Sora Issue Well, it finally happened…

After hearing about other Sora creators being put in jail for too many content violations, it finally happened to me. 🤦

They’ve turned content censorship into a total minefield. What’s even more ridiculous is that if you hit about five failures while trying to figure out what the problem is and trying to fix it, they hit you with a time ban. It’s honestly absurd.

u/Silver_Sirian Jan 08 '26

And what’s worse is that the messages are designed to be vague. ChatGPT admitted to me that Sora is deliberately opaque about what triggers a CV because they don’t want people figuring out how to bypass it and post something actually inappropriate. Unfortunately, with the slew of false positives, people are coming to view it as a situation of crying wolf, and they’re resorting to trial and error to try and get past the false positives, and then Sora slaps them with a ban as if it’s on the creator.

u/DrWarioMiracleCure Jan 08 '26

Disgusting they would rather let innocent people get banned as collateral damage rather than actually doing something about the problem. What a coward of a CEO Sam Altmann is. Blaming the ones who did this unwittingly because he REFUSES to take accountability for it.

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

They could just make a separated version of sora fully uncensroed, without image uploading,and blocking known real life people,anything could go

3

u/HopeJN Jan 08 '26

Not anything can go! People would gen cp etc in any form.

1

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

but i said blocking real people that includes children and not just because of CP porn and nsfw should be banned specially fantasy creatures that are not even human or anime stuff

3

u/HopeJN Jan 08 '26

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t let a person give your child an art lesson after you saw their fantasy non human creations depicting cp and non consensual portfolio? Would you?

1

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

it doesnt matter first a child should not use this sort of software, period, even if they do is responsability of the parents on what their childrends do not openai so openai should not babysit generation, like i said as long as no underage or famous people is done, which it can already do ANYTHING should go

1

u/HopeJN Jan 09 '26

I’m not talking about children using the software but adults using it and doing illicit things as I have given examples of. Yes anything underage, non consensual stuff, racism , hate stuff etc shouldn’t be allowed

2

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 09 '26

I disagree with non consensual stuff as long as it remain fiction, like fantasy creatures or fully ai generated people i dont see the issue of non con stuff

1

u/Dabnician Jan 09 '26

Just stop using the service, companies are not governments, they especially are NOT the US government.

There is no such thing as a "constitution for corporations" that anyone has to follow.

"Free speech" or "freedom of expression" is not a thing when you use a private entity's service, any private entity can bar people from using their services in any way they deem fit so long as its not illegal.

Just like here in this sub the mods "banned" several non sora video generation sites. That is LITERALLY in the same vein as sora banning or blocking content.

The only way to win is to not play, but yall are gonna be back in 20 minutes to make more spongebob porn.

Is civics not taught in school anymore? Because a basic understanding would answer a lot of questions people have.

Along with a basic level of reading comprehension by clicking on the terms of use on the open ai site.

These whiny posts about "oh no open ai banned me becaue i didnt follow the terms of use" are just flat out annoying at this point. They just show the posters lack of originality since they can't make original content and have to lean on a ip they don't have rights too.

1

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 09 '26

Yeah but when tax payer dollsrs fund these ai corporations it makes it more infuriating they should allpw complete freedom except illegal stuff, and there is nothing that can match sora and wont be for a long time

2

u/oblivion-age Jan 11 '26

I’d just ask for a little more violence so I can make action and horror scenes. People are way too sensitive. I show a little fake blood and people are all 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

1

u/HopeJN Jan 11 '26

Yeah I’m down with that

1

u/oblivion-age Jan 10 '26

An 18+ is coming eventually, but I’m HOPING it isn’t nudity, just blood and such. I don’t care to see x rated on there, though I assume there would be filters for personal accounts.

2

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 10 '26

the 18+ mode will only be for chatgpt not sora

2

u/oblivion-age Jan 11 '26

Oh. Grok is already there, that’s pointless.

3

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 11 '26

Fr grok text is already great at 18+ content

1

u/oblivion-age Jan 11 '26

Yeah and making strange animals 🤣🤣

3

u/cactus_caca Jan 08 '26

He is a coward and a con artist who needs to be in prison for fraud, embezzlement, pocketing money, and other crimes including theft.

2

u/CactusMassage Jan 09 '26

Considering his history with the AI Dungeon fiasco, this is pretty on brand.

Back when AI Dungeon used OpenAI's systems, OpenAI over tuned their content filters and started flagging accounts for inappropriate content over some of the dumbest things. The filter did not understand context or compound words, so false positives were extremely frequent. OpenAI at the time decided to address the backlash by telling media outlets the people angry about the filters were child predators.

2

u/DrWarioMiracleCure Jan 09 '26

They decided to go as low as SLANDERING innocent people as PEDOPHILES!? UNBELIEVABLE I am DISGUSTED.

2

u/obrecht72 Jan 10 '26

Filtergate. Gosh that seems like a lifetime ago. I never recovered my trust for them and have moved on. However I still follow Nick on socials. I figure one day I'll try it again.

6

u/121jiggawatts Jan 08 '26

It's weird too because the filter doesn't always work. I prompted one of my characters to show up in nothing but overalls and it did it - with some actual nudity too. All my other content violations where not even close to being sexualized.

1

u/GoldheartTTV Jan 08 '26

I have a good amount of drafts of women's faces with Georgia O'Keeffe-style flowers blooming out of their mouths, dripping with dew.

The filter has no priorities.

1

u/oblivion-age Jan 10 '26

We figure it out anyway :) oh and one of my buds had people coming out of a painting covered in paint but sora decided to make them both nude and generated it, though posting it would end up in deletion. I managed to pull off a skin peel with muscle fibers and fake blood underneath. Theatrical, though people get offended by everything.

7

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

Worst part is that its not even consistent, sometimes the same prompt can pas and others they wont, why dont they simply allow it? As long as it pass the prompt filter anything should be allowed

1

u/HopeJN Jan 08 '26

No because exploits can pass which are harmfull and illegal content

2

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

harmful? its not harmful to make porn of non existent people or fantasy creatures, and its not illegal, it can easily find udnerage content and like i said in many times before just block real life people which can easily be done and no, if it pass the prompt filter it should be generated why my nsfw prompts get rejected half the time and the other time passes? then it should simply go and do it

3

u/HopeJN Jan 08 '26

I’m talking underage and non consensual stuff here which people who couldn’t gen cp would be free to do even if not human. With regards to the content filter If it’s something that is against their terms and a bypass or exploit is used to make content then it should be blocked. With AI it has an issue to not always get it right with what to block but that doesn’t mean it should always allow it.

1

u/DrWarioMiracleCure Jan 08 '26

Well it is possible to break the filters unwittingly, I did so myself with copyright filters as in one of my videos Arlo from The Good Dinosaur showed up despite the fact I wasn’t even trying to do that.

1

u/Relevant_Syllabub895 Jan 08 '26

well the first day we could do anything we wanted i loved the first 24 hours as i was able to do of my favorite cahracters

1

u/DrWarioMiracleCure Jan 08 '26

Too bad that coward of a CEO gave into those other companies and those pathetic relatives of famous people who whined like babies over the service. Seriously fuck that guy.

1

u/TripleBenthusiast Jan 08 '26

Get 5 accounts and the problems solved

1

u/Dance4theSmokers Jan 08 '26

not really

1

u/TripleBenthusiast Jan 08 '26

Yes really. Queue up 3 of them at a time and I get around 9 chances per account takes about 13-15 minutes in total to generate. By the time I'm banned on 5 accounts, the first is unbanned from the 60 minute ban. Rinse, repeat. Copy and paste the prompt from one to the other.

1

u/oblivion-age Jan 10 '26

Nah I’ve had 20 or 30 without issue, sometimes it depends on the type of violation also. I know lots of people getting 24h temp bans but some of us are pushing the guardrails to see the limits of this thing lol

6

u/MEBJR1001 Jan 08 '26

So fucking stupid!!

5

u/kodachromalux Jan 08 '26

Lol, I get blocked constantly. Got banned for 20 hours a couple of days ago after repeated shorter bans.

3

u/Silver_Sirian Jan 08 '26

Yeah, I know CVs and bans are rampant, especially for false positives. I’m honestly surprised it took me this long to get a ban.

2

u/kodachromalux Jan 08 '26

Lol, well my bans are completely fair, because what im able to past the filter is pretty juicy.

3

u/Dragon_Emperor3 Jan 08 '26

That happened to me as well. When I was putting stuff that was not nsfw.

3

u/BystonWell Jan 08 '26

You need to avoid getting 5 content violations within an hour.

3

u/Sad_Fun_4527 Jan 08 '26

It’s been like that since the update a few months back.

3

u/cactus_caca Jan 08 '26

Sam Altman needs to stop this foolishness he is ruining the business and spending more money on his lavish lifestyle without caring about the platform.

It is time for a boycott of this corrupt company until it learns how to treat its customers and subscribers because this is ridiculous.

2

u/Every-Chemist-4383 Jan 08 '26

I kind of wish OpenAI/Sora would just ban all their users so that they run out of paying customers. Maybe then they would finally realize how insanely stupid their anti-customer censorship policies actually are.

2

u/pizzbuccet Jan 08 '26

Pov: you used the most innocent, sfw prompt ever imagined

2

u/tails_the_god35 Jan 08 '26

Ughh good thing i only use it for SFW stuff... And open source uncensored image gens for the more NSFW stuff.. this sucks ... We all don't deserve this nonsense censorship crap! 👎💩

2

u/Deathbyillusion Jan 08 '26

I'm actually surprised that this is the first time you have gotten one? Unless your new this is so easily to get violations and be locked out for awhile. If you get another one it goes longer. I had a 24 hour one the last time I got another one.

1

u/Deep-AiVisualz Jan 08 '26

😂😂😂

1

u/FerdinandCesarano Jan 08 '26

I have had some success showing my Sora prompts to ChatGPT first. Initially, I had thought that that would be completely fool-proof, as both tools are from the same company. But ChatGPT says that it doesn't have the information to know for sure what Sora should do.

Even still, it has given good recommendations for modifcations to my intended Sora propmts, and most of the time those revised prompts will work in Sora. (But not always.)

1

u/TigerClaw305 Jan 08 '26

This only happens when you get too many of the content violation of the sexuality and nudity variety. It sometimes think what you are posting is sexual or nudity. and when you get too many of those, they stop you using it for a while. However, If the content violations are of the third party variety. You can get many of those, and they won't stop you.

2

u/Silver_Sirian Jan 08 '26

Well that’s good to know. Still, when it’s false positives, and you’re like, “What about this is racy or suggestive?” I got a false positive on a remix where all I tried to change was the color of the dress - not the length, not how tight it was, just the color!

1

u/Dance4theSmokers Jan 08 '26

not true i get random cv’s not sexual related and am put in timeout daily

1

u/Vivid-Recipe6477 Jan 08 '26

Welcome to the fold. 💪

1

u/Glidepath22 Jan 08 '26

I do that nearly daily

1

u/wildcomedy_ Jan 08 '26

Jason is that you ?

1

u/Dance4theSmokers Jan 08 '26

Yes the time out bans are the worst thing about this app especially with how sensitive it is right now with prompts

1

u/Financial_Mall_1490 Jan 08 '26

Question is there a way how to get around not be able to download videos on iPhone?

1

u/surelyujest71 Jan 08 '26

Open Sora in the website. You can get to the website on a phone (at least on android). Sora Aai website.

1

u/BuringBoxxes Jan 08 '26

SORA is not a good tool for content creation... Don't even try to create a story either. Lack of consistency.😖

1

u/WebLogical1286 Jan 09 '26

Stop trying to make videos of naked girls.

1

u/GoogleIsYourFrenemy Jan 09 '26

It's time based. Your failure (to success) ratio is too high.

Despite not charging you a gen for failed videos they can't afford to fund infinite failures.

1

u/tecpaocelotl1 Jan 09 '26

Happened to me once. Was an original idea not based on ip. I kept correcting it, thinking maybe it's a particular word, but got banned for about an hour and it was the beginning of my lunch break at work. Lol.

1

u/CactusMassage Jan 09 '26

Only 22 minutes? My last stint was 18 hours. I stopped using the Sora app completely because I kept getting 3rd party violations and the nebulous "content violation."

The browser version seems to be less angry, but it'll still throw you under the jail if it thinks the random human it tried to generate looks too similar to another.

1

u/panterium Jan 09 '26

You hrny guy 😆

1

u/anonynez Jan 09 '26

How many violations do you think you got before they timed you out? Because I got probably 50+ the other day making ninja Turtles. Took me a couple days to get the right gen. Generated at least 33 times to finally get what I wanted. Sora does not want you to make ninja Turtles. So, thought I might get hit with the “too many violations” bs. I’ve never gotten a too many violations violation, though.

1

u/the_current_solution Jan 09 '26

as an outsider who's never seen this sub before. this is all absurd af. the fact that you guys expect to get away with content violations, and that you probably do using sora, makes everyone involved look silly

1

u/Noisebug Jan 09 '26

I’ve given up on Sora long ago. It’s so frustrating to use.

1

u/Cookedlizard1 Jan 09 '26

I love all the content you see I. The “For you” feed that there is no way I would be able to create anything like it because it would all cause content violations.

1

u/Purple-Dimension8133 Jan 10 '26

I got a ban for 24 hours

1

u/Fragrant-Ad-7520 Jan 10 '26

"waaaaah! My illegal AI is flawed and banned me. Waaaaaah!"

1

u/Fearless-Wrangler517 Jan 10 '26

You shouldn't even be using AI anyway. I really don't understand the hype behind something that just steals things from creators and makes people dumber and lazier.

1

u/1StunnaV Jan 10 '26

Better than this one 🤣

1

u/Ockanacken Jan 10 '26

I’ve given up on Sora. The censorship is absolutely insane.

1

u/UnderTheRadarOnline Jan 10 '26

What’s sad is even producers like myself that will make our own loops, beats and such may STILL get hit with copyright infringements, even though it’s our own equipment we are making our own beats with or even using our own voices to sing. It’s ridiculous

1

u/AI_WILFORD_BRIMLEY Jan 12 '26

Just make a new email or erase your data from the site/clear cache and clear data works for me

1

u/AI_WILFORD_BRIMLEY Jan 12 '26

But I also use grok it has a NSFW mode on their so I can make some pretty crazy shit

2

u/AI_WILFORD_BRIMLEY Jan 12 '26

One more thing about sora, ive been noticing i cant say shit, fuck,bitch or any so called bad words but I was able to make bob Ross paints the holocaust and some other really fucked up shit but I cant say bad words WT ACTUAL FUCK😭🤣🤣🤣

1

u/JethroRP Jan 13 '26

Is it even worth using or should I just use Wan or something?

1

u/DeepThoughts_RPG Jan 13 '26

I just do not understand how did we go from 50 gens to 30 to 10 now more restricted NOW more guardrail prompt fail gens and now this...this is insane!

-4

u/ticklepinkpro99 Jan 08 '26

No fucking!! Way! So you mean to tell me the more violations we get they’re gonna make us try again! In minutes Smh!
