First Draft Club

Spam Labels have been public for a month and we've seen significant updates to the number of casters with Level 2 Labels (the good one) and the consequences of the Level 0 Label (the worst one) via the Great Follower Purge of February 2025. 

With a resurgence of bot-like accounts this weekend, the algorithm will only get more aggressive. 

I've made significant revisions on this article as the team has given us more clarity around the algorithm as well as included resources on how to save your friends from spam jail and a thread on the teams thinking about spam. 

Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The algo is secret.  Always appreciate any feedback or areas I can clarify.

Hi @pichi, sorry to bother you

I’ve received a spam label 1, which is reducing my account’s activity. Is there a way to fix this or get recommendations to remove it? I’m an active member of /⁠higher and always try to provide valuable content

pushing pixels • H I G H E R •
football lover • vibing in /such

Perhaps this happened because I published my art without a description?

It's just sometimes very difficult to contact people when they don't see my replies to their posts

There is no official process to move from a level 1 to a level 2. 

The team specifically asked for us to help identify people with the 0 label who got caught in the filter. 

I would try to adjust casting patterns because you may be triggering something.
