Why does Roblox tag?

Tagging is applied as a filter and for age restriction rules. If Roblox is tagging everything, it could be because Roblox identifies you as underage. The age restriction is for 12 years of age and under. Offensive words and other inappropriate actions, per Roblox, will also cause tags to appear in your chat box.
