Hello, everyone, my name is Martin and today I have created an amazing bot for the public that lets you utilize Roblox’s chat filter in your own Discord server! This is all possible through a bot that you can install on your server here: Discord
Features
Currently, RoFilter only uses Roblox chat filter, but it only replaces messages that the filter deemed inappropriate. It does this to prevent chat interruption, while still allowing the other parts of the appropriate message to go through.
Example:
Commands
There are two commands you can use RoFilter with currently:
r!help See various commands of this bot
r!setup Post this in any channel you want to add RoFilter to!
r!webhook-setup <1-5> Adds webhooks for the bot to use (the more, the higher capacity).
r!remove Post this in an active RoFilter channel, and it will remove the setup there.
RoFilter may receive continued development depending on the welcome and acceptance of it. I have tested it on a somewhat large server, and the tests were running smoothly!
Alternatives
Now, naturally, RoFilter and I don’t want to have a monopoly here, and that’s why @JoshRBX have made a decent alternative, called BetterCensoring, which you can invite here: https://censoring.xyz/
and read more about it here: https://top.gg/bot/678993339873493022
How does this filter the messages? Does it have a random account sitting in a Roblox server that is used to call FilterStringAsync on? Is this even allowed under the Roblox TOS?
Also, a desktop notification would show up before the message gets deleted and replaced with the filtered version, so it’s not really possible to filter a discord server effectively.
It uses multiple accounts to prevent downtime, and I have previously DMed DevRel a few months ago about this, but as they did not confirm/deny whether this was intentional or not, I decided for it to be allowed until said otherwise. I would not assume it would be prohibited to use, as it’s listed publicly on the API documentation.
If you have a notification on every message that pops up then I can’t really help with that! It deletes inappropriate messages and replaces them with the filtered version.
This might be the greatest thing out here on the Forums in 2020. The most loved thing on Earth-the Roblox chat filter-on Discord! Thank you for creating this. I hope many others come to use this.
I highly recommend this bot over other popular alternatives, such as Dyno and Mee6. While the filter for those bots work, the filter from this bot is way better because it filters everything.
Not going to lie, the Roblox Filter isn’t something to be proud of so I’d personally find this bot useless. Nice concept and all, but it’s kinda useless, no offense.
