Roblox profanity for GUI elements

Hi everyone,

I’m currently developing a game that includes voice acting, where I occasionally use strong language but censor. I’m planning to add captions to match the voice lines, and I want to make sure I’m handling this appropriately and within Roblox’s community standards.

My main question is:
When including captions for censored voice lines, how much of the original word (if any) can be shown before it becomes inappropriate or violates Roblox’s guidelines? For example, is it acceptable to partially obscure the word (e.g., “sh—”) or should the entire word be replaced with something like “[bleep]”?

I’d really appreciate any clarification or best practices others have followed when dealing with this.

Thanks in advance!

Im not sure, but instead of sh–,js do it how Roblox does it(#), so it would be sh## maybe, or just don’t it at all

I believe roblox has its own filter function you can run?

If this answers your question, you can mark the thread as “answered” :slight_smile:

Thank you for the tip, however this does not answer my questions as I already know the words I need to censor, I’m just wondering how much of the said word would need to be censored to fall within Roblox’s moderation standards.

To not risk - moderate entire word, cuz some nitpicky AI can ocassionally understand that word and give ban.
