You know, at first I wasn't really disturbed by the filter, but now I can kind of see the problem. The problems I see are roleplay games that use roblox's filter now act as if it's the 12- filter AND, the 12- filter is acting up weirdly. So here's what I propose.
1.>>>>Change the way the 12- filter works and get rid of Sift!<<<< Some very common words are being censored. Such as lol, i'm, RP, profile, age, and other stuff (these are the ones i've seen lately by the way). I can understand some of these. I understand you need to protect the kids from old people trying to lure them online, but you don't need to make them suffer too. You're taking away their freedom of speech with all this censoring. Also, making the chat get flooded with hashtags. This can't be the only way ROBLOX. I'd say you should revert the filter back to the old one, but that's on the WNTS so no. No, I have an even better idea. Leave what is censored up to the parents. For 12- accounts ONLY, what is and what isn't hashtagged is up to the parents. It's time you make the PARENTS be responsible for their kids. This way, you won't get blamed for when stuff like a six year old getting lured on line happens. It's the parent's job to protect their kids on the internet. Not saying you shouldn't try though either. Until an account has an ema1##### (mispelling on purpose) cannot chat in-game, message, or use any other way of communication. They can still play games, but they have SUPER safe chat so what they say is pre-selected.
2.>>>Make RP games use the 13+ filter and restrict roleplay games to 13+<<< (Sorry if RP games already use the 13+ filter. Everything is getting hashtagged, and I am NOT the only one. Neither do I have a bad moderation history, or have I sworn enough for me to deserve a harsh filter.) If ROBLOX fears kids shouldn't be on a 13+ filter just because of a roleplay game, then don't allow them at all. Roleplays can kind of get intense, or inappropriate at times. So just don't allow 11- (11- since some 12 year olds are pretty edgy) to play roleplays. Or, give a 12- or 11- genre of role-playing, then a 13+ genre. (I'm a bit skeptical about that one actually, so I wouldn't mind criticism on that)
3.>>>18+ filter<<< Oh yes, oh yes. I mean, ahem, yes an 18+ filter. Just as you would expect, no hashtags at all. Except if you asked a 12- something like where they are in real life would pop up as hashtags for them. 18+ can only see what other 18+ say, BUT there's a catch.. For 18+, you need some kind of identification to PROVE you are above 18 or at 18. Such as a card, or something. (Come up with things for identification in the replies). Maybe pay $1.00 with a card (with one week of BC possibly) to prove it like how Microsoft makes you pay to prove you're an adult.
4.>>>If something is inappropriate, then remove it from the chat completely<< Pound sign, or hashtag. Whatever you want to call it. It litters the chat. We don't need our chat filled with hashtags if we can't understand what it means. Instead, remove what the person said, then a sign in the chat with a reason why. 12- would be "Restricted by parent", 13+ would be "Inappropriate content was found in what you said", 18+ stuff wouldn't appear or 13+ or 12-. It would only appear for other 18+ (like I mentioned before). Kind of like the [Content Deleted] from the old filter. Except, your content wasn't in the chat at all, and you're given an actual reason.
-Conclusion- These are all the ideas I have for now. I'd really LOVE some criticism. Like some support, and what ROBLOX could change about it. If you don't support, give a reason why. Also try to come up with more ideas to fix this filter in the replies.

I support this! I honestly think these are some great ideas and would really like to see some implemented into Roblox! Especially the first one. I honestly think that the "super" safe chat is way too safe since it really tags the words that are harmless! It would be awesome if they brought back the safe chat we used to have, so players under the age of 13 could communicate more easily with other players! :D These past few days, all I've seen were the forums flooded with the tags problem, I'm against it too. One incident that happened a few days back shouldn't really affect the whole Roblox community and censor the most innocent words! Parents should take responsibility into their children and make sure they're safe! It isn't really fair for those players under the age of 13 to suffer communicating in tags! (also going to those players above the age of 13 trying to communicate with the other players) I honestly think these ideas are amazing, and should probably be noticed by a moderator so it could possibly be changed back and reel back in those Robloxians who disliked this change to the chat. Everyone will enjoy if it were go back to the old safe chat, the one where innocent words weren't hash-tagged and only those of harm be tagged! Thank you for taking the time to read this and also a big thanks for posting this! -Thunder_063 |

Edit to 1: Parents control what they can't see from other people and what they can say without getting hashtagged to other people.

I don't want to bump this as much as that monkey guy bumped his suggestion, but this is very important. Bump.

@Dreyden Have you not read the news about a 6 year old girl being messaged by a complete stranger asking where she lived? It even shows it when you type in "Roblox" in your search bar. That's pretty much the main point they added this "feature" into Roblox. -Thunder_063 |

| 1. PERFECT. 1000/10 2. Ehh. 3. I love the 18+ filter idea. But a card wouldn't be the best identification because there's those kids who steal their mom's credit card and stuff. 4. YES. Okay, so here's what I have discovered. ######### #### ##### ########## ######### - Just testing to see if it will show up.. if there's hashtags for all of this, look at the last word on my username.. see what I mean? Innocent words. I really hate that. I honestly changed my b-day year back when I joined Roblox so that I could actually type to chat ("Hashtags" didn't exist at all back when I joined Roblox and it had the pre-selected bubble chat). This system is messed up. It needs to be fixed NOW. Communication has become more difficult, and that is key to making new friends! This means Roblox isn't doing a very good job in fulfilling all that you can do on Roblox that involves chatting with other people. Know what I mean? ;P |
