I am making a game similar to Pastebin that uses a single datastore. individuals will be able to save various types of data to keys, from standard strings to audio to game ID’s. All string data will be filtered, but I don’t know if I need to filter keys.
Keys are used to retrieve and access data, and a person has to enter a key to get any data.
Any text the players see needs to be filtered. If they don’t see it, it doesn’t matter.
They do see it, but they have to enter it.
I’d say the safest method would be to filter the key, and if it contains the filter character (#) then it informs the player their text is filtered and can’t be used, letting them try to make another key. Seems like the easiest solution.
What @iltria said is the best idea.
