Note: I didn’t find any topics that explained this yet and I also don’t know if this is the right category or not. If it isn’t, please let me know and I’d be happy to change it.
So, I’m currently making a Bakery for my group, but I wanted to ask a question.
I thought about the idea of making an in-game Security System for my game, but I didn’t know if they are allowed by the Roblox ToS or not.
When I say an in-game Security System, I’m asking if I can make a System that senses messages and stuff sent by players which may be considered Swearing, Being Innappropriate, Spamming, Abusing Caps, etc.
I thought this would be a good idea for my Bakery so that when it does come out I don’t have to put a lot of pressure on my Staff.
If this is or isn’t allowed, please inform me so that I can make my decision on whether this is added or not to my Bakery.
Alright, thanks! If I may ask a quick question though relating to how you mentioned about Roblox’s text filtering layer: I’ll make sure to include that, but am I allowed to maybe make it more “advanced” by maybe it deletes messages if it senses that it includes one of those reasons to or to kick others from the game?
Ye, I’m not too sure on that. There shouldn’t be a reason they should be suspended (unless they are open-sourced in some way). Perhaps Roblox is worried for team-create collaborations issues. I believe if the intent isn’t there it should be fine, however it’s risky so I wouldn’t go at it.

Roblox chat filtering is already bad enough, I don’t think you need another layer. The only bypasses are using some odd characters that look similar to a message. There are infinite amounts of these characters.
Yes, in-game security systems such as filtering are allowed. As many have mentioned, Robox’s filtering layer is required for any chat systems. But careful when making the script since scripts are filtered in Roblox for security, and language in it can bring a false-positive to moderation.
