Acronyms such as WTF, GTFO etc. should be filtered because they contain bad language.

No, they don't contain bad language, at all. Acronyms can have a lot of different meanings, and stand for different things.

'What The Frig', 'Welcome To Friday :D", "Want To Fight?", etc, etc

@Jet,
I'm still pointing out that a lot of acronyms can have a range of different things they stand for.

As I'll state again. Acronyms can have a WIDE VARIETY of things they stand for. Yes, a person could just 'Google' them but that'll give them the most used variety of it.

No one uses WTF as "Want to fight?" on roblox, so it should be filtered.

Acronyms are not bad language.

Also, people use other words, even every day words, in place of swear words.

Should we filter those, too?

And do you have any proof that nobody does that?

"On the internet the acronyms have set meanings. Support."
Not at all. Acronyms are always morphing on the internet. WTF doesn't have a set meaning, only a common meaning as dictated by the internet.

It depends on how it's used. If I see two people arguing back and forth, and one finally decides to use the acronym "GTFO", I'm going to assume it's a substitution for that word that isn't permitted on ROBLOX.

I'm sure you guys can actually just write out those simple phrases and ROBLOX can ban these acronyms. Not really a big deal, "Want to fight" is like 10 letters.

Support. If it means something else, which I highly doubt, it'll give you a chance to actually type it out.

I've only ever seen it used for swearing.
Never any of this 'Want To Fight'.
Bump.
