## Summary

Farcaster users are urged to check the accounts they follow for a Level 0 Spam Label and unfollow likely spammers to help mislabeled friends. The article says 256,912 Farcasters currently carry the label, meaning they are likely spammers, and that the team cannot review them one by one. It recommends a Dune query that lists followed accounts with the label, sorted by label level, so users can review Level 0 accounts' recent casts. The article notes the spam algorithm is secret, so the guidance is based on behavioral patterns, and says Level 0 accounts are ineligible for Warpcast rewards and their replies go to a "Show More Replies" bucket.

## Article

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.

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.

The Unwritten Rules of Warpcast: Avoiding Spam Labels (V2)

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.
