- Fe - Roblox Chat Tags Remover Script File

Author: Technical Research Division, Game Security & Modding Date: April 18, 2026 Version: 1.0 Abstract Roblox’s chat system enforces player identity through chat tags —visual prefixes displayed before usernames (e.g., [ADMIN] , [DEV] , or group ranks). While tags serve moderation and recognition purposes, certain game environments require their suppression for immersive UI/UX design. However, due to FilteringEnabled (FE) architecture, client-side tag removal attempts are rejected by the server. This paper dissects the FE-compliant methodology for removing chat tags via a LocalScript that manipulates the TextChatService and intercepts OnIncomingMessage . We present a fully functional script, analyze its security limitations, and evaluate its practical applications in roleplay, cinematics, and UI-cluttered scenarios.

-- Pattern: removes one or more bracketed tags at the start of the name -- Examples: "[ADMIN] John" -> "John", "[VIP][DEV] Sarah" -> "Sarah" local TAG_PATTERN = "^%[%w+%]%s*" -- matches "[TAG] " at beginning local MULTI_TAG_PATTERN = "^(%[%w+%]%s*)+" -- matches consecutive tags

Game developers and utility scripters need a reliable method to strip chat tags (e.g., ranks, badges, group names) from displayed messages without violating FE principles or requiring server-side privileges.

-- Edge case: if entire name was tags, return original as fallback if cleaned:match("^%s*$") then return rawName end -- Return the (potentially) modified message return message
