Millions of people love the viral game known as ROBLOX. It's a game for all ages to enjoy, young or old. This is the type of game that lets your imagination run free...or that's what they say, anyways. I've played ROBLOX for 5 years and I've enjoyed the game for the most part. But the main problem that I have is the broken chat filtering that it contains. You can say the simplest of words, "1", "Suck", etc. Somehow, these simple words that either contain a little bit of profanity if used in that way, or no profanity at all, get censored completely.

This problem has not only made my experience less fun, but it has done the same to all of my friends and thousands of people. Don't get me wrong, ROBLOX is a kids game, and I appreciate the effort they are putting in to try to protect children from harsh topics and profanity. The problem is, they are doing it in the worse way possible. There are other ways to fix this problem rather than censoring everything with hashtags. If they were to fix this problem, it would make everyone's experience much better.

This problem can be fixed by adding an age rating system to ROBLOX's games. What I mean by this, is to add certain restrictions to each game that can add more censoring or take it out completely. One example would be a family simulator game (like the Sims series), that must be family friendly. This would be rated E for everyone, or maybe a higher rating if it has mature content. Another example would be a Mortal Kombat-like game, with a rating of M for mature.

If they were to implement this into ROBLOX's games, it would finally be able to "Power Imagination".

(Also, recently found out that ROBLOX has even shut down games due to them not having chat filter)

Normal words get censored, because the chat filter mostly censors your words based on phrases. Long story short, if you say things in a certain way, they get censored.

I agree though that we need this age rating system that you're suggesting.

And if they can't do that, then they should try to revise their chat filter. I know that the second option would take longer to add than this age rating system, but it would be a nice alternative regardless of the amount of time it would take.

Support,

I agree completely with this age restriction idea because the current one isn't exactly true to its purpose due to it only restricting the age of users by how many days their account has been created instead of their actual age. 13+ and 17+ for RP games would also bring more older players back into the game because the RP community is a mess right now because of all of the children ruining it. I believe that games with 13+ and 17+ age restrictions should be able to implement their own custom chat to override the filter or just have the chat filter disabled completely because it ruins roleplay as much as the invisible wall put in place preventing people from typing descriptive paragraphs.

chat filtering was a good idea when it was used to prevent swearing and make a chat more age friendly but this is just borderline an Infringement on our Right of Free Speech

Chat Filtering is Becoming an Infringing on the Rights our Forefathers Fought and Died For don't let roblox disgrace them
