“she is a stunningly beautiful woman “
This is working as intended. This is the kind of kind of comment that has no substance besides that you approve of the pic/woman... but we already have a "+1" button for that.
Anyway, I've made some tweaks to the filter to be more targeted towards exactly this sort of comment, and ideally have fewer false positives.

There is substance behind that comment beyond a "+1" because he doesn't say that on every +1 that he clicks. She's not just +1, she's worth taking the time to point out that she's stunning. I get not wanting to see comments like "boing" and "goddess" all the time, and not wanting derogatory comments, but what harm is there in emphasizing that you think a woman is stunningly beautiful? This is why I don't completely understand the point of this filter. It's like outlawing a pet peeve that is easy to just ignore. Censor the derogatory and disrespectful comments because they can hurt people, but if people want to sound off and they aren't being mean or disrespectful, why not let them sound off?
Also, I like to search comments for specific words sometimes and I'm afraid that this filter is going to seriously limit the usefulness of that feature.
In the end, it's your website and you can do whatever you want with it, but I thought, as a person who's been here for years, I'd give my two cents. I'll love your website and thank you for it either way.

Then he can go to the effort to say what it is about the picture that he likes, which should be accepted by the filter.

It's actually pretty easy to circumvent the filter. I tried posting "boing" on a picture (which I've never posted before) and of course the filter wouldn't accept it. So, I wrote "boing a doing a ding dong dang" and it accepted it. I deleted the post because I was just experimenting.
Yeah the ban on "boing" is not a hard ban, you can make up for it by writing other things.
The goal is not to have a filter that you can't circumvent, but rather one where circumventing it results in one of:
One possibility is that some viewers are here not simply for the picture and the comments are not here purely for information, but use the comments as some kind of emotional prompts. It's easier to fawn over something when someone else is already doing it. If you are the only person on a street gasping and taking deep breaths when some woman goes by, people will look at you strange and you will feel out of place. But when you do it with ten other people or in the shadow of some bold and noisy person, it's a lot safer.
That's a good point and a legitimate use of comments in my eyes. I don't understand how it improves the users experience on this site when simple compliments cannot be posted anymore.
Everytime I spend 5 minutes trying my luck with every single comment. That's not how it's supposed to work. I'll give up after 15 attempts.
You comment frequently and your comments are some combination of very repetitive and/or generic (can be applied to basically any picture on the site like "She's beyond belief!") which is why the filter is getting you so much.
I wrote a stupid comment that read something like "Awesome biceps," but it was rejected. I got it past the filter by making it more stupid and writing something like, "Awesome biceps. QED."
In defense of "Whoa!"
If you witness a street fight (or watch a video of a street fight), it's perfectly understandable to hear people offer the most insipid live commentary, "He just hit him!" Stunning beauty famously reduces poets to temporary aphasia.
What does "JMJ!" mean? As another person reading the comments, I have no idea what this means (it makes no sense) yet it is accepted. Does this mean that as long as it's not repetitive or generic it will be accepted, even though (to me, anyway) it just looks like some random jumbled up letters. Why are abbreviations accepted? So, basically, a comment doesn't have to make sense to be accepted, so long as it's not repetitive.
I typed “she is a stunningly beautiful woman “, and it was rejected
