In short, the game will feature police and so we want to add callsigns (Like 3-596, 4-293, etc.) but there is an issue not with us but with how the platform obligates us to do things. We’d like to make it so players can set their own 4 digit callsign when joining the police team, but as roblox rules state, if player input is visible to the public it has to go through the text filter.
Now this is where issues arise, the filter hates numbers and 8 out of 10 times you will have “#-###” and “#####” on your police car, is there a practical workaround for this while still abiding by the roblox rules?
You can display text you have control over without the filter. But if the player is typing a message then you have to filter it. So things like a call sign that you generate for the player can be directly shown. However, if the player gets to choose their call sign and that call sign is displayed to other players, then it needs to go through the text filter.
Roblox doesn’t filter out numbers in the roleplay game Emergency Response: Liberty County. I believe they have a custom filter as it also doesn’t filter out some words compared to the Roblox filter, which also confuses me because won’t that also be considered breaking Roblox’s ToS?
