Sadly this forum and these ideas are a waste of time... these problems are old news, wide reaching and not improving. Such a shame Pandora.

Reporting these one at a time is proving to be a waste of time. The issue is functionality and how Pandora defines "explicit filter". Radio stations seem to be clean 99% of time but if you go to Top Songs etc. all bets are off. Upvote a fix here: https://community.pandora.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Option-to-block-out-ALL-explicit-content/idc-p/18567

I've sent an exhaustive list of details to you & your engineers already. Also created an idea suggestion... But I have yet to hear from anyone to dig further into the issues nor seen any improvement.

@AdamPandora unfortunately that is just outright false. The songs have the correct 'E' label for explicit but still play when they should not. This isn't a label issue, this is a glitch in the software...

@AdamPandora Very limited 'content filter'. I have taken your suggestion: https://community.pandora.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Option-to-block-out-ALL-explicit-content/idi-p/18552#M1807

Today the option to block explicit content is VERY limited to just your radio stations.
You can still click an explicit song and it plays.
Voice commands (Siri/Google) still play explicit songs.
Playing a specific song defaults to explicit
Top Songs play explicit.
etc.
As a parent wanting to control child content, this is a problem.
It also creates problems for ANYONE wanting to stream in a clean environment (classroom, office, gym, etc.)
This feature request is to create a way to completely block explicit content playbook across the entire platform.

@AdamPandora Hmm... seems weird to even have the option to play explicit after going thru all the steps to turn on the clean settings. Is the explicit filter designed to work on 'top songs' on an artist page? Because it doesn't. Also 'hey Google' play song commands default to explicit even when clean is available (ex Blue Notes by Meek Mill)

@AdamPandora Thanks. Some more notes/observations below for your engineers. Stations: When I play a station, I RARELY hear an explicit version. But as noted previously, when I thumb up a clean song it shows in my thumbs as explicit and will playback as explicit when I click it. This obviously should not be allowed. "Top Songs" Top songs is almost useless for clean music, it will play the explicit version literally every time so I have stopped using this feature for now all together.

@AdamPandora Update on a very specific scenario I just tested. Meek Mill Station I cleared all thumbs up that showed as explicit Then I started listening on 'My Station' mode. Pay You Back by Meek Mill clean version began playing. I thumbed it up When I went back to the Station to look at the thumbed up songs, it was showing the explicit version, not the clean version. And when I played it indeed played the explicit version. Hoping this very specific thread goes somewhere with your engineers. Pandora has a competitive advantage with 'clean' songs that your main rivals do not have: a much bigger library of clean music AND stations that incorporate clean songs (ex Apple Music just skips explicit, does not play the clean track in its place). Spotify has a tiny clean music library. If you can get this working, it's a game changer IMO for parents, teachers, offices, gyms, etc.

@AdamPandora Thanks. In the meantime I canceled my Premium which is a bummer. Is there a way for me to completely reset everything on my account and delete all of my thumbs up history Etc and start from scratch? Doing this one song at a time is painfully slow

Yes which begs the question why is an explicit song even available for me to thumb up if I have always had explicit content turned off?? it's like a chicken-and-egg conversation and I feel like we're stuck in a loop here Is there a way for me to completely reset everything on my account and delete all of my thumbs up history Etc and start from scratch? Most of my thumbs up is done while I am driving in Android auto and it is not always obvious if I am thumbing up a clean or explicit version which of course would not be an issue if the actual explicit filter was working

Attached is a list of songs on "Meek Mill" radio. All were able to thumb up. And usually I am just on the standard radio setting although some times I go "artist only" and that is about it... I think I just tried "discovery" for 1st time yesterday so this issue well pre-dates that. Or can you log into my account for even more. This is so rampant sending you onesie twosie will not cut it... and again, these are not marked as clean, they are clearly marked as explicit so not hard to see. Website would not let me attach so here is link to photo: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dsXToichQi3bcpds5

Literally dozens of songs and stations. It's too many to keep up with.
And I am not talking about a song that is labeled "clean" but has explicit language. I am talking songs that are clearly labeled "explicit" playing despite me setting them not to play.
If this can't be fixed I am likely going to cancel my premium & go back to another platform...
