Now you've got youngsters, under the age of thirteen, using the filter system. What is that teaching? That it's okay to use foul language/mature content without being punished! I still see your 'threats' to ban people for 3-7 days, a max of 14, worst, besides permanent ban, and all I see is 'reminders,' or 'warnings.' What's the point? I have been "warned" many times, I admit, and I plan to change, but this has made me come to realize, ROBLOX needs to go through with promises, they've said that these situations will not be handled lightly. But guess what? They are handled lightly, in fact, even more lightly than you may think. I'm sure more than half of the ROBLOX population can remember somebody that they met on a game, and they really, REALLY hated them. Things were said, names were called, reminders were not given, wait, REMINDERS weren't given? Yep. It gets worse every month, the ROBLOX staff worry way too much about game improvements, that they don't care if people LEAVE ROBLOX because of how out of hand this is. I never knew Merely was an administrator at ROBLOX, because he joined the opponent on my clan's raid, and made nasty comments about the base, and our army, so it's not only the members of the website, it's also the members of the company.Please, ROBLOX, fix this, I am worried about the next generation of humans that play PC games, because they can act like 'jerks' on a "kid's" website. Please don't ignore this, admins, I want this to become a reality, ROBLOX back to kid-friendly. Not 13+

Btw no matter what you do some one will find a way around filters or whatever. ROBLOX needs more mods, not taking down the 13+ update. ok

It's the exact same as the "Under 13 Filter" system, except this one would actually, get kids the way they should be. Polite. Ignorant of bad words, not all knowing of them. And of course, not bratty, which fortunately, I don't see as much of.. (compared to the other two)Simplified version: The "Under 13 Filter" is the same thing that was posted on 10-22-2012 by ReeseMcBlox. "• Don’t Post Swearing..." he later says, "Attempts to disguise bad language or bypass the language filters will not be tolerated" Followed by this: "It’s a swear word even if it is $pe11ed f.u.n.n.y. or has some #$@% symbols in it."Yep. A moderator said not to use a filter, to bypass saying actual cuss words. Which is exactly what they did with the "Under 13 Filter."See what I mean? Mods must keep their promises on this topic. If you get rid of the words in ROBLOX chat code all-together, it will end 45% of arguments. I guarantee it.

Things could really get out of hand.

Spend less time fiddling with bricks and baseplates, and spend more time making sure people aren't at each other's throat. I have seen REALLY bad arguments with all versions of chat. Get a new chat. The current one isn't really different from 2008 and 09, it just looks different. Totally RECODE the chat. I hope you're listening, moderators, if this catches on, you'll need to do this. I can see many great things happening. Less arguments, less flames, less complaints, more money to ROBLOX, because people may actually come BACK, and refer new people, who could buy TBC, BC, or OBC. So many things can go right with this idea!
