#12You can always use it for good, you know. ;)
The Instagram API returns an APINotAllowedError (response code 400) when you search for one of these hashtags. I'm using it to automatically identify and categorize NSFW hashtags for one of my projects, HashPix. You can see it in action at http://hashpix.herokuapp.com/

#13Why is #thinsipration banned again?
In a country with 35.7% obesity (e.g. 203 pounds at 5'9" = obese), you'd think it would be a good thing to let people inspire others to get back to normal weight.

Because 'thinspiration' is not about encouraging people to lose weight, it's encouraging anorexia/

#15not sure about everyone else, but the first one i looked for starts with an "n", but it didn't make the list, how come?
People used to call me a ninny all the time, I don't think it should be banned though.
I agree though, imo the word you're thinking of is probably banned and the linked list is not a complete/exhaustive one.

#16Looks like a clear case of the Scunthorpe problem:

The n-word is banned. Apparently one can test for this one self by searching her: https://hashpix.herokuapp.com/
If the word is banned you will get an error message saying "Instagram: (400) APINotAllowedError-This tag cannot be viewed" at the top.

If you're saying that "cotton headed ninny muggins" isn't on the banned list, then I am officially offended.

Heh, good catch! :P
I've been lazy about writing a good filter to weed out the nasty ones. I considered quite a few approaches - ranging from an NLTK-based algo to basic brute-force list-search with word-stemming. Then I realized, it would take me a lot more time to develop that, than the rest of the project.
So, I chose the easy way out. Turn out it saved me quite a bit of effort, too. :)
