One way to prevent it is this:

if whateveryourtextboxis.Text == “whatever you dont want them to say” then
function to decline the name
end

All user text that is inputted must be put through the TextService for filtering. This should remove swears or inappropriate language. I hope this answers your question.

If you wish to remove spaces and other whitespace from text, replace all occurrences of the white space with nothing.

string.gsub(MESSAGE_HERE, " ", "")

Assuming you’ve already included text filtering, removing trailing/leading spaces can be done with this:

nicknameText = " somenamehere    "
local editText = string.gsub(nicknameText, '^%s*(.-)%s*$', '%1')
print(editText)

This will result in ‘somenamehere’ clearing spaces before and after while keeping spaces in between

@Free_Nugget In order to allow spaces you need to do this.

local name = yourtextbox.text

then you when making the nickname you have to put the text like this [name]

for example in my admin. I have to do the name function like this:

game.Players[KickedPlayerName]:Kick("You got kicked for: "…KickedPlayerReason)

Yes, you can filter before or after the edit and it will keep spaces for multiple word names.
