Filtering text across servers

Hey,

I’ve run into a big issue while making a world invite system for Blox. Essentially, players can name their worlds, and invite other players to it, where the world name will show up in their world list.

I can’t filter this with FilterStringAsync, as both the world owner and other player have to be in the same server. What do I do?

FilterStringForBroadcast is your next best option. While you can’t target specific filtering, it still follows the TOS and works as if the player receiving it is <13.

Just make sure to filter every time the text is displayed, as the filter changes a lot.

Edit: To clarify, you can use the userId for this function. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear. It also turns out you can can pass userId to filterStringAsync to, which I didn’t know about. If you don’t want as aggressive filtering, that might be the route also.
