How do I prevent a hacker from inserting random text into my game?

I'm a new ROBLOX builder, and I found that whenever more than one player joins the game I developed, after about one minute, the screen turns gray and a rapid series of random phrases appear, eventually shutting down the game.

This is the first real game that I developed, and now it's unplayable. What can I do to see if the hacker has changed my scripting, and to prevent it from happening again?

If it helps, the game I'm talking about is called "Choice Minigames v1.8 [SAVING]."

Thank you very much for your help!

By enabling FilteringEnabled, you will be able to prevent this. Though if your game wasn't made with FE in mind, odds are, you'll have to redo somethings.

My ideas:Make a script to detect if any new scripts has been inserted into your game, then deletes it. Make a script that fixes the game like resetting all players and screens and reloading the map.

Filtering Enabled would be your best option for preventing the exploiting problems you have been dealing with. It also would be your best line of defense against other exploits. Here are the links Roblox gave after the released Filtering Enabled to help people convert their places to the new feature

I think the second and third links should help you the most. I posted them in the order Roblox did on their article
