Hello DevForum! (Custom Chat System)

This really makes it seem like this was made for the sole purpose of bypassing the new age verification update, as it heavily implies it.

@RickWasAlreadyTaken

you wrote those first sentences in your post body makes it seem like it is not implemented correctly.

@RickWasAlreadyTaken

It’s not “just because [you’re] resorting to making [your] own Chat UI”, it’s because of that and how heavily implied it was that this was to bypass the new age verification in your post body. To any normal person, this looks like yet another TOS-violating chat bypass.

You’d think it’d be pretty obvious to notice, considering how most Developers are going against this update. Even though as much as I absolutely hate this change, I’m not that rebellious & stupid enough to severely break the ToS as much as I want to. I might push the limits sure, but that overall responsibility falls on me. I’m aware of the consequences. There’s also a reason why I don’t have it in a random public place open for anyone to try.

@RickWasAlreadyTaken

And the fact that none of these “proper usage methods” were shown off anywhere in your example video or had any mentions in the post body aren’t helping as it makes it seem like you just made that up on the spot to cover your back.

As I stated earlier,

@Jackscarlett

I already have another system setup for any users that try to chat without Age Verification, will just have their local custom chat disabled; and of course there’s more I have to advance with making it proper, but this is just a starting point on what I got so far.

• Player1 is ID Verified, while
• Player2 is not
  • Player1 attempts to PM Player2, but is unable due to Player2 not having its Age Verified.
  • Player2 also cannot view any message being sent public or in PM’s, only System Messages.

Now that I have this system fully setup, I can safely say that this Chat System (HOPEFULLY) now abides with the ToS. It goes through mostly every TextChatService method (CanUserChatAsync / CanUsersChatAsync), alongside of course filtering the text via FilterStringAsync

What I’m questioning though is why you have to lash out at me so suddenly if I already mentioned that I would have an age verification system implemented; cause nothing’s gonna change if I already know about this horrid update that’s probably gonna last for whoever knows how long.

@RickWasAlreadyTaken

If this really is just because you thought the original was lacking in functionality, then I’m sorry for this misunderstanding, but as it stands, all it seems like this is is a bypass for the age verification update with a few bonus features.

I originally made this for 3 reasons:

• A way to further improve on my UI & Scripting work as a Developer
• Easy Accessibility & trying experimental features that the Default Chat System normally wouldn’t have
• Since the Age Check requirement, seeing how far you can push the limit with a Custom Chat System before it’s on the risk of removal (Since ROBLOX themselves is being stubborn on how they want us to approach this situation)

I’m not gonna further this discussion anymore cause we’re straying off topic here (Being in Help and Feedback > Creations Feedback) as I wanted to showcase this as a neat idea. If you want to continue this in PM’s then feel free to.
