I’m probably missing something but are you trying to make your own text filter?

Just so you’re aware, roblox has a built in filter - A Guide to Filtering Text which you should use over your own implementation

no its just a script that REPLACES certain words with other characters yk
i need to KNOW if it’s a good script and if it fits the new terms \ apis of TEXTservice as has been announced

Its not my own filter
it just hashtags specific words which the built in filter does not
