Hello Developers

The safety of the community continues to be one of our top priorities. We are grateful for the work developers have been putting into their games and experiences to protect our users’ safety and privacy. With your help, we believe that we can build a better, safer platform for all players.

We’d like to turn our attention to the future of Filtering Enabled (FE), which will help us further evolve our community safety standards. While FE has always been a strongly encouraged practice, today we are communicating how we will be taking steps to implement its use across the platform.

Over the next couple of months, we will begin instituting a new policy that will restrict discovery of non filtering enabled content for certain young age groups. We ask that you please consider acting now—if you haven’t already—to evaluate whether your game(s) needs development to be Filtering Enabled. Going forward, non-FE games will be restricted to older audiences. If your current target audience includes younger players, we encourage you to begin implementing FE now. To help better understand your games audience, Roblox will be releasing new tools that will allow developers to better track the age group and spending habits of your users.

In order to better community knowledge of FE and the required development practices, we have released new wiki articles explaining the technology. This includes information on Developing with FE, Converting old places to FE, and an explanation of Remote Events and Functions. If you still have questions please post them to the soon to be created FE Support category in the developer forums. This section will be visible to all users when it goes live within the next few weeks.

While we work towards our platform goals, we hope to ensure all developers have the resources to thrive. In the coming weeks we plan to release a detailed post outlining what changes are coming and when. This post is designed to give advanced notice for users who will need to make changes to their existing projects or may be starting new projects.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
