HatHelper informed me that users who have custom chat guis in their game got a message from the Roblox [System Message]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Your game here: http://www.roblox.com/The-Conquerors-v2-9-3-place?id=13149917 is currently violating roblox rules by having an additional chat GUI outside of the ROBLOX chat system. Please remove this chat GUI from the game and any other game you have it in no later than Thursday 11/29/12. If you do not remove it by this time we will delete any game from the site with it and moderate your account. Thank you, ROBLOX Administrators ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously! There are a few issues that are involved with this. For one thing, there are certain things in which custom chat guis are needed such as creating private communication in a game or things specifically designed for the game that need custom chat. Take stickmasterluke's game "Draw it!" for example. He has to use that custom chat gui so the player that is chosen to draw can't just tell people what it is, he also needs it so when a player guesses the word, it won't show it. Hes an admin himself so the fact that they say "ROBLOX Administrators" irritates me a bit because I am certain that he wouldn't approve of this. The admins really need to think before they just send out things like this. I have not confirmed if this message is true, but he did show me a screenshot so I can assume it was. I really just hope that they don't do this to the thousands of people who use ihaveamac's iChatGui v8. |

Why does everyone assume this is true? HH is not an admin and, until an admin says this is against the rules, it isn't. Please stop making assumptions.
He probably only used this as an excuse to remove his chat gui anyway. Maybe it had a bug and he didn't want to give people hints on how to exploit the bug. |

| I don't know what you're talking about...? For the most part guis have much more strict filters than anything else on the entire game, so it's not like there are things that can really be said with them. Anyways, some games require it for the simple reason that real estate on the game screen IS small, and games that use a lot of guis/hide the normal one require one for people to see what others are saying. |

Faker than the cake from Portal. Honestly, I don't care. I'm still using mine. The user chats through the ROBLOX Chat Bar and then it s displayed in a *working* GUI. ROBLOX can't say I'm "violating ROBLOX policy".

I'm still using mine, too.
I don't care if it gets deleted.
Not like it will ever get popular, either :P
I mean, it's silly that they are/thinking about banning chat guis. |

@Arceus,
See reese's post: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=83128517
As suggested on that thread, at least give us a (Is)Over13 property/method in the player object. Otherwise everyone who is under 13 is going to see our chat GUIs regardless of if they can chat with it or not. |

HatHelper is correct. Custom chat GUIs are not advised.

@Sorucs That PM makes it seem like they are more than "not advised"... |

I could swear that I've seen something like this before... |

@Popin It is possible to check if the user is safe chat or not, and I have done so in my chat GUI, but this property would be very useful. As much as I would love to have an (Is)Over13 property, the admins will probably never add this property. |

The only issue I see with custom chat is that moderation is impossible.
But that's not the reason Reese cited in the other thread. ROBLOX GUIs have more strict filtering than the initial chat screening. |
