Why does TextService FilterStringAsync filter numbers and random words?
That’s annoying.
Phone numbers, Home addresses, & more.
It’s mainly to protect kids.
It’s annoying but it’s probably legally required for Roblox to do this.
The Words “Hello” & “Hi” gets filtered sometimes too.
Why doesn’t the default chat system filter numbers then?
It uses the same functions you do.
The filtering isn’t a simple white/black list. Last I heard its a learning algorithm.
Time = better filtering

The Roblox filter filters numbers for users who have their age inputted under 13; for users ages over 13, numbers may filter, depending on how they’re used, or if the chat filter fails, on the occasion.
