Learn which words could get you banned on Roblox
Roblox has rolled out an update that allows swearing in specific 17+ games. However, this doesn’t mean you’re free to use any language you like without consequences. Here’s the essential info on how swearing works in 17+ Roblox games.
Is Cussing Allowed in Roblox Games?
Swearing is only permitted in certain 17+ Experiences that have enabled strong language. It cannot be aimed at other users or used for bullying or harassment. Feel free to express yourself with strong language, but only in appropriate situations, like after a jump scare.
How to Use Strong Language Safely
Is Cussing Allowed in Roblox 17+ Games?
Strong language is permitted only under certain conditions. In a 17+ experience that has activated strong language, swearing is okay as long as it’s not aimed at other players. For instance, it's fine to swear after falling off the map. However, using profanity to bully or harass other players is strictly prohibited.
- In all non-17+ experiences, swearing is not allowed and could result in a ban.

Go to the Settings page. You can access it by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
