Wow, I got through most of the George Carlin list, the one word not allowed surprised me when many other much stronger ones were, but whatever, it was funny to see them echo back.
I blurred out a lot of the gore (I get banned enough) and curse words, but you can certainly say just about anything not targeted directly to someone else.
If an NPC says the F-word, we will have to upload a script that has the F-word in it. Does this count as something we cannot do right now? What about BillboardGuis or TextLabel content?
You first have to update your questionnaire to include that your experience has strong language in it to update your rating, then as long as the strong language isn’t audio or image files, according to the rules as I read them, you should be clear. So the NPC can’t say f*** via audio and you can’t have a giant sign in game that reads f*** but text chat is what the update is referring to, the way I understand it anyway, so the NPC texting profanity that isn’t directed at the player should be ok. Just like the example sign on the first post, the NPC can get scared and shout “s*** that scared me”, but the NPC can’t say “[insert player name] you are a piece of s***”. Someone please correct me if I misunderstand.
The voices in my head… can finally be let out…
Never thought I’d see the day. Makes me wonder how developers would be able to use said language in their games though. Whether its through audio, images, UI text etc.
Woo hoo! Now I can make gta v in roblox! With all the curse words!!!
A good example would be like this:
Player makes a decision to betray NPC
“God, why did you do that? You’re so f-ing stupid!” - Any reasonable player would enjoy this, as they realise it’s not ‘real’ and it does help a plentiful amount.
How is this going to be moderated with the current moderation system which does not understand context?
Is there any official explanation by Roblox on why all these ‘adult’ features are 17+ instead of 18+?
Why not bump it up one year? (especially for dating related stuff…)
because 18+ is for *orn 17+ isnt
Can the Chat/Text filter review requests be updated for to include this as an option? I already have found issues with this newer filter (various simple variations of un-filtered swear words, sometimes even just by adding a “s” at the end, get filtered)
Additionally, can you resolve the words that shouldn’t be even filtered problem, that keeps happening? I can’t even say the word “spoon” or “scooter” (or any of the other incorrectly filtered words) in a 17+ Experience with ‘Strong Language’ enabled.
I am aware that it shows that on the mobile app, but my question was for website and desktop app as there currently is no such feature for those two.
Woah, with this feature. I don’t know if it could pass the audio with strong language.
(That’s because I want to make GTA-Styled game around 10 years later.)
Why not for 13+ games anymore?
The game needs to allow it first!
I still need a question answered.
Can we get a censor / age checking service?
You see, one major problem currently is that 17+ games require ID verification and a lot of people don’t want to do that.
The verified 17+ users on Roblox is currently still rather… small and not very profitable for games.
I have plenty of friends who are already in their 20s but with whom I cannot test or play these games together because they either don’t want to or don’t really trust Roblox with their ID.
Uploading 17+ and 13+ versions of my game is a bit of an hassle.
Especially if I’ll have strong language in a game, I’ll have to completely remove any words or mentions of it in 13+ versions of said game including where you’d never see it, which is a lotta work for a single man.
Okay so hear me out.
I would love to have some sort of “censoring service” or a service that let’s me check if someone is verified.
I actually want my 17+ games to be playable by unverified users, but if the user is unverified or below 17, I’ll censor and reduce all the extreme content so it follows the 13+ guidelines.
If all of this can be done within the same experience it would make it much easier for people to enjoy and I’d have to do less work maintaining 2 copies of a game and can instead just script the whole censoring process in.
I really wish to hear something about this.
I like this. Sadly the people over at The Sims are doing the total opposite: going from risque trailers to not even being allowed to say the most minor of swear words in their Discord server—like ‘crap’.
FilterStringForUserAsync or something simular, use a word like “damn” or something
if it filters, they are <13
this can be inaccurate depending on what word u use or whatever, but when i test the word, i noticed 13+ users can mainly see it, i didnt test this method tho
This system is highly inaccurate and wouldn’t work.
Only verified 17+ players can join 17+ games and even if <17 users SOMEHOW could join the game, this would be a very inaccurate way to check if they’re old enough.
The problem also is, if I make a game 13+, I cannot even have strong language hidden in scripts or text that the user never sees because Roblox moderation scans through a game’s contents.
Even if I never show a <17 user any strong language, moderation will still detect strings of text hidden in the game files and moderate it.
So I either have to work extra hard on 2 games, one being 17+ and one being 13+ or I have to lock out a lot of users and let them miss out on a quality experience.
I just wish Roblox had a censoring/age checking service so I can have different age groups in the same game and just censor/hide content for those who are not verified.
It would be the best of both worlds.
17+ content for those old enough, accessibility AND profit.
I thought you meant something else, mb idk what i was thinking of when i replied that
