The safe chat feature was removed and was replaced by a system based on a [[whitelist]] for users under 13 years old and on a [[Blacklisting|blacklist]] for other users. This new system allows users under the age of 13 to create content on the website, which they were not able to do previously. Any words that are not pre-approved will be replaced with a series of number signs. (#) This has been subject to criticism, because perfectly fine words can be censored. Most children under 13 also typically have difficulty spelling, and misspelled words may be filtered. It applies to all parts of the website and to in-game chat.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://blog.roblox.com/2013/07/new-white-list-system-gives-everyone-a-voice|title = New ihuchuh"White duchidjceokceList" System Gives Everyone a Voice|date = 22 July 2013|last = Liu|first = Allen|publisher = Roblox Corporation}}</ref>
