An update has been rolled out today that updates censorship and how things are hashtagged.

And as a developer, this update has ruined most of the ways I communicate with my players.

In the next few days many games are going to have to be renamed due to the filter censoring the names of their game.

Here are some problems with this new filter update from a developer's side:
Developers will have to find new ways to interact with their players instead of social media. Nobody will be able to say much of anything on the forums due to their posts being censored, even if they're talking about perfectly acceptable topics.

Here are the ways that normal players will be impacted:
People will have trouble talking to each other through ROBLOX chats, forum posts, and the in-game chat. You're probably going to have to move to third-party programs to talk to your ROBLOX friends.

A list of some of the things that are now censored:
Many ROBLOX usernames.
The names of almost all social media sites.
ROBLOX Site links.
All Site links (including links ALLOWED by roblox.)
Some forum signatures.
Catalog/Game searches are sometimes censored, too.

Keep in mind all these things all apply to users over 13 years old.
The filter for users UNDER 13 years old is even worse.
It censors every single number, most long words, and many, many more things.

I really don't think this is the best way to stop bad people from saying bad things. I could understand the filter blocking actual swearing, links leading to inappropriate sites, links leading to scam sites, inappropriate language, etc

But I think that censoring this many things is absolutely not the way to go. This update will make game developing extremely frustrating and difficult due to most of your messages, descriptions, and game names getting censored. This will most likely lead to a drop in active game developers.




Please post "Support" below if you agree that the filter shouldn't be as strict as this, and that ROBLOX should tone down the filter so that you can actually communicate on this site.

I support, but I'm extremely doubtful that ROBLOX will tone it down. I don't even think they will even tone it down by an inch. It's a proven fact that ROBLOX doesn't give any sort of crap about the community. (Tix removal.)

But I do support, it's stupid that they would make it this extreme
