ROBLOX's filter has gotten a bit out of hand. Even though it doesn't have a very long list of words in it, the fact that they haven't given us any hint as to what these words may be is very inconvenient for all of us.
Awhile back, I was attacking threads that suggested they needed to tell us which words broke the filter's boundaries, because I saw it as unnecessary. But now, I run into the filter with a message that is perfectly clean and not rude, and then whenever I try to change something, I run into the floodcheck. So I can spend several minutes just trying to figure out what weird word the filter doesn't like is.
When a post has a word the filter doesn't allow, when you view it over again it should put a red line under the word(s). It doesn't allow you to put anything letter immediately before, after, or in between the word, which enforces the "putting anything in your word to bypass the filter" rule as well.
So that's my idea. Reply with your thoughts. I'm going offline in a minute, so I'm only replying in the morning.
Don't say, "I don't like that you want it to be impossible to bypass the filter, because it's convenient for me," because even though it is, ROBLOX blocks those words for a reason, and enforces its rules for a reason. However, they don't enforce their rules, which is a problem. So they need to block you from getting around the filter, otherwise they don't enforce the rule, and instead allow you to bend it.

@all who would say the stuff in quotes in the last paragraph: There's this great thing called rewording! Try it!
@OP: Support. A four-page thread of mine just got blocked. HATRED RAGEMONKEYS.

@robloxkid i think you need to stay in school. the point is we dont know WHICH WORDS WE CANT USE. so it could take forever to re-words what your trying to say so it wont mess up the filter.

@cold I think you need to upgrade your understanding depolarisator. The first message was for all people who wanted to say something like this: "I don't like that you want it to be impossible to bypass the filter, because it's convenient for me," |

@Recruitsoldier
Support.
I was attempting to make a long thread about bringing back the WNTS, then I got caught by the filter. STILL trying to figure out what word is filtered. ._.

I hate it when I accidentally say a filtered worrd and I have to go back and fix it, only to be stopped by floodcheck.

Support. I remember one time in my profile it kept saying "[Content Deleted]". So I wanted to check it and I went through every paragraph posting that paragraph and adding on to the one before. In the end I didn't find anything. I didn't post the last paragraph ([The road to success is always under construction]) and it worked perfectly... I don't get it.

Bump.
What irritates me even more is they updated it, I can tell, and they didn't even tell us about it... I mean, at least a page where you can view what words the filter blocks in chat or on the forums with the reasons why they're blocked. If they seriously want us to abide the filter, I'd suggest that they at least tell us in advance what we can't say to save us a mountain of time. |

If you didn´t experience it, I advise you not to talk about it, because you don´t know the feeling of searching around in a post for ten minutes looking for what supposedly went wrong.
Also, I don´t talk badly. The worst thing I´ve ever said on the forum is idiot, and I´ve never said that directly to anybody with the purpose of insulting them. More in a joke fashion. But ROBLOX blocked a word in one of my posts that was as clean and complete as it could be, and then it went down telling me that I was breaking the rules.
It´s like you just completed a beautiful vase for your king, who inspects it, finds one tiny problem with it and sends it back, not telling you at all what he doesn´t like about it or doesn´t like in general, leaving you clueless. |
