midjourney banned prompt detected
HeyBraza helps you spot the likely flagged word in your prompt so you can reword it and get past the moderator.
you hit enter and midjourney throws up 'banned prompt detected' or 'the ai moderator is unsure about this prompt' - even for something harmless. it's blocking a single word, not your whole idea, and blocked jobs don't cost you credits. here's how to find the trigger and reword around it.
short answer
'banned prompt' means one specific flagged word; 'ai moderator is unsure' means the phrasing as a whole reads risky. swap the suspect word for a softer synonym, and rebuild the prompt piece by piece if you can't tell which one it is.

- 1read the message - 'banned prompt' means a flagged word; 'ai moderator is unsure' means the overall phrasing looks risky.
- 2scan your prompt for words that can read as violent, gory, suggestive, or like a real person's name - those are the usual triggers.
- 3remove or swap the suspect word for a softer synonym (e.g. 'injured' instead of harsher terms) and resubmit.
- 4if a phrase keeps failing, rebuild the prompt one piece at a time to find exactly which word the moderator hates.
- 5keep it clean going forward - repeated blocked prompts can lead to a warning or suspension on your account.

downloadcommon questions
is there a list of midjourney's banned words?
no official public list - the filter changes often and even mild words get caught. the fastest fix is to reword the part that reads as violent, sexual, or like a named real person.
does a blocked prompt cost me anything?
no - blocked jobs don't use gpu time or credits. but repeated violations can get your account warned or suspended, so reword rather than retrying the same prompt.
is there a list of midjourney banned words?
midjourney doesn't publish one, and the filter judges phrasing as well as individual words. in practice the triggers are terms that read as gory, violent, sexual, or like a real person's name. rebuild the prompt one phrase at a time to find which part the moderator objects to.
