Our spam models puts accounts into one of four categories: 

Level 0 - not enough information to make a decision
Level 1 - an authentic users that other users will like 
Level 2 - a slightly inauthentic user that some users won't like 
Level 3 - a very inauthentic user that almost all people will dislike

If we're certain that someone is spammy, their account goes into level 3 and their activity is usually hidden under the "Show more" in conversations. 

In most cases, it's less clear. An account may be good for a while and suddenly turn spammy when a new airdrop launches. In this case Level 2 might be applied, which does something lighter like disqualifying you from boosts, but still letting your replies appear. 

Accounts are also re-evaluated by our model very often so that new information can be used to make a more accurate decision. We rank and re-rank roughly 4-5 accounts every minute.

@mvr would you consider a new frame to help explain and highlight this?

I think it would be easy to show if you have a level 3 spam label (but more computing power) because we can still see the show more replies bucket on casts to the home feed. Now with channel changes and more people casting to home feeds, this may need ti be resurfaced. 

No idea how to show Level 0, 1, or 2, but maybe cross reference with Top Caster and Boost. If you’ve received one, you were Level 1 at that time. I know I’ve seen a Dune tracking top casters, haven’t seen one tracking boosts. 

Worth exploring?

Hi, the frame currently only does level 3. It's skipping channels but takes longer to process (more timeouts)
Especially when you're not a spammer frame will likely timeout (but continue in the background), next run should give quick results if soon enough after the initial run (it's cached for like 20 minutes)

Maybe considering adding the label “Level 3 Spam Label”? I want folks to start speaking in the correct lingo so we are all on the same page. There is so much nuisance here and confusion.  Trying to think of ways to make this extremely clear to people.
