Collaborate with Comments in Studio!

Your concern is that inappropriate comments will get leaked if team creators download the place files, correct?

Well, I have news for you:

  • Inappropriate scripts
  • Inappropriate instance names
  • Inappropriate decals
  • Inappropriate string values
  • Inappropriate attributes
  • Innapropriate models
  • Inappropriate sounds

Would all also be leaked. Most of these don’t have any kind of filtering whatsoever.

Filtering comments does precisely nothing if the filters can be bypassed through using a multitude of easy, unfiltered alternatives. This is an inarguable fact; filtering comments does nothing when you can type anything you want in instance names, in scripts, or in textlabels.

Couldn’t someone just create a custom implementation for these comments, omitting the text filter using billboards and text labels? Script contents aren’t filtered either. Filtering here is so easily bypassed and out-of-place that it just doesn’t make sense to have a filter, especially if this isn’t being displayed to anyone outside of studio.

?? Dude what ARE YOU ON ABOUT?? I’m talking about when people randomly leak AN ENTIRE GAME including everything using Download a copy of this place?? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO with what you said??
But, I do get your point about some people using hidden inappropriate stuff, though they can just screenshot and then make a twitter thread

That’s why a lot of people don’t use Team Create sometimes, they’d tell hired devs to work in a separate place and then send rbxm of their progress

I completely misunderstood your original reply :skull: my bad

I looked at your reply to a staffmember’s post and for some reason I saw a completely different message than what you were actually trying to say. I thought you were trying to argue in favor of filtering the comments.

So sorry for the misunderstanding lol, that risk is a valid reason to not use team create and I do hope ROBLOX allows us to disable that setting for TC members

I like downloading my group game just in case. The group owner should be able to toggle permissions for downloading for each role.

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t worry too much about people leaking a .rbxl file.

They don’t have any of the other things that make your game successful. They probably can’t do much with the code unless you have API keys in plain text.

Are there any plans to allow commenting within scripts? Being able to highlight some code & add comments to it could be very nice for code reviews.

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! This feature is something I’ve wanted for years and I can’t believe we finally have something like this! This will probably be one of my most used features. Thank you so much for making this!

I don’t see the point of a text filter, considering that TextLabels and Code Comments aren’t filtered at all. Nothing prevents a dev from writing whatever they want in those; why should other forms of collaborative communication in studio be filtered?

As a developer with a small team I’ve been waiting for this feature for ever and now that it’s here I will without a doubt be taking full advantage of it. Before I had to keep moving over to discord to type to my team now with this I can do it so much more efficiently.
Thank you, roblox for this amazing new feature coming!

funny joke lol. got me cracking up in my seat :rofl: :rofl:
in other words this feature is basically useless because of the garbage filtering system, nice :+1:

i did try it out in studio though, i think its a lot better than the old team chat, but the same time i would like to be able to say things like smoke (in the context of fog and stuff) without it getting completely censored out by roblox, same goes with other words and terms or really anything.

Also, to anyone that is using scripts or assets to communicate, make sure the place is private, if someone reports the place then moderators can ban you for having bad words in scripts or assets. I feel if a script has comments as bad words then it shouldn’t really be banned as no kids will be seeing the scripts unless hacking but oh well.

It is very easy to stop filtering. Even if they did filter instance names and scripts… they can’t filter 3D text. Man, too many ways to communicate on here.

(This place is not public, this text is just an example of how communication is impossible to filter, unless they also filter meshes lol)

I forgot to talk about the actual feature as almost all my posts were on the chat filtering not being needed.

When I first heard about it seemed really awesome! The fact you can attach comments to parts makes it very easy to identify which parts need to be changed without miscommunication. Being able to search through comments is also a really good idea! I have always wanted something like this so this is a step up!

I unfortunately do not have this yet so I could not test, but the idea sounds good! Good work!

Filtered, really? I can just make a billboard gui, because that’s all the annotation is. I’ve played with it 4 months ago
