The chat filter is more restrictive than ever. Rather than go on a tangent about how bad they are, I'll just list a few definitions of words that get needlessly censored.

1. an extended mass of ice formed from snow falling and accumulating over the years and moving very slowly, either descending from high mountains

2. a professional soldier hired to serve in a foreign army

Numbers.

Words that aren't considered real

Seriously, we've all had enough. I can't even write formally anymore due to how fed up I am with this.

Yeah its getting out of control. Its gotten to the point where I can't even form a complete sentence and can't even put numbers in the chat. There should be an option to turn chat filter off, because its pretty ridiculous

Or just stop relying on community sift. I believe they use that filter, which is known by now to be highly inconsistent.

I don't know why they don't just get rid of the whitelist for users who aren't older than 13 and replace it with the Blacklist.

Whitelist - Contains a list of words that the user can say and if the word isn't on the list then it will get censored.

Blacklist - Contains a list of words that the user can't say and if the word they say is on the list then that word gets hashtagged.

Yep. The filter just censored the word 'the' AGAIN... and then it censored the words ###### (I was using it to describe a laundry #### that I was building, and then it censored 'camera', which is an ACTUAL STUDIO OBJECT. -_-

The word it just filtered is no_ok (with the _ removed), which is a perfectly clean word, to my knowledge.

Agreed. I tried to search up a friend on ROBLOX the other day, it instantly got censored and wouldn't give me any results.

You have a good point, the filters are out of control.

So,

We have these filters for a reason people!!

Question: Why are numbers censored?

Answer: Because ROBLOX doesn't want younger users giving away personal information to some 30 year old who the kid trusts!

These filters are to protect our younger users, so please understand ROBLOX's meaning behind them.

Thanks to listening to my suggestion, and have a great day.

########## There is an extremely simple thing that ROBLOX could do to prevent that. Simply have the output of 13 and older users be censored to the whitelist for under 13s, and have under 13s be censored for everyone. Papa bless

ROBLOX shouldn't have to rely on community sift. They can simply make their own blacklist. CS is highly erratic and works with a whitelist.
