Also, why is suicide not censored, and strings from .Chatted are uncensored?

I’m ok with strings from .Chatted remaining uncensored. Please don’t change this.
They need to update the Gui censors though.

I think guis need to stay uncensored and a method to filter a string of text should be added instead. Guis are essential for providing information and anything that impedes that without the developer’s consent is bad bad bad.
Chat bubbles should be filtered when they’re displayed, but .Chatted should continue sending the full text of the chat so that things like admin commands can continue being supported.

If your admin commands rely on words that should be filtered, something needs to change.

Don’t worry about it.
But seriously, I use this as a custom chat filter that replaces naughty words with nonsense.
Even hashing out swears would be impossible if Chatted was filtered.
Propose a solution that works for everyone - parents, kids, players, game developers, scripters, ROBLOX staff, lawyers, the universe.
Guis and Roblox Core Gui Chat follow the same filter rules.
Chatted does not get filtered (until its shown on a Gui of course)
Pretty simple really.
Currently Roblox Core Gui Chat is the best filter
We need this:
local FilteredString = string.filter("Blah string [s word]")
print(FilteredString) --Prints "Blah string ####"[quote] We need this:
local FilteredString = string.filter("Blah string [s word]")
print(FilteredString) --Prints "Blah string ####"
[/quote]
This could also be helpful, but if Guis properly filtered the messages already, then this might become redundant.
But I can think of a few uses.
Well, for me (this is at Reese), I don’t mind cuss words. Heck, I cuss every single day myself (I probably say the “F word” literally 10 times a day). So for me I don’t mind seeing cursing, but I can see why it’s censored, for the little kids (you can even ask Sparker22 of how much I cuss).
To contribute: If I were a parent, I wouldn’t want to have my kids subject to cursing until a certain age (then I wouldn’t really mind). If I were the kid, let’s be honest, every kid has probably heard a bad word, but it’s bad because kids mimic. My little brother, when he was around two he would say the “F word”. I can honestly say, as his bigger brother, I didn’t like that, but I couldn’t do a thing about it. As for developers on ROBLOX, of course we would LOVE ways to manipulate swearing in our own way, but obviously keeping the auto-censoring if nothing is done to block the vulgar language. Now TextLabels are just a nightmare, they are pretty easy to bypass.

Are you trying to tell me that the roblox filter ###### with ####### ### a ### and ####?
Some things get too censored… I mean I can barely understand the people when they chat on ROBLOX. I’m just like what the hell is that gibberish.
Instead of completely erasing swear words, I think it’d be neat if the filter would do this.
Types: “What the fuck are you doing?”
Says: “What the fudge are you doing?”
Types: “Why the hell would you destroy my creation???”
Says: “Why the heck would you destroy my creation???”
Types: “Holy Shit!”
Says: “Holy Chicken Feathers!”
There could even be a random factor added to this, lol.

You can do this easily with string.gsub

The problem with string.gsub is that it only checks words with spaces around them, so you could conceivably smash a bunch of swears together and it wouldn’t be censored.
i’m oddly okay with this.
