Do I need to add a filter system?

I’ve been working on a game where you can place notes with text down and I was wondering if I needed to create a filter system by Roblox?

(If anyone could help with making it, that would be nice)

Yes. All text input by players that is visible to other players has to go through Roblox’s filtering system. To do this, you would use TextService:FilterStringAsync().

This would have to be done on the server, so use a RemoteEvent to execute the function itself.

Here is an article highlighting everything you need: https://create.roblox.com/docs/ui/text-filtering

Yes, of course! I may be wrong but you may also need to use TextChatService:CanUsersDirectChatAsync. Because in my view, it’s more of a way to chat and as some countries blocked Roblox chats, it’s best to have such a system implemented to not get into any trouble.
