Other online games I have played used a whitelist filter (you're ONLY allowed to say words they have pre-approved) versus ROBLOX's blacklist filter (only words identified by the ROBLOX moderation as bad are filtered), but doesn't ROBLOX use a whitelist filter for 12- players?

Yes they do. It really makes things difficult though, especially if you're talking to someone who messes up a lot.

And the blacklist seems to be all over the place. For example, in the wrestling fed I'm in, when the referee counts they say ":m [Number Here]!". ":m 1!" and ":m 2!" always come out perfectly fine but ":m 3!" always comes out as "####".

We all know what it is obviously, but it's still pretty annoying.

''P.S. While I was writing this, I came across the old blacklist from 2009. I've tried to look through some files myself and find a newer one, but I assume they've either hidden it inside the .exe now or it's been moved somewhere else.''

EDIT: The file is in the same place, it's just encrypted/encoded apparently.
