It is about time X finally cleans up all those annoying bots because the spam lately has been getting way out of hand. Just play it safe and stick to the official api if you do not want your account getting nuked for no reason

yeah this was coming sooner or later
too many people been pushing lazy automation on x like it’s 2023 still. if they really start linking accounts harder, a lot of setups are gonna get wiped fast
official api / slower human-like workflows probably gonna matter way more now

One thing I've noticed since probably yesterday - a lot of Premium (paid) replies are going into 'probably spam'.

You can try to recover the account; it occasionally works

we run x automation so far no issues, it seems it depends on fingerprinting mostly and executing different type of actions not only posting / liking / following...
we run without a browser

I doubt it will be to do with posting new tweets, it'll be more to do with auto-replying on accounts.

do you mean auto-reply bots? or just 1 message reply on incoming dms ?

I meant bots that auto-post on larger accounts' new tweets.

we ran some tests with that, some accounts seem to end up in spam and others hit the comment section, have not invested the time to find out why as of yet

I noticed some people replying to my tweets go into Spam - but are now not showing under Spam.

could be bot accounts / spam accounts that just spam api requests, a decent account replying should show up in your reply section

Just stop with the shady automation bots because X is not playing around with these bans anymore. It is definitely time to pivot to the official API if you actually care about keeping your accounts alive

Yeah that notice is serious. I logged into a clean account last week with just a basic script running. Did not even click anything. They still flagged the timing. I stopped everything. Now I just log in manually every few days. No scripts or bots. But if you need to run multiple accounts sight now, it's not safe. Best to wait

This explains a LOT honestly.
People still think bans are only about obvious spam now, but X seems way deeper into behavior analysis, account linking and trust scoring than before. Even “safe” setups have been getting caught lately if patterns look automated.
A lot of people still underestimate how much of X enforcement is layered now. It’s not just simple “spam detection” anymore — there’s automated trust scoring, linkage analysis, behavioral reviews and then sometimes manual escalation/review on top of that.
Seen plenty of accounts look completely dead at first and still come back later after deeper reviews/escalations, especially when the original hit was more detection-related than actual malicious abuse.
