directory that contains words blocked with the filter but I can't remember the name |

Oh that's why then. That's really dumb though - its laggy and inefficient. I wrote my own filter script which reduces chat lag by a lot - If anyone wants it, just ask. |

They switched to a third-party filter a few months ago
diogenes.fnt is the file It used to contain the actual text but it's just symbols now |

No - All the filtering is done from roblox server side. Client connection doesn't affect that.

Jagex's filter for runescape is very good. It's so good that gold farmers stopped spamming in public chat and resorted to sending private chats to players
Example message: Vv-w-vv-Rs~wal,mart,C^0^nn,Trade&gold^account^item l0.M=3.53usd--0uo |

| It's likely that file used to be used, but then roblox switched to server-side filtering but still included the file with the roblox app |

| Roblox's filter is a bit intrusive I have to agree. They should make changes. |

| If it's on the client they could exploit it so no filtering is done, and it would get sent to the server unfiltered. |

That's the point It gets sent to the server unfiltered and the client filters all incoming chat messages using their filter |
