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

It feels like it’s just getting worse—I’m barely able to get out a simple sentence without a long series of tagged messages.

Can confirm, noticed this especially when copy and pasting text from a document (i.e a training guide), and more so if the pasted content uses punctuation marks.

Very frustrating, especially when an account is set to 13 or even 17+.
How does Roblox expect to get taken seriously when this is such a big issue and has been for the past year or more, yet nothing is being done or communicated to us regarding a fix

@101strive I’ve noticed it as explained above, a lot with copy and pasting into the chat with punctuation marks. When they are removed tagging is about halved.
Simple words like “assessment” also tag for “ass” I assume? If Roblox actually does use AI with attention context this shouldn’t be tagged or become an issue?

this is still an issue, heavily impacting player’s experience in my game. sometimes the chat is genuinely just full of hashtags and you literally cannot say anything

Seeing much more filtering recently as well in the past month. In most cases from a personal preceptive, it’s usually due to sending multiple messages within a very short timeframe (5 seconds or less) or copying and pasting text as @DesiredLion stated.

I also see the chat filter failing constantly and consistently, tagging absolutely everything as a safety measure for approximately 20-30 seconds before being able to send a simple message that won’t be instantly flagged/filtered by the chat filter.

The text chat is bordering on unusable. Not only do very innocuous phrases get filtered, I have recently been getting in-game warnings for messages that cannot be interpreted as breaking the rules in any way. What happened? Did Roblox migrate to a new system for text chat filtering? This is terrible.

dude, you dont know how annoying this is. i want to write some sort of sentence which is the most innocent one and i just cant, because of this chat filter. like you said, i get tags every max 10th sentence for like 5-7 typings. its this random. i swear, roblox is using ai for even chat! moderation got an overhaul with ai in around 2022. ever since it has been a downhill and i have seen so many people getting banned for absolutely the wrong reason. i dont have any hope and faith in the chat filter getting better. we might not get a fixed version, who knows! this is just chaotic.

Boosting this. We cannot go more than 1-2 messages without the hashtags starting for no reason. I am getting words like “yes” and “okay” censored for no reason and its impacting gameplay. I’ve added a screenshot of chatlogs for the game I am currently in; 90% of whats being tagged does not violate any rules and as you can see from timestamps, theyre happening back to back.

Also experiencing this, my chat messages are being filtered on mass even though none of them should be, this is still occuring after a while and has made communication near impossible through text.

Dude this update is INSANELY horrible! I CANNOT talk to anyone, I say “hi” and a server of a dozen people gets 1984’d out of existence for trying to have a conversation. At this point I’m just going to open up Steam to speak to people because this is ridiculous!

I and everyone I know is experiencing this problem too. We can barely type or chat anything in the chat without it being tagged constantly. We can’t have any meaningful conversation in the chat due to this. Simple harmless words and sentences get tagged for no reason. If one thing gets tagged, almost everything next to it will too.

Every Saturday, my community holds an in-game summit to bring in new members and discuss new ideas. Speakers from dozens of countries approach the podium to give a speech. For the past few weeks, every speech has been “##############” regardless of context…

No profanity is being spoken. No threats are being made. The AI censorship has more false positives than ever. It utterly disrupts how our players meet and socialize. Please dial back how oversensitive it is. Because even if the follow-up messages are a single word, it still tags them as if they were part of the previous sentence that it flagged.

Can you guys take a look at this? This is becoming a major problem in experience for multiple games. In my personal experience, I can get 1, 2, maybe 3 messages out before I get censored for awhile. For awhile I thought it was me, but as I’m reading this thread, it’s happening to a lot of people. It’s disrupting in-game communication. This is especially critical in games where you have to communicate like Among Us where you have to be able to talk. If you can’t communicate, you might lose the round.

Seems to have gotten better today? Played for two hours without anything major being filtered. Several other players experiencing this as well.

This happens to me all the freaking time lately it’s super annoying. Sometimes I won’t even say anything that was tagged previously, then go to say “Hello” or “Yes” and it gets tagged.

You don’t have to fight the filter. You just have to wait 20 seconds. This happens to me in every game, regardless of the chat system used, whether it’s Work At A Pizza Place or Jailbreak.
