Change name isn't filtering

I want it so no inappropriate names can be made. The filter isn’t tagging the inappropriate words, so the name can be any bad word. Does anyone know why it isn’t filtering?

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameChangeEvent
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)
	
	local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local filteredName = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(name, plr.UserId)
	
	local filteredNameAsString = filteredName:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
	
	local nameGui = char.Head:FindFirstChild("NameGui")
	
	local namelabel = nameGui:FindFirstChild("NameLabel")
	
	namelabel.Text = filteredNameAsString
	
end)

You can filter word using TextService

local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
local filteredTextResult = TextService:FilterStringAsync(text, fromPlayerId)

You can read more here and make sure you can it on the server.

Hello, sorry for that. I haven’t read your script but it may helpful for someone. I just did a research and find out that Filtering don’t work in Studio. You should go in real game to have the best result. More information go here.

Did you publish the game? If so, check that privacy is set to private so that only people who have access to edit the game can join.
