Chat Filter -- Jumping Jacks

Bug Reports Roblox Application and Website Bugs

Hello, I’m part of a military group called the Joint Security Area. We’re facing an issue with the chat filter. During physical training, some members are required to perform jumping jacks or “hell jacks” within a specific time frame. However, the way we count by typing each number or word individually—often triggers warnings for spamming.
For example, we might type:
O
N
E

ONE

ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
FIVE

This format is essential for our drills, but it’s causing unnecessary chat moderation issues. Is there a way to adjust the filter so we dont keep getting warned?

Expected behavior

Don’t get warned, by the chat filter or moderators by doing jumping jacks.

could you not just make it fake a chat message whenever they jump, and keep a counter on how many times they’ve jumped

What do you mean by that? (filler filler filler filler)

He means make a system for it instead of naturally monitoring it.

So after, the script would return true for if they completed it, and false for if they failed.

this more would likely follow under Help and Feedback > Scripting Support if that’s the case

I would recommend NOT relying on Roblox Chat for doing these Jumping Jacks (Grammar Jacks)

Im just a community member so i dont have any influence on this.

Ah, well in that case…your well, screwed.
Roblox Chat does NOT have any tolerance for counting up from 1-5, trust.

Well its not like its the biggest problem i will see what roblox staff say.

I mean, technically typing numbers 1-5 is a text chat violation if you are doing it as fast as possible, so…

Then don’t use the chat, make a script to track the user’s consecutive jumps and put a number above their head. The chat filter will always filter spam, so this isn’t a bug.

They don’t want to fake a chat message because this is some sort of hazing/discipline thing in their roleplay community. Being required to type out the full thing is the point.

Yes exactly thats what i meant.

Easy solution to this is bypassing chat filter for these specific messages that builds on other user’s suggestions while preserving intent… Just have a system that intercepts chat messages where the entire string is “ONE”, “TWO”, “THREE”, etc. and posts a fake chat bubble with that message.

Hi, as others mentioned for situations like this the text filter appears to be working as intended the TexFilter attempts to limit spam and flooding the chat.

I do agree with others that perhaps using gameplay-driven bubbles with TextChatService:DisplayBubble may be more consistent for this usecase.
