Non-Global Filtered Word List

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

A user, Macaw, suggests introducing a non-global filtered word list feature, which would allow for different filtering rules in different categories. This would be useful for various scenarios, such as having more relaxed or stricter language rules in specific categories, or allowing certain words to be used in specific contexts. However, anon89147131 partially disagrees, suggesting that community owners can already customize their filtering needs through plugins or hired developers, but acknowledges that the feature would be useful for restricting or trusting certain trust levels.

You’re able to filter out words, whether they be naughty or not- this feature is great. However, this blacklist is forum-wide, and I’d like the option to have a non-global filtered word list. With that, let me list out some use-cases:

  1. A restricted, private category has more lax swearing rules
  2. A public category has tight swearing rules
  3. Words that aren’t necessarily swear words that are censored only in specific areas- in particular, [ROBLOXCRITICAL] is a tag that used to be put in critical bug reports- alerting all staff with notifications- but shouldn’t be triggered when talking about the tag, say, in a meta category. It’s now been censored entirely for abuse- but the meta category should still be able to post the phrase.

I partially agree with this however you can edit and suit what fits your community, it would be useless for this to be introduced publicly instead you can go to Marketplace and hire someone to do that as a plugin.

  • Looking at this from another view; yes, this would be very useful for many reasons restricting certain trust levels to certain things and trusting higher trust levels.
