Is filtering required for a feedback system that sends messages to Discord?

Hello! This is just a quick question.

So in my game there is a feature where you can send feedback on the game which sends your message directly to discord using HttpService and I was wondering if I needed to put a filter or something.

Thank you!

I guess I’ll add a filter to the messages.

I don’t believe it is required. According to the article Aanggoodluck linked to, at time of writing, under “When to filter text”, we see this: “Any displayed text that a developer does not have explicit control over should be filtered.” I believe the word “displayed” is key here. The rest of the article seems to indicate that as well. If the text cannot be seen by anyone in the game, ever, under any circumstances, I don’t believe it needs to be filtered. To be extra safe, you can filter it if you want.

Of course, this is only my interpretation of the article. A mod or admin’s opinion would be helpful.
