| Because a programmed filter is intelligent enough to understand how anywhere from a normal sentence, a normal word, or even a single letter can be toxic for the child's mind. |

The filter isn't just looking for inappropriate references though. It's looking for exchanges of personal information. It's trying to prevent anyone from sending anything that could be used to harm children with.
And they had all of a few days to start it. Come on, this is actually pretty advanced. I think we should give the developers a break.
Have you seen the news articles about Roblox? You'd know why they have to do it.

| I'm sure the developers had their break already; this filter has been enforced since last year. That's more than sufficient timing to improve the algorithm of this filter. Sometimes I can't even have a complete conversation with a friend because of the absurd amount of hashtags. Although it's not entirely the algorithm that's bugging me, it's the fact that they straight out censor anything that they see would be inclined to being offensive. It's ridiculous to me since I'm a part of a older demographic, and I am not fond of this restriction of speech on this site. I'll understand if it's for the kids younger than 13 or so, but they're shoving it to everyone, and that's not such a good idea unless they really wanna push all the older people off of the site. |

Actually, no. This filter has been pretty much completely rebuilt in the past month, or ever since some negative news about Roblox circulated. It might look the same, but it's completely different.

| To be honest, I find the filter completely random. Half the time it filters out the letter "I" if it was used singularly and not apart of la word. (La = the letter after caps lock and before s. Yet another example of how ridiculous it is.) |

| ROBLOX has made so many mistakes at this point I'll just be guessing the date of when the Apocalypse will happen and 100 Thousand people will break into the ROBLOX HQ, murder every employee and take over ROBLOX. |

| Rebuilt in the last month? Why are they deciding to do that at the last minute? The filter has been around for such a while, you would think that they'll be able to modify the algorithm and such. If that's the case, then what were they doing during all these months? |

| Some filthy ingrates made some very rude comments about Roblox on a blog post and Roblox is trying to prevent it from happening again. That's why we have a stronger filter. |

| Why don't they filter their Blog instead of filtering the games then if that's the case. If they're so offended by toxic comments on the blog, then they shouldn't be emphasizing censorship on such a scale where it affects actual socializing in-game. Toxic people on the internet will always be around, whether Roblox likes it or not, and full-on censorship is not the answer. |

| Besides, the blog WAS moderated either by bots or real people, so whoever let it through onto the blog is their faults. |
