Would I get a warning/ban for this?

Hello developers, I am creating a game where you write words that start with a specific letter, and the player with most completed and non-repeated words will win the round (Which is a remake of a real-life game that you usually do in notebooks), since one of the words is “Name” and “Last Name” (writing a name and last name that starts with the choosen letter), I am obviously going to filter because I don’t want swear words unless I just show the points earnt at the final of the round.

Would I get a punishment for this, even if the intention isn’t to put your real name? If yes then I’d like recommendations on what to replace because the selection of topics is small.

I’d recommend not having the “name” and “last name” option. Children may believe that this is their information, rather than something to enter in the game.

True. What should I change it to? I can’t find any useful word and I only have 6, the space of the words is small before it’s blurry pixels.

Rather do “Insert Random Name” or “Insert Random Last Name”, which will be more obvious to not put a real name. :slightly_smiling_face:

Maybe have a list of names to choose from that way people are not also putting inappropriate words in there.

I wouldn’t even have a random name option. Children will still put their real name there.

In my opinion at that point there is nothing you can do as you have tried to warn them.

Possibly he could tell them about the dangers of entering there real name. But otherwise it’s out of his hands

To be honest, I don’t really get why it’s not allowed anyways since Roblox is going to be adding a display name feature soon which children will just put their real name there.

Yes, probably. Why can’t you just simply omit that category?

You could add some text near the textbox saying not to put in your real name. If they do it anyway, it’s not your fault and it would be the same as them saying their name in chat. Make sure the text is obvious and easy to read.

I have also checked the community rules, and this is allowed because you’re not asking for their name, but rather a random name that they can think of.

You should also consider trying to increase the amount of space if possible.

Yep, and also it won’t be easy to put your real name since the first digit will always have to be the chosen letter, so you can’t put your real name unless the game chose a letter that fit a player’s real name. I also considered on not showing the answers, but rather the points earnt by the words.
