Weird. I know for a fact that people cannot create accounts containing “SubtotalAnt” in their name, but it doesn’t get censored.
This isn’t a bug, it’s Roblox’s filtering that filter “inappropriate” words.
This specific filter was most likely added if someone tried to type something inappropriate but made a typo. That’s the case with all usernames that can “relate to” or “rhyme” with inappropriate words or terms.
This is likely an intended feature (whether you like it or not). It’s been talked about in a ton of bug reports and feature requests and all of them come to the conclusion that it is an intended feature that will not be fixed. In this case, the OP would likely be better off asking for their specific username to be un-filtered rather than the filter to not be applied for search terms, as the latter likely will not happen.
I decided to bump this as this still needs fixing and searching for a censored username is impossible.
There were a few threads that all got locked with the following:
Locking because this is a heavily duplicated topic that has been discussed and thoroughly justified already.
Consider referring to this thread instead, and reading other linked threads to gain an understanding of why this filter is in place:
However, this referenced thread got locked too so there is no unlocked thread.
I don’t think we should be forced to use third-party extensions to use Roblox features, also I am using Firefox not a Chromium-based browser so this solution won’t help me.
my friend is having the same issue in roblox studio, when he trys adding me to a team create session all he gets is an infinite loading screen and my name doesnt pop up.
From what I see, the OP’s name and others are fixed now! But there are still some developers affected by this issue.
Therefore, can I get the names that are still affected, so I can share them internally?
Thank you! (use this @)
Edit: Taking in consideration there have been 2 months worth of Roblox updates that could fix the issue for others as well, I’m setting up a lock timer!
Feel free to file a new bug report or message me in case you didn’t have the chance to ping that you are still affected by this issue!
Hello. Thank you for informing. Also, does the filter report form work? I reported some filtering bugs there a few months ago, but it looks like they haven’t been fixed until now.
