Common ban reasons
- Restricted words — Using banned terms in messages or posts
- Policy violations — Content that breaks the terms of service
- Multiple reports — Fans reporting your account
- Chargebacks — A high chargeback rate triggers a review
- Impersonation — Using AI content without disclosure
- Underage implications — Any content that suggests minors
Understanding restricted words
As of 2024-2025, over 200 specific words and phrases are known to be banned. OnlyFans doesn't publish an official list, but creators have mapped them out through trial and error.
What happens when you use them:
- In DMs: The message appears to send but never actually delivers
- In posts: Content may be removed automatically
- Repeated use: Account warning, suspension, or ban
Safe messaging practices
- Use euphemisms — Find creative language instead of explicit terms
- Test messages — Send to a trusted account first if you're unsure
- Stay updated — Join creator communities where banned word lists get shared
- Avoid promises — Don't promise specific acts in exchange for money
- Keep records — Screenshot important conversations
If you get suspended
- Don't panic — Many suspensions are temporary
- Submit an appeal — Provide context and a clear explanation
- Stay professional — Polite, calm appeals tend to work better
- Document everything — Keep records of all communication with support
- Figure out what triggered it — So you don't repeat the same mistake
