Text Filter Question

So ROBLOX’s text filter resource says games should filter any player-inputted text.

I’m working on something that allows users to type in a clock time using a numeric keypad and an AM/PM button. Do I need to filter this?

While it technically is player-inputted, there’s no way for anything inappropriate to be written with it because it’s just numbers and two buttons to concatenate either an “a” or “p” to the end for AM/PM. Only a maximum of four numbers can be typed in (since time only has four numbers in the HH:MM format).

Since nothing inappropriate can be inputted, it doesn’t need to be filtered.

This is perfectly fine. It’s only a concern if you can spell something inappropriate, violent, etc., which generally can’t be done with numbers.
