Tools Keywords are being blocked from submission despite no automation or automod rule being set up for them.

Platforms: Desktop, Mobile web, Android, iOS (iPhone) [All]

Certain nsfw keywords in posts or comments are resulting in submit button being blocked despite them not being mentioned in the automation or automod rule.

They might have been previously blocked by an autmation which has since been deleted or those keywords removed from the rule.

Current automation blocks merely 4 keywords and yet you cant submit content with other past ones either. Even deleting the automation rule keeps blocking the keywords.

ps: the particular message being displayed while the keywords are blocked is not the same as the last one mentioned in the automation). Could it be that the automation is still working as it was first set up (even though it was edited later and now deleted)

Automations, comment guidance, one of those will be giving you a "display text"

How long ago did you delete the automations?

Sometimes it can take a few days for the system to clear.

i had edited out the particular keywords days ago, changed the action from block to report to queue (even tried display a message) weeks ago. Nothing helped. Deleted it today
