We're updating our labelling system to have two labels: 1. Account Verifications - a measure of how much work the user has done that is hard to fake (e.g. winning rewards, adding socials) 2. Account Spamminess - a measure of how spammy a user's account is when interacting with others.

The way visibility on Farcaster will work is a combination of these labels. To show up in replies, you will need a verification label. You can get this by connecting social accounts and holding a balance of $25. We will also add a system where users who have been active on the network for a while and have built large followings can get a verification without connecting socials (exact system tbd) Verifications will not affect your ability to earn rewards or airdrops for now. We are going to test out the proposal as it stands, and we may make some changes to the criteria depending on how easy or difficult it is for people to achieve. Your feedback as we roll this system out is always appreciated, and we'll make changes based on it.

In addition to a verification, a spam label can also affect your visibility. Our spam labels are moving to a single label (yes/no) instead of a three point system. A lot fewer people will receive spam labels as a result of this, and it will be focussed on accounts that are malicious or exploiting the system. However, if you get a spam label you may not show up in replies even if you have a verification. Only people who follow you will see your replies.

What of users that are active without a large following and are able to keep $25 in their wallets but dont have a social account to connect except for maybe a phone number?

@bondy
I think the $25 is a bit on the high side. And like some here already asked, is it a total account balance or one chain?

Good evening chief, I am grateful for the constant transparency and regular updates to make the app better My question is people who can’t afford the $25, completed all the verifications and by the algorithm are not viewed as spam, will they still be labeled spam, or what mechanism will be in cases for that aspect?
