## In short

When the fraud checks score a post 30 or more out of 100, its payment waits for you. Open your [Dashboard](https://satt.com/dashboard), read the [risk score](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#risk-score), the plain-language flags and the measurement history, then press **Approve** to pay it or **Reject** to stop it. Posts that were deleted, collapsed or already submitted by another creator are blocked automatically.

## Why is a post flagged?

Every measurement of every post is scored from 0 to 100 by SaTT’s fraud checks. The score adds up signals such as:

- Impossible or unusual ratios: more likes than views, many views but almost no likes, an [engagement rate](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#engagement-rate) too high or too low for the audience.
- Sudden changes: a jump in views versus the post’s usual pace, followers that jump or drop in a few days.
- Copying: a caption identical or almost identical to another creator’s post ([duplicate content](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#duplicate-content)).
- Identity hints: a social account under 7 or 30 days old, several creators on the same device or network, one person controlling many handles.

## What do the risk levels mean?

| Risk score | Label | What happens |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Under 30 | Looks organic | Paid normally after the 48-hour maturation |
| 30 to 69 | Needs your decision | The payment is held until you approve or reject |
| 70 or more, or a hard flag | Recommended: reject | Held; SaTT recommends rejecting it |
| Blocking flag | Blocked — no further payment | Post deleted or private, numbers collapsed, or post already submitted by another creator |

Blocked posts need no decision: nothing more is ever paid for them, and any [holdback](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#holdback) is forfeited.

## How do you review a flagged post, step by step?

1. **Open your dashboard** — Go to [Dashboard](https://satt.com/dashboard) and open the pool. Crypto pools list “Flagged claims”; dollar pools list held posts.
2. **Read “Why it was flagged”** — Check the risk score (for example “Risk 45/100”), each flag in plain words and the date the post becomes payable.
3. **Check the measurement history** — Compare views, likes, shares and followers over time. A steady curve is reassuring; a single overnight jump is not.
4. **Open the post** — Use “View the post” to see whether the content follows your brief and whether comments look real.
5. **Approve or reject** — Press **Approve** to release the payment, or **Reject** and add an optional reason. A rejected post stops earning; what was already paid stays paid.

## What happens after you decide?

- In a performance pool, an approved post keeps earning as it grows; later growth is scored again.
- In a dollar fixed-price pool, SaTT re-reads the creator’s audience at approval. If it dropped by more than 20%, the post is re-priced with the lower count (never higher).
- Approval does not skip the 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation): a post approved early is paid once it matures.
- In dollars you cannot close a pool while reviews are pending, so review before closing.

> **Tip:** If a post is labelled “Test data (mock source)”, its numbers are simulated test data, not a real measurement.

## Key takeaways

- Posts scoring 30 or more out of 100 wait for your decision.
- From 70, or with a hard flag, SaTT recommends rejecting.
- Deleted, collapsed and duplicated posts are blocked automatically.
- Approve pays the held amount; reject stops the post but keeps past payments.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I have to review every post?

No. Only posts with a risk score of 30 or more wait for you. Posts under 30 are paid automatically after the 48-hour maturation.

### Can I approve a post that SaTT recommends rejecting?

Yes. “Recommended: reject” is advice; the decision is yours. Blocked posts (deleted, collapsed or already submitted by another creator) cannot be approved.

### Does the creator see why the post was flagged?

The creator sees that the post was flagged and that the advertiser must approve it before payment. The detailed flags are shown in your review queue.
