The chat filter randomly censors messages, and after doing so censors every single message after it regardless of content.

For the past week or so, I have noticed that sometimes my chat message tags for no apparent reason, and afterwards tags every single other message, regardless of what I put in it. After it erroneously tags one message, it tags several more. It happens every five minutes or so when a chat message gets tagged for no apparent reason, I have to fight the filter to let me speak again.

Expected behavior

I expect it to not tag when I say something as innocent as “hello” solely because the message before it was also tagged.

Guessing the latter might entirely have to do with the former. IIRC Roblox uses AI with attention context to infer connections between your messages, which means if one message gets censored the rest may be interpreted as continuations and get censored aswell.

I also noticed this sudden change across games.

We love Roblox tags
STOP
:sob: FINALLY IT STOPPED TAGGING ME JAJSHSHWK

The tolerance is just way too low. At least crank it up for 13+ users. They’ve been treating us like little kids now.

I have also noticed this, it happens at random times.

I usually rejoin to fix this, but it might not always work.

You ever want to make a callout and then you get tagged for half a minute, losing what could’ve been essential to winning a match?
The new filter is an actual nightmare for any kind of speech faster than three message per minute. I hate it. Please revert this.

@Scrufflord thanks for the flag. Can you share your username and the actual chat lines you were trying to send?

I cannot give a single example, because it happens so often and at random. My username is the same as listed on the forums, Scrufflord.

this is still happening ALOT if you get 1 message tagged (even if its not supposed to, even ‘hi’ gets tagged), all of the messages you send next also get tagged no matter what the text is until you stop for a minute or two and then send again, only happens to the new chat not the older one (if games still have them)

Bumping this again. Still not fixed and seems to have gotten worse. Is roblox trying to use LLMs to filter the chat? Doesn’t work at all.

I have the same issues at random times. If some line gets filtered, i even can’t say “hello” after it. I need to wait several minutes and it’s getting fixed.

Also additional thing is chat filtering on 17+ games: I got filter warning for saying some alcohol name on a 17+ bar game.

Yep I’ve been experiencing this too. You say one line which doesn’t seem bad, but it gets filtered and Roblox filters pretty much everything you say after that for 20+ seconds. I pray that this gets sorted out soon.
