When you tested with Roblox’s filter, were you in team create? Just wondering. You could take inspiration from how Collaborative Notes filters things.
I tested in a private session. As far as I can remember, apparently I wasn’t allowed to speak with another person in that session, even though I was the only one. So I just gave up from there, and moved on.
Well, like I said, you could take a look at how Collaborative Notes filters things. When looking at it’s code, it appears to only filter messages in Team Create.
Well I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, we’re stuck with this custom system. Thanks for the feedback!

You can filter it using a HTTP request to PurgoMalum which filters many swears out. If it errors, do not send the message.
The table thing shouldn’t be against the rules though…
Alright! I’ll be waiting around for that edit then!
I wont be able to add this as it defeats the purpose of a quick messaging system. It would take way too long to reply to something after someone else speaks. So I wont be able to really add an official Roblox filter right now. This is the best I can do for now.
Update v0.2.2 - RichText Support
That’s right! You can use RichText formatting now. Go ahead and bold every single message now, and give it a fancy font! You wont be able to scale messages however due to how the UI was designed to properly scale without text going off the screen.
Do you all like my extremely frequent updates? This poll will be used for absolutely nothing by the way. I’m just updating what I can every single day.
- Yes, I like extreme updates.
- No, you’re too fast.

Update Bugfix v0.2.3 - Filtering System
The filtering system was filtering out words that didn’t need to be tagged out. If it contained a bad word somewhere in the message, that would get filtered out. That has been resolved, and the filter has been strengthened to detect even more bypass attempts.
Update v0.2.5 - Chat Tab Navigator Unread Indicators
When someone sends a message, and you’re one another tab, there will be a little dot on the left of the text on the navigator buttons above. Now you shouldn’t miss out on messages if your Team Chat: Revived plugin is open.
New Update Incoming!
I’m working on a pretty big update called “Custom Chat Tabs”. Take a look at the creation wizard! I’m almost done, it may be released tomorrow.

Can you quote/link the ToS section that highlights this? And does it mention “Studio” exactly? In-experience systems must use FilterService, but I don’t think ToS says anything about Plugins.

You’re correct, they don’t say anything specifically about plugins or studio. It could technically fall under bypassing the filter (this can be done with textlabels, so if it IS enforced it is a very stupid rule for this to be in studio.)
I’m just warning that I’ve seen it somewhere that you cannot replace Roblox’s chat filter with your own.
Unrelated rule, but I believe this still applies to plugins as it allows users to directly (and privately?) chat with eachother. (which again, stupid, cause textlabel)
Conspiracy territory, but I believe a huge part of the reason that team chat was removed was to prevent <13 users from using it. (again again, textlabel) Perhaps it wasn’t compatible with parental controls, or some other reason. It wouldn’t make any sense for them to remove it entirely just because it was bad.
That or it was just that bad and I’m overthinking it, but it would be in line with the changes they were making to prevent <13 users from chatting.
Why not add a detection for <13 users utilizing team chat? Maybe it’s something else conflicting that had led to its full on deletion and deprecation.

That’s my question, maybe it was using something legacy or something? Not like I know the engineering process.
It felt kinda random IMO but that reason was very in-line with recent changes. All of the other questions lead to more questions.
Do they want to replace it? (then why not finish the replacement/make it a beta before removal?)
Do they want more people to use Guilded? (why not list it as an alternative?)

Yeah no idea. It’s pretty odd that they’d do this so suddenly without any other proper alternatives. Hopefully we get something better soon and quickly. For now, I’m literally using my own plugin lol.

Upon further inspection, I seem to be right. Which is AGAIN, stupid, because TEXTLABELS…
This likely means the plugin is against some sort of rule if it does not have the proper filtering/parental controls stuff.
"Team Chat is being removed from Studio on January 30th, 2025
In keeping with our effort to drive safe chat on the platform, we’re removing support for Team Chat from Studio by January 30th, 2025, as it does not integrate with parental controls. We believe that creator team communication within Studio will be better served by the ability to annotate and add comments directly within the workspace. (intrusive + textlabels) We plan to enable annotation and comments early next year.
Thank you, and let us know if you have any more questions."
But why doesn’t it integrate with parental controls is my question? Why not just update it? Pretty confusing I must say. Left in the dark to sit and wait for “better” Roblox Studio features. Not sure if they will be good or not, but you know what Roblox does sometimes.

I don’t think TextChatService nor PolicyService APIs can be called from a Plugin, as Plugins don’t run at runtime. So this rule can’t really be applied to Plugins.
Team Chat was removed due to it not being able to be integrated by Parental Controls. This is the stupidest decision I’ve ever seen here because like you’ve said… TextLabels. It’s not that hard to write anything you want on the Screen lol.
