Banned Words to Avoid on OnlyFans, Fansly, and ManyVids
Ready to start earning? Join thousands of creators on Slushy.
Every major creator platform uses automated systems to scan your posts, messages, captions, and bios for restricted words. Using the wrong term -- even accidentally -- can get your content flagged, your message blocked, or in serious cases, your account suspended or permanently banned.
The tricky part is that none of these platforms publish a complete, official list. The lists below have been compiled from creator experiences, platform documentation, and community testing. They are the most comprehensive guides available, but platforms update their filters regularly, so always stay current.
Why Platforms Restrict Certain Words
It is not about censorship for its own sake. Platforms restrict words because:
- Payment processor requirements -- Visa, Mastercard, and other payment networks have strict rules about what content they will process payments for. Platforms that violate these rules lose the ability to accept payments entirely.
- Legal compliance -- Certain content types are illegal, and even suggesting them through word use can create legal liability for the platform.
- Brand safety -- Platforms need to maintain relationships with payment processors, advertisers, and app stores.
This means even content that is perfectly legal to create can be flagged if you describe it using restricted terminology. The same content described with different words may be completely fine.
OnlyFans Restricted Words
OnlyFans has the most extensive known restricted word list -- over 200 terms that can trigger flags, block messages, or result in account action. Here is the complete list organized by category.

Fansly Restricted Words and Content Policies
Fansly has historically been more lenient than OnlyFans, but that has changed significantly. In June 2025, Fansly rolled out its largest policy update ever, expanding restrictions considerably.
Banned Content Categories
| Category | What Is Banned |
|---|---|
| Age-related | Any content involving or implying individuals under 18 -- immediate permanent ban |
| Animals | Anthropomorphic content (furry, kemono, scalie), bestiality, zoophilia |
| Violence | Blood, mutilation, sexual violence, coercion |
| Substances | Alcohol, cannabis, drugs, or any intoxicating substances in content |
| Non-consent | Any depiction of non-consensual activity |
| Public content | Outdoor recordings in streets, parks, stores, malls, balconies showing public areas |
| AI content | Chatbots for subscriber interaction, AI-generated media for engagement |
| Platform redirects | Monetizing access to Snapchat, Telegram, Instagram, or other platforms |
| Self-harm | Content glorifying self-harm, suicide, or dangerous activities |
Restricted Communication Terms
Fansly actively monitors messages between creators and subscribers for:
- BDSM language -- Terms like choking, coercion, and extreme practices
- Hypnosis and mind control references
- Family roleplay without the "Step-" prefix
- Underage character mentions of any kind
- Blackmail and extortion language
The Anthropomorphic Content Ban
One of Fansly's most significant recent changes was banning anthropomorphic content entirely. This includes:
- Full-body fursuits
- Kemono-style content
- Scalie content (reptile characters)
- Animal references in toy names
Fansly classified this as "simulated bestiality" at the request of their payment processing partners.
ManyVids Restricted Content
ManyVids allows explicit pornographic content but enforces restrictions driven by payment processor requirements. While ManyVids does not publish a specific banned words list, the following content types are prohibited or restricted.
Prohibited Content
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Underage content | Zero tolerance. Age verification required for all performers. |
| Non-consent | Any depiction of non-consensual acts |
| Animals | Bestiality or any animal involvement |
| Bodily fluids | Urine, feces, vomit in videos |
| Extreme violence | Blood play, real violence, extreme torture |
| Public exposure | Outdoor content must be filmed on private property with no unsuspecting public visible |
| Worn items | Recently banned the sale of worn garments |
Content That Requires Caution
ManyVids has tightened restrictions on various fetish content categories. While not fully banned, these may trigger review:
- Extreme BDSM content
- Certain roleplay scenarios
- Content that could be interpreted as involving prohibited categories even if it technically does not
Safe Alternatives and Workarounds
The goal is not to circumvent platform rules -- it is to describe your content accurately without triggering automated filters. Here are general strategies:
Rephrase, Do Not Evade
Platforms are sophisticated enough to catch common misspellings and letter substitutions (r@pe, ch0ke, etc.). Attempting to evade filters is riskier than simply using different language.
Use Descriptive Language Instead of Labels
Instead of naming a specific act, describe the experience or vibe:
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| Competitor platform names | "My other pages" or "my links" |
| Payment app names | "Tip me here on the platform" |
| BDSM-specific terms | "Spicy," "intense," "power play," "dominant/submissive dynamic" |
| Age-adjacent terms | Be specific with ages (always 18+), use "petite," "youthful energy" cautiously |
| Substance references | Avoid showing or mentioning any substances entirely |
Keep It in the Content, Not the Caption
Many platforms are stricter about text (captions, messages, bios) than about visual content. Content that might be fine as a video could get flagged if described with restricted words in the caption.
Platform-Specific Tips
- OnlyFans -- The most aggressive automated scanning. Test messages to yourself before sending mass messages. If a word gets blocked, rephrase.
- Fansly -- Monitors DMs between creators and subscribers. Be aware that private conversations are scanned, not just public posts.
- ManyVids -- Focuses more on visual content review than text scanning, but video titles and descriptions are still monitored.
What Happens When You Get Flagged
The consequences escalate with severity and frequency:
- Message blocked -- Your message simply does not send. The platform may or may not tell you why.
- Content removed -- A specific post or video is taken down. You may receive a warning.
- Account restriction -- Certain features are disabled (messaging, posting, or receiving payments).
- Temporary suspension -- Your account is frozen for review. This can last days to weeks.
- Permanent ban -- Your account is terminated. On most platforms, you get one appeal opportunity.
Staying Up to Date
Platform policies change frequently, especially when payment processors update their requirements. To stay current:
- Follow platform announcement channels -- OnlyFans, Fansly, and ManyVids all communicate policy changes through email and official social media
- Join creator communities -- Other creators are often the first to discover new restricted words when their content gets flagged
- Test before mass sending -- Before sending a PPV message to all your subscribers, send it to yourself first to check for blocked words
- Review your existing content -- When platforms add new restrictions, they sometimes retroactively flag older content. Periodically review your posts for newly restricted terms
