Censored version of tracks played on custom station

[rapieranddagger]

Songs that were explicit / liked but are now being censored. All settings allow use of explicit songs. If songs are thumbed down it shows up on the thumbs down list with the explicit logo (red “E” in a box). This has been going on for many months. Rebuilding the station does not solve it. I don’t mind artist made radio edits but the censored songs are jarring to listen to when they drop words or try to blend sound to cover it. There are literally hundreds of songs this is happening on I am just reporting the ones right now as a sample. If I can not find a solution my next step is to find a different music streaming service.

• The device you are using to stream Pandora: Samsung Phone (via Android Audio or headphones), home PC, and Google Hubs and Nests.
• The name of the station where this occurred: Nick’s Car Mix (custom station)
• The name(s) of the artist(s): Dr. Dre, Eminem, Fort Minor
• The title(s) of the censored track(s): Forgot About Dre, Till I Collapse, The Rising Tied,
• The date/time the track played: 4/10/26  
• Confirmation that you were able to give the censored track(s) a Thumbs down: Yes, and it is displayed as an explicit track on  my thumbs down list.
• Were you listening using a Pandora Mode like Crowd Faves, Discovery or Deep Cuts?: No.

@rapieranddagger Sorry to hear you are hearing censored versions of tracks despite having explicit content enabled on your account.

I do see the following censored tracks played on your Nick's Car Mix station:

• Forgot About Dre Album Version (Edited) (feat. Eminem)
• Till I Collapse (feat. Nate Dogg)
• Remember the Name (feat. Styles of Beyond)

After reviewing your station, I do see the following children's song was added as variety: Surface Pressure by Jessica Darrow (Children's)

I recommend removing that children's track as variety from your station as it may be the reason the censored versions are playing on your station rather than the explicit versions.

If censored tracks continue to play after removing, can you please reply back to this thread and let me know:

• the names of the censored tracks/artists that played
• the approximate date/time the tracks played 

I appreciate you working with me on this.
