Roblox policy on text filtering for player made scripts?

My experience allows users to make games inside of it with a replica of Roblox studio. Allowing users to run Luau scripts would vastly accelerate the process of creation. Currently we are using a block coding system, this allows great control over text filtering but comes with the caveat of being extremely slow and unfamiliar to write in.

Allowing Luau scripts while following Roblox’s filtering guidelines comes with several roadblocks however. A Luau script of more than a line or two will simply never pass the Roblox filter. Even if the original text is filtered, there are also various easy ways to get unfiltered text with string methods and concatenation.

I’ve looked through the Roblox terms of use and found nothing particularly involving this. The new scripting capabilities beta suggests that there is some kind of exception for user made scripts, but this contradicts how I’ve seen several popular script builder games being put under review in the past.

Are there any rules regarding this?

Script builder games are similar to building games and face the same problem of inappropriate builds / text that is pretty much impossible to prevent and moderate automatically. If your game doesn’t make enough money it will be put under review due to this.
