If you’ve ever crafted the perfect mass message or spicy caption, hit send, and then got smacked by a crapload of asterisks for no apparent reason, congrats… you’ve just crossed paths with the banned words list. LoyalFans, like many platforms in the adult space, uses moderation filters that will censor or block certain content that use words that go against the Terms of Service (TOS). It’s not exactly sexy, but it’s important to understand if you want your content to actually reach fans.
What even is a “banned word”?
Banned words are terms that get censored by the platform because of legal concerns, payment processor rules, or compliance policies. Some are obvious. Anything illegal, non-consensual, or underage-related is a hard no. But others are sneakier. Words like “CashApp,” “meetups,” or even certain body part references can trigger a censor.
Keep a list of banned words
Since banned words show up as asterisks, it can be easy to miss them until a fan points it out and asks what you said. To save yourself the headache, always double-check your copy before posting.
Keep a personal list of banned words that have caused you issues before, and definitely bookmark one of the many free online banned word lists or checkers that let you paste in a message and check for risky terms. It’s a quick step that save a lot of confusion, especially when writing mass messages, video store descriptions, or feed posts.
How to dodge the filter without killing your vibe
- Skip explicit terms in mass messages. Use softer or coded language. Save the really spicy stuff for locked content or customs. For instance, use step-mommy instead of mommy play.
- Reword sensitive ideas. Instead of “meetups,” say “no in-person content.” Instead of “CashApp,” refer to “tip options” or “support links.”
- Check your message if it sends weird. Asterisks mean something got flagged. Unsend and reword the message or, if it will let you, edit to replace the censored word.
- Keep a personal no-go list. If a word gets flagged once, make note of it so you don’t keep fighting the same battle.
Banned words are annoying, yes. But they exist to keep the platform compliant and operational so you can keep getting paid. Learn the patterns, get creative with your phrasing, and always double-check messages before hitting send. A little censorship work upfront saves a lot of confusion (and lost tips) later.
