Growtopia features a chatting system that can be used to communicate with other users. It is displayed at the top of the page and is resizeable. When a player tries to say inappropriate language, all of the inappropriate words will be replaced with @#!? (or a combination of these symbols). You can remove this by un-checking the "filter inappropriate language" in the Parental Controls part of options. Options can be accessed by clicking the menu at the top right corner. However, it is recommended that younger players keep this option turned on.
Abusing the chat feature by spamming text quickly, swearing excessively, or using macros such as spam bots will result in a punishment like a ductape or a game ban depending on what you did.
There are a variety of commands that can be used in the chat, by entering a slash (/) followed by the command name. There are also several commands that cause your character to perform emotes until they move. These commands can also be seen at START. These commands are still executable even if there are additional letters following the original command. For example: /lovebug will still execute the command /love
The list of commands you can use are:
Command
Description
/? or /help
Lists all the available chat commands.
/msg
Searches for players that start with the said player name and sends a private message to the player, or if there are many, the first 3 matching names.
Appending a / to the player name specifies it as an exact search, which excludes usernames that have the player name, along with a few characters.
Excluding the message simply tells you the exact names of the people online starting with the player name specified. If you requested an exact search, it will determine if that username is online or not.
/r
Sends a message to the last person who private messaged you.

Says a message with /me replaced by the player's username, and the message surrounded by angle-brackets.

/kickall
This is the more powerful type of kick, but it takes a bit long to recharge afterwards. It moves everyone (except admins and the owner) to the White Door after a 5 second delay mechanism. Because it's so powerful, it has a cooldown every 10 minutes.
