Recently penalized account loses non-follower reach
X may leave the video out of recommendations, so fewer people see it.
Free, no account: paste your caption and hashtags and see what X may flag, in seconds.
What triggers it
The account recently broke the X Rules, is thought to be spammy, or has graphic violence or hateful imagery in its profile photo, header or other profile elements. X's open-source code adds automated account-level labels (spam, impersonation, abuse, NSFW, compromised) with the same effect.
What X says
“Accounts that recently violated the X Rules.”
How to fix it
Clear any required post removals, secure the account, keep avatar and banner free of gore and hate symbols, and expect weak non-follower reach for a while after a violation.
Can FYProof spot it?
A check doesn't look for this one. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Video: not for this rule
- Speech: not for this rule
- On-screen text: not for this rule
- Caption: not for this rule
- Hashtags: not for this rule
Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.
