Yes, Roblox username swear filter was broken for a while on March 24, 2022. What happened in this situation and what features were disabled during this time? How does it affect the accounts – do they get banned?

Roblox’s main demographic is kids and teens (young users), so the company tries to keep things clean in games. They do this through chat filtering, age verification in spatial voice chat, and also by making sure no one uses inappropriate words in their username when creating an account.

On March 24, 2022, players noticed for a short period of time that Roblox’s swear filter was broken. You could change your username or create accounts with non-family-friendly words in them. Shortly after, the experiences were filled with players with such usernames. Roblox immediately blocked the option to create new accounts in this situation, which ultimately affected players who wanted to create a new account with a suitable username.

Normally if you were to change your name to something inappropriate you would see a message saying "Username not suitable for Roblox" as all usernames are moderated. But sometimes things can go wrong and for Roblox it was this username bypass bug which was fixed pretty quickly.
