'''WARNING: Not-so-kind language will be used in this "discussion starter", if you are sensitive to words that usually come with the word "intercourse" I suggest you turn away right now. It is okay to read it as long as you have parental guidance. No f-bombs, not to worry.'''

To start off, this wiki should not show what words are censored, they should just show what words are allowed, I doubt the list will get pass its 10,000k word mark. By the way wiki contributors, good luck finding every single word that will get censored on Roblox, you will be surprised by how the most mediocre of words get the censor hammer.

Before I get into how ludicrous the chat filter can be, any of you advocating the chat filter (especially those under 12) please understand that the reason why Roblox is going to such ridiculous lengths at upgrading their chat filter is because one of your distant friends decided to misuse "adult" terms and caught the attention of more mature players which (don't worry) didn't report you, but made your acts known on Instagram, but that's as far as I'm able to tell, Parents, don't spank them for using profanity, tell them why it is wrong and stop using it yourself. Devils beating devils up.

1. I have to admit, I am curious to why certain names are censored (ex: Josh, John etc.)

- Casually informing my friend David about his music being too loud has been very troublesome in         Roblox.

- If Roblox wanted to crack down on innocent kids spilling their personal information out so                    much, they might as well learn that if my name is Adam, there would be at least a thousand other         people witht the same name or surname.

- Oh, this isn't constructive critisism? Uh oh, I didn't a know company that started off like a LEGO-          based animation software can't follow the footsteps of Club Penguin which reminds players not to keep their account logged in unless its their parents' PC.

- What I'm even surprised is that the company that will go at any lengths to satisfy their users                  (including censoring names as per mentioned) can't remind their users in the chat bar not to tell          xXSniperAwesomeKidXx their house address and/or just put an autobot that automatically sends        reminders every few minutes or so in the chat. If the development team are too lazy finding new ways to make every "Robloxian" spend at least 1000 robux until they mature away for Roblox, they could just put a bar reminding users in the settings screen that literally covers the entire screen.

2. Numbers. Welp, no more reference numbers. Because Player67895 will get censored immediately.

- I have no idea how Roblox can refuse to make a campaign to teach children why telling their age out is dangerous. It is as if Roblox decided that the luring of children to harm was the reason why they could get so much ad revenue since whoever is exploiting the childrens' innocence spends his/her entire day just looming on the website searching for games where new targets can be found, conveniently being exposed to ads here and there.

- Something is telling me that numbers are not important in Roblox, and you are probably right, because when someone asks how many gold do you have or mocks you for getting #th place, oh wait...

- I propose most of the features of the filter be removed for players aged above 13, so that for once, someone can proudly say that they have been playing Roblox since they were #.

Dammit.

3. This is the last main point of this rant, in case you didn't know.

Allow me to use the words "Arstotzka", "T-34" and "T-XXXIV" as an example. (XXXIV is the roman      numeral for 34, I heard the USA is taking down those clocks because children can't read them... in      schools. Well played Team America. I guess I'm a special snowflake for knowing MDCXVI + no more than 3 of the same alphabets (yes this is roman numerals I have taught you here) now.

Arstotzka

Ah, Papers Please, what a heartbreaking game. By typing ARS TOT ZKA, you will find that "ARS" has been censored, thus the phrase being shown as "### TOT ZKA". By attempting to add to take away letters from the alphabet, you will more or less find some parts of the word previously uncensored censored, if you do that in a sentence, there goes most of the words in your sentence.

 T-34

I would like someone to enlighten me on why this is censored, will kids turn into Slav wannabes after looking at that word? Would a picture of a tank motivate them to establish communism?

I, for one,would say not.

Roman numerals

Yes, even roman numerals are not spared, I guess Roblox thought that kids would attempt to                reveal their age through Roman numerals? Exceptional. A daisy in a battlefield! What is more              interesting is that how any Roman numeral would spread the hashtag syndrome to other words if put into a sentence together. (I guess if Roblox turned Christian and you type "what the frick?" the sentence would come out as "### ### ######").

Okay I'm done. Here are some bonus facts:

- Winston Churchill alongside Joseph Stalin is censored.

- If you try to stylize your text, Roblox would censor the word nonetheless if it doesn't go pass the filter, even though you can't read it at all in the first place.

'''If you have read the entire rant and have finally got to the end, congratulations! I can't express how thankful am I that someone can spend his/her precious time to read ones slightly bitter experience with the Roblox chat filter.'''

'''Have a nice day! :)'''
