> Why SaTT flags posts (bought views, duplicate captions, deleted posts, new accounts, shared devices) and how honest creators avoid every flag.

## In short

SaTT scores every post for fraud and holds or blocks posts with impossible numbers, duplicated content, deleted posts or suspicious accounts. To avoid flags: grow organically, write your own caption, submit each post once, keep it online until the pool ends, and use one account per person and device.

## How does SaTT decide a post is suspicious?

Each measurement gets a [risk score](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#risk-score) from 0 to 100. From 30 the pool owner must decide; from 70, or with a blocking flag, rejection is recommended. Some flags block the post for good: deleted or private post, numbers that collapsed, or a post already submitted by another creator.

Nothing is paid during the 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation), and in performance pools 20% is held until a final check after the pool ends ([holdback](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#holdback)).

## Which numbers trigger flags?

- More likes or shares than views (impossible organically).
- A like or share rate far above or below normal for the audience size.
- A sudden jump in views compared with the post’s usual pace.
- Followers that jump in a few days, or numbers that fall sharply against their peak.

> **Warning:** Never buy views, likes or followers, even for a different post. Purges by the network make numbers collapse later, and a collapse blocks payment and forfeits the holdback.

## Why does duplicate content get refused?

SaTT compares post links and captions across creators and pools. These are flagged as [duplicate content](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#duplicate-content):

- The same post submitted by another creator (blocking: the first claimant wins).
- The same post submitted to several pools.
- An identical caption to another creator’s post, or an almost identical one (about 80% similar or more).

Write your own caption for each campaign and submit each post to one pool.

## Which account signals should you avoid?

- A social account under 30 days old is flagged; under 7 days it weighs more.
- One person controlling several handles on the same network is flagged (more than 3, then more than 6).
- Several creators submitting from the same internet connection or device are flagged.
- A deleted or private post is treated as removed and blocked.

If a post is flagged, the brand sees the reasons and decides; an honest post is often approved. See [anti-fraud scoring](https://satt.com/guides/features/anti-fraud-scoring).

## Key takeaways

- Grow organically: bought engagement triggers flags and later collapses.
- One original caption per campaign; one pool per post.
- Keep posts public until the pool ends, or the holdback is lost.
- One person, one account per network, one device.

## Frequently asked questions

### My post was flagged but it is honest. What now?

A flag sends it to the pool owner, who sees the reasons and the measurement history and can approve it. Only blocking flags (deleted, collapsed, already submitted by another creator) stop payment for good.

### Can I share a computer with another creator?

Several creators submitting from the same device or connection raises the risk score. It is not an automatic rejection, but it may send your posts to review.

### Is my IP address stored?

No raw value is stored: SaTT keeps only salted hashes of network and device hints to compare them.
