Today, 256,912 Farcasters have a Level 0 Spam Label, meaning they are likely to be spammers. We can't check them one by one and see if they are a false positive; there are too many. But you can save your friends from the Spam Label right now.
You can use the Dune query below to find out who YOU follow that has a Level 0 Spam Label. You will need to sign up for a FREE Dune account and then add your FID to run the query.
https://dune.com/jkavithamahesh/farcaster-followers-and-following-with-spam-label-by-fid
Scroll to the bottom and you'll see your following and who you follow. You can't do anything about who follows you, but you can investigate who you follow and take action. On the bottom right you'll see : Farcaster - Following with Spam Label - By FID; click the "label" heading to sort the table and go through the Level 0's.
Who are you following with a label? Are they honestly being spammy? Check their account and look at their recents casts. Use my guide to help your decide. Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The spam algorithm is secret, as it should be, so this is based on behavioral patterns of accounts that get marked as spammy.
It's time to stop being polite and start being real. Farcaster is a super cool open protocol, but Warpcast, the main client 95% of us use to engage with it, is a closed sandbox with a lot of unwritten rules and culture that you have to figure out to do well.
If you 1000% believe some of the people you follow that have a "0" label are incorrect and you are willing to stake your reputation on it, please plead your case to the Warpcast team on the cast linked below.
If you see any people labelled 0 (definitely spam) that shouldn't be, please reply with their profiles here @pichi Will build something more scalable in the future, but for now this will be very helpful.
Who you follow is important. Unfollow spammy accounts. Save your friends who are mislabeled. Their Warpcast experience is awful.
Level 0 is not eligible for Warpcast rewards. When they tag people, those who were tagged don't get notified. Their replies are sent to the "Show More Replies" bucket. They are basically invisible on Warpcast. Daily Active Users is too small to lose good casters. The algorithm isn't perfect, so we have to help bring attention to those who get caught in the net.

I’m going to do what. When I’m in spam, then I will beg for you to help. 🤓🤷🏽♀️ Kidding of course. Thank you for this write up! 🙏🏼
The embeds look like shit to me on mobile. Do they look like shit to you?
Looks good to me! Clicked smooth too. I minted! ;)
It looks and reads like they work!
42 $degen 😎🙏
I'm hoping to leave spam jail soon after reading this through. Or any suggestions?
GE @pichi I thought pro subscription grants casts of 10k characters right? My last cast is way shorter but still didn't display as a whole. Is there something I am missing??
Only the first 320 charters show on the timeline but you *should* be able to cast it.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I hope that I can cast longer very soon 🙂
We can’t fix the spam algo, but you can save someone who is mislabeled. My article gives you the tools to check and the team is listening in the cast below! https://paragraph.com/@pichi/warpcast-spam-labels-and-starfish
hmm, that's a strange interpretation. meaning label 0 but its real persona, not a spamer or label 2 but still not worthy to receive rewards etc.
I don’t understand.
what I mean or do they?
Thanks you so much
I always check my label everyday and until now it's still lv2. And it says unlikely spammy behavior. Am I visible or still on show more? Please let me know, Honestly it frustrates me every day always guessing whether I'm safe or not huhhhh
You are in snow more. I did not get a notification for your reply. You should comment on V’s cast above. This should not be happening.
ok the spam label is completely gone from me 🤣 but why are the reward points still at 500?
You showed up in Show More replies which means you still have a spam label
ahhhh is this serious? 😭😭😭 so it's still a long journey to get out of the spam label
hi Pichi, i’ve also left spam for like three to four days and my friends confirmed i’m no longer in more replies. but for some reason, my rewards have been at <500 since and i really don’t know what’s wrong at this point
My label is showing unlikely to spammy but I’m still in spam what can I do pls
Get Out Of (Spam) Jail For Free (Kinda) https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide Thanks to @pichi for spotlighting this 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Update, it was closer to 100,000. That’s a lot of Farcasters who: ☠︎︎ Lost their voice on the app, they are now regulated to “Show More Replies” on non channel casts ☠︎︎ No longer qualify for the Leaderboard ☠︎︎ Have their engagement considered “worthless” aka no leaderboard points are given for their engagement and their likes don’t show up https://farcaster.xyz/mvr/0x0f3b52c2
What’s the TLDR on why that happened now in such an aggressive way?
No clue.
no wonder there’s only 37 of us
i wonder how much tipping affected people here. especially as many people upped their tipping amounts I'm sure they also less free with their replies and likes
I wrote about this as one possible theory. https://farcaster.xyz/pichi/0x3aa4aa73
really awkward as a new caster if i'm being honest. i don't interact with a ton of people who i'm not mutuals with (some exceptions). but if you're new, everything is a potential land mine for being spam labeled then a tipping meta can maybe teach you that "oh hey everyone is commenting on this guy's post for tips.. why not" then a meta can turn on you and.. bam.. spam label
this will totallt bring more users to farcaster 🫠
lol, everyone I personally on boarded left last summer. When the Spam labels finally went public, I could tell that every single one of them had been given the bad Spam label for no justifiable reason whatsoever, and I cannot convince them to come back to farcaster…
same (deadass seriously) and then when the topic comes up , the fc team folks best attempt at engaging with your feedback is to ask for “specific examples” - 😭 cc @ted - not tryna merely give you shit or smth- im literally just trying to give this feedback (since it came up today and i engaged) if you want one example that especially really bothers my mind still i can think of (from like a longggg time ago - but apparently things have not gotten better still) : the great @bookofbee fc has driven away so much talent and potentially very valuable users and creators by missing the mark with these kinds of standards… - i feel like such a broken record though that it makes me feel a lil insane saying this even yet again but OK. - just in case it ever finally has impact, im writing this out yet again… up to yall - just (real, no bullshit) feedback
Farcaster should maybe look to reward those who do return and free themselves from the spam label? 🤔 Constantly growing, and encouraging active and engaged users is hard. But FC has an edge and an opportunity here, I think.
Is this saying that label 1 is apparently gone but implicitly present?
Label 1 is finally gone. It’s just binary now. Likely to be spammy (0) Unlikely to be spammy (2)
Yes, I understand that. But the fact that there are so many “Not Labeled” seems to indicate that it might be something like “Lebel 1”.
Label 1 is finally gone. It’s just binary now. Likely to be spammy (0) Unlikely to be spammy (2)
To people who are constantly labelled spammy, this feels like a grind. One day you're not spammy anymore, the next day boom you fell back into the spammy bucket. I wonder what's the purpose for the team to do such drastic measures, not benefiting engagement at all
I have no idea. It’s harsh this month.
Wow forced to exist more under radar
Wait, why did my comment appear on the surface?
Ooooof 😮💨 Any word on why
No idea why it’s so aggressive.
I've seen a lot of my friends here who got spam label "1" and "0" even though they just joined a month or a year. This guide was made by pichi to help farcasters be jail free. It won't be easy and we don't even know where to start guiding those who were labeled as spam. You may use this as a guide and make sure to cast accordingly. Happy Sunday, fam 💕 https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide

tl;dr Warpcast team says to “cast a lot*” to succeed—but the * matters. Spamming low-engagement posts won’t help; 75-80% of casts get ignored. To win on Warpcast (and qualify for rewards/airdrops), your content needs engagement. 🔹 Prioritize quality over quantity—engagement beats sheer volume. 🔹 If your casts get zero interaction, rethink your approach. 🔹 Not a creator? Be a curator—share valuable content with context. 🔹 Text-based posts perform best, even for art—add a story or insight. 🔹 Warpcast rewards interaction and experimentation. Adapt, engage, and play the game. Don’t want to? You don’t have to. Farcaster is open and infinite. Use another client. Ignore all of this.
We talked about it today on a session we did for latam with Ted.
Oooo! I’d love to hear more!!!
Noted, thank you so much for this information pichi!
Appreciate everything you are doing and clarify for non-OG users! 🙏
<3
Thanks Alot for this info , I was casting my As* off but now I know what to do .
So good 😊
I recently told you about my friend’s spam label, she’s casting and interacting with the community regularly but she’s still on spam label, would love your help on this matter. You can check her profile, @freya-
https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide
These tips, to me, are the most valuable content on Warpcast Thank you Pichi
Wow well said 😌
i will start using it for most of my photographs
Is this normal ? Never got points ever Wondering if there are other ppl who don’t score any points, if so, why ?
hmmmmmmmmm🤔
https://warpcast.com/pichi/0xd713fa7c
Thanks tho for sharing
So it was the same for me for a long time and I think the scoring only happens when the people replying have a high enough social rank
Mh I feel it’s more because i’m a spam… Last social interactions I got are mainly from high social rank accounts Also my « probably spam » label will have a year soon…. Sent an e-mail one week ago, got the automatic reply I guess… Who can I contact and who can help me?? Really anoying putting efforts in something that ignore you and to fed with « have good engagement, cast a lot but don’t spam… » etc What am I doing wrong ? Why can’t I manage this ? Why it’s centralized decision, arbitrary, Also have a screen of @dwr.eth reset an account that complained not having a badge…. That’s unfair, plans got changed from this situation, making me in an inconfortable position…
https://warpcast.com/pichi/0xd713fa7c
Really not sure who to contact … would have suggested @dwr.eth as well ! Maybe @anemale.eth can help ! Or @pichi she always know who to contact !
Wasn’t scoring some points for awhile too Was just because I wasn’t too active But when I became alittle bit active and vice versa I got some reward last week.
But I’m active I guess :/
Yeah but I think to boost your score you’ll have to reach audience with bigger numbers ig.
