For creators, “Shadowbanning” is a nightmare. Your engagement drops, your content disappears from the “Explore” page, and your sponsorship deals dry up. Often, this happens because of “mass reporting” or an accidental violation of community guidelines. Your reputation with the algorithm is just as important as your reputation with fans.

What is a “Reputation Score” for Accounts?

Platforms like Instagram and TikTok assign a hidden “Trust Score” to every account.

• Low Score: Frequent policy violations, bot followers, or mass reports. Result: Shadowban.

• High Score: Consistent posting, high engagement, verified identity. Result: Viral reach.

How to Fix a Damaged Account Reputation

1. The “Cool Down”: Stop all automation. Log out of third-party apps (like “Get Followers” apps). Stop posting for 48 hours.

2. Remove “Ghost” Followers: Use a tool to identify and remove fake bot followers that are dragging down your engagement rate.

3. Appeal with Evidence: If you were mass-reported by trolls, submit a formal appeal showing the coordinated attack.

4. Create “Safe” Content: For 2 weeks, post high-quality, non-controversial content to retrain the algorithm that you are a safe, valuable creator.
