The Problem

You type a completely normal image prompt in Midjourney, and it gets rejected with:

This prompt may violate guidelines

Even when the description seems totally harmless to you.

The Cause

Midjourney uses an automated word filter that blocks any prompt containing a word from its restricted list — even if that word is used in a completely innocent context. It can also flag certain public figures or ambiguous terms.

The Fix

  1. Re-read your prompt for any word that could be misread as violent, sexual, or otherwise sensitive.
  2. Swap the flagged word for a synonym (e.g. "shooting star" can trigger it — try "falling star" instead).
  3. Remove real people's names or copyrighted character names.
  4. Simplify the prompt into shorter, clearer phrases.
  5. Check the official guidelines at docs.midjourney.com before retrying.
  6. If you believe the block is a false positive, reach out via the official Midjourney Discord support.
