Everything is being censored on in-game chat.
It seems like the whitelist is active for everyone, this happened within the last couple minutes after my client updated.
Noticing this as well. I thought people were just messing with me at first 
Yeah, we’re aware and fixing.

About a day or so ago I was getting the opposite. The text filtering on GUI’s disappeared. Is this related?
Text is filtered on GUIs?! Well that’s a fantastic user experience for U13s…
Only if you call FilterStringForPlayerAsync on the content, otherwise it uses the blacklist.The whitelist is to stop the kiddies giving out personal information, not receiving it.
Oh right, I assumed @Arch_Mage meant text on guis was filtered by default. That would be pretty disastrous 
Are you still experiencing this right now? Can you provide more details?
Yep. Players can type anything into my custom chat TextBox and it won’t be filtered.
The box seen above is the chat bubble, FYI.
This is using FilterStringForPlayerAsync, right?
No, no, it’s just that in the past it would truncate the string by default if it had profanities.
e.g. Fk becomes F
Ok. I’m not super familiar with this - this never used a proper filtering system anyway.
If you’re implementing a custom chat, it’s a requirement to use FilterStringForPlayerAsync to filter content. Here’s a wiki page with some examples: Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
Alright, fair enough. I guess this is more efficient than the truncation anyways. I’ll implement this into my game ASAP
I think Becky mentioned a little bit ago they were looking into methods to make this easier for developers. They’re aware of those inconveniences.
