Increase in chat filter bypassing

Bug Reports Roblox Application and Website Bugs

#1

Since the forced migration to TextChatService, I have seen a sharp increase of players in my game bypassing the chat filter, posting racial slurs and any other profanities they can.

I have no idea how they are doing it, but I have plenty of screenshots of players doing it and will provide them in private to staff.

Here are my issues in dealing with these players:

  1. The Ban API does a bad job of detecting and banning alt accounts.

  2. Writing a script to detect these words and auto kick/ban the player could result in ROBLOX moderation on the game, due to having to write these profanities in the script (which would only be viewable server side, and unviewable by the client).

Expected behavior

The chat to filter profanity & racial slurs.

I believe so, they are also using special fonts/characters. Doesn’t seem to be fixed
