My friend said he was gonna quit Roblox, and I tried to reply through Roblox asking him why. I specifically said:

What? "Why would you quit?"

which got censored with hashtags. I found this a bit odd, so I messaged some other people and those messages got censored as well. (It was just simple things like Hi, Hello, etc.) I was a bit confused (Obviously).

Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I recall a time where the Roblox filters threw a big tantrum and decided to tag every single message no matter what you said. This is what might be happening to you.

  • Same here. Roblox decided to censor all my "u"s in my messages.

Roblox complies with COPPA so has to filter out inappropriate text (toxic language as well as information regarding contact details, impersonation, dating and many others).

The filter has different settings based on the age (<13 or 13+) and other settings (e.g. chat with friends only, no chat, chat with everyone) of your profile and the profile with whom you are talking, but the filter is known to be overprotective and block some normal messages.

You can check the Roblox community rules in the help center article Roblox Community Standards.

And if there are certain words/texts that you think should not be filtered, then please raise this issue with Roblox Support.
