Hey Streamlit team,
I would like to use the subdomain hoerkompass for my app. In German “hörkompass” meains “hearing compass” but I get a profanity message. Could you allow this subdomain? The app is currently here: hearingcompass.streamlit.app
Thanks!
Welcome to the Streamlit community, and thanks for your thoughtful question!
Unfortunately, Streamlit Community Cloud uses an automated filter to block subdomains containing certain substrings it detects as profanity, even if the word is harmless in another language. There is currently no official way to bypass or appeal this filter for specific cases, and similar requests (e.g., for names or technical terms) have not resulted in exceptions being made for individual subdomains. The best workaround is to choose a different subdomain, possibly by altering the spelling or adding numbers/characters (e.g., “hoer-kompass” or “hoerkompass1”) as suggested in other forum threads.
If you believe this is a mistake and want to bring attention to it, you can post on the Streamlit forums as you have done, but there is no guarantee the filter will be changed for your case. The filter is applied globally and is not currently adjustable for individual requests. For more details, see similar discussions in the Streamlit forum and Streamlit documentation.
