How do I fix this?

local textService = game:GetService("TextService")

game.ReplicatedStorage.FilterText.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, text)

pcall(function() 

    print(textService:FilterStringAsync(text, player.UserId)) 

end)

end)

FilterStringAsync

TextFilterResults is a better way to get filtered strings. A TextFilterResult has 3 main methods.

GetChatForUserAsync is a method that filters a string that is intended to display for a certain user.

This is best used for private chats.

GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync is a method that filters a string that is shown to everyone in a non-chat context.

This is best used for public signs (such as naming a restaurant, or giving yourself another nickname)

GetNonChatStringForUserAsync is a method that filters a string that is shown to a certain user in a non-chat context.

This is best used for private signs (signs, like mentioned above, that is only shown to that one user)
