Apparently a lot of people don’t realize that Roblox filter APIs dont run in studio, since you’d be able to then steal their private keys to CommunitySift. It only runs on Roblox servers.
I run it through their strictest filter, but it just returns the raw text. It behaves like the function @Sublivion jokingly posted.
Roblox filtering policy in regards to studio is a blank. All the documentation discusses in-game text, and they don’t even provide a way to filter studio text. They don’t even tell you that the APIs dont work, you have to figure it out or stumble on a Devforum thread about it.
I’ve done everything I can to protect myself from moderation action here.
I run it through their filter, as per their specifications. They don’t even say I have to do it in studio, and they also didn’t tell me that it won’t even work.
I then run it through my own rudimentary filter just so that main curses won’t go through.
I then specify in this post that it is not meant as a properly working version of their broken Team Create chat and that misuse is not my responsibility.
This way, I’m completely covered.
If they say this violates a policy (which it doesn’t, there just no policy at all here) then I can point to the source code and say I followed all the guidelines for text filtering, and then even added my own. If their filter doesn’t work, that’s not on my end. If they still try to claim I did some wrong, I can say it’s not a chat and I can’t be held responsible for people who voided their warranty due to misuse.
I better not lose devex eligibility for moderation action when all responsibility here falls on Roblox’s end.
Edit:
And let’s not forget the fact that this is a solution to something that shouldn’t be an issue. Why is their chat so useless that we are forced to write alternatives??
