Videos:

  1. https://youtu.be/sWH_VQNcf9k - This one I do kind of say it excessively for no reason.

  2. https://youtu.be/Les_DkWmWg8 - This one I’m referring to the catalog item “Badass shades for badass individuals”.

Direct Links: None as it happens in any game with voice chat.

System Information: Intel Core i7-10510U

Expected behavior

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Behavior

  • Hop into game with Voice Chat enabled.
  • Unmute my microphone.
  • Say “Badass” and not receive a warning since it is not tagged in text chat.

I can get why it would give you a warning if you’re doing it excessively, but in the videos I did not use it excessively (well maybe except for the first one)

Actual Outcome

  • Hop into a game with Voice Chat enabled.
  • Unmute my mic.
  • Say “Badass”, and receive either a warning, or voice chat suspension.

The term ‘badass’ should be filtered on roblox, that is probably the reason why.

But there’s tons of items that have the name “badass” in it, and you can say it in text chat.

But you aren’t ment to… It’s a moderation glitch obviously.

The term “badass” is allowed on Roblox.

Just look at Badass Experiences for reference.

Hm, I understand why, but it can be used in 2 ways:

  1. Donkey
  2. Swear

How i saw it, the AI who moderates VC works as followed

If you say: “thats badass”, the AI will filter those words out.
So “thats” “bad” “ass” ← ( so ass gets flagged as bad)

Unrelated to my previous comment, this is the wrong place to post about this. Refer to this form to submit a request for filter adjustments.

You can also find the same link to the form above from an official post: About the Bug Reports category

I guess that makes sense. I was kind of thinking about that.

That’s for filter requesting if you want it unfiltered or filtered, but this is an issue with the AI moderation.

It’s reading “badass” as “bad” “as(s)”, as 2 separate words, and in text chat it’s not filtered.

(Kinda sure) Donkey is jackass. This is worse than badass, and filtered.

the Roblox filter doesn’t filter correctly sometimes (at least for me) so just don’t say bad words in the chat because Roblox is mostly a kids platform

Honestly I agree, I don’t know how it hasn’t been filtered out already.

And people think it’s okay just because everyone’s taking advantage of the lack of filtering on this particular word.

I remember when Roblox said “swearing is allowed” for voice chat and then backpedalled it big time :pensive:

Badass isn’t filtered purposefully as it’s a word that’s allowed on the platform. It simply means “cool!” “sick!” or “epic” and this shouldn’t change because of voice chat.

Badass and ass are two different things. There’s quite literally a verified group with it in the name and multiple UGC’s thst have been there since the start of the program from people like Reverse_Polarity.
