I've seen their blog post about "Keeping our Community Safe" multiple times, and I understand they want to keep the community safe. Well, ensuring safety in settings is a decent way. When the new filter just came out, I understood that filtering could help keep the community safe, but now Roblox thinks that people would agree with them on the safety part so they can block words that aren't even offensive.

I heard that they blocked numbers because some idiots tell their age. Here's my opinion on that.
Uno: If they get hacked and the reason was because they told their age, it's their fault.
Dos: Also, Roblox should improve the "context" more. For example, I play Mad Games, and in this game mode called "Balloon Hunt", at the end of the round if I wanted to tell my friends how much I got, well, I can't. Because of the filter. They should improve the filter even more. You'd probably think that they don't have enough money. Well they do, because of all these random, and in my opinion stupid, updates just for money, so they're earning plenty. Such as, well, idk if I'm wrong, but maybe the removal of tix...

They also block words like "The" and words with a contraction sometimes. So yeah, this is totally getting out of hand. And I've heard from some people that they do this stupid filtering to teens as well. If that's really true, then just yeah. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
And all the changes I made to this post, like the Spanish above, is all because of the filtering.

EDIT: In Balloon Hunt, I would want to tell my friends how much balloons I exploded and it would come out in hashtags.

Yeah, numbers don't even need to be tagged, if kids aren't taught internet safety then it's the parents fault. I play this o ne game where I have to say the price of something for me to sell it, the numbers are tagged. Dank memes melt steel beams!

I agree. ROBLOX should scale the filtering down to 50% and the mods should step up their game by initiating warnings to users who use offensive language. After two warnings, destroy the account permanently and in the worst case scenario, inflict an IP ban.

I agree force, the problem is we don't know what they think is offensive.

Every curse word should be filtered because that is offending. The rest of the words are irrelevant. What ROBLOX is doing right now, is filtering every word in the dictionary. They might as well remove the entire chat function in that case to save them time.

If someone is being bullied, the player should report it to a moderator so the chat logs can be reviewed. And if the moderators can't handle all these reports, then ROBLOX should hire more people to secure safety.

You know what would be grand?

Filtering accounts that are 13+ and ones that aren't into separate servers.

I think they are because you cant say #### or more words without the WHOLE thing being hash-tagged it's extremely hard to communicate through these disabilities. I definitely think they should change this because there are some words they hashtag that are part of normal conversations and you cant get anything through. They need to stop being overprotective...

Once again force I agree. The big problem is that the moderators don't even do their job, as they don't read reports because they think reports are a "waste of time". What bothers me is that they don't read hax reports. If this keeps up, this chat system will be as worse as Club Penguin's safe chat. As for having no chat... well that would mean a large drop in players. But then again Roblox is as savage as what they did here... I'd say a twen ty fi ve percent chance they will block chatting completely.

Cmon guys, GET MORE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THIS SO THE RANT TO FIX THE FILTER CAN EXPAND FOR REAL. There's a bunch of threads with this, but still we have to keep this going.

Whoops. Forgot that Roblox hates threads that rant on their ideas which they think will "improve the community". Hopefully they don't ban this thread...

I agree all the way. ROBLOX moderators have taken it TOO FAR with chat filtering. They should have at least a less aggressive chat filter and stop doing this > ##### to nearly everything people say! >:(

Us: Please fix the filter, none of us can even have a simple conversation! Numbers don't need to be blocked and you're blocking words from literally the whole dictionary!

Roblox: OMG NUU SKRUBS WE HAV TO KEEP DIS SAFE. WE ARE GREEDY FOR NEW PLAYERS SO THEY CAN FALL IN OUR PATH OF BEING SAFE! IF YOU SUFFER THE SAME FATE ITS UR FAULT HAHA IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!

If you're planning to make a "safe" filter, at least cut it out for teenagers. They do NOT need to suffer the same fate.

Blocking every word in the dictionary is not thinking out-of-the-box to help keep kids from being hacked. Get it? The t wo step verification has done enough!

You've already done updates such as the removal of tix and body colors and earned more money from them (well I predict you will earn lots of money from the body color removal). Seriously, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS HIDING?!

I'm officially changing this thread to a petition to fix the filter. We need to keep the filter rants going strong, so please sign this if you want the old filter back.

-Nk.

@WhippingWhip

people who have enough time to waste to try to bypass the word filter should be the ones being punished not the entire community because these specific people wish to be offensive.

why don't you Google: punishing everyone for the actions of a few. and learn something Roblox

Just write roblox a ####### ## n to ## e they probably won't care. If they keep doing this. Then we'll just stop playing games. The new chat system is just... idk what to do.
