We reviewed your account activity and found evidence of engagement manipulation (“botting”), which violates GIMI’s fair use and anti-cheating policies. That includes artificially inflating engagement on campaign posts and then deleting the content to conceal the activity. It is strictly prohibited so the environment stays fair for all creators. The account is permanently banned and is no longer eligible to participate or monetize. If you believe this is a mistake, contact . ### Why is my contribution not earning on this campaign? The usual reason is that the campaign’s reward pool is fully consumed. Once the budget is gone, new contributions on that campaign cannot generate further earnings. Watch live campaigns that still have available budget. ### Why am I not earning from my posts? Posts start earning after the brand approves them. Review can take up to 72 hours. After approval you receive an email, and distribution content can continue earning from eligible engagement and impressions. Earnings update daily. If content shows suspicious growth, it may be set aside for review. Earnings pause until that review finishes, then they either resume or stay flagged if the content violates guidelines. ### Why was my post not approved? Every submission is checked against the campaign brief and community standards. Posts may be declined if they: * Do not match the brief (wrong format, missing elements, off-topic) * Are missing required hashtags, mentions, or branding * Are low-effort, spammy, or duplicate * Are private, deleted, or inaccessible * Violate TikTok, X, other platform rules, or GIMI’s content policies Follow the brief, keep work original and relevant, include required tags, and make distribution posts publicly visible. ### Do follower counts matter for earnings? No. GIMI rewards real engagement and qualifying work, not follower count. If posts consistently get low likes, comments, or views, that can indicate inactive followers. Focus on genuine interactions and active campaign participation. ### Why did my viral post not get rewarded? High reach is not enough when: * The post was not submitted to an active campaign * Engagement looks unnatural (for example mass shares from inactive accounts) To qualify, submit the post to the campaign and make sure reach comes from a genuine audience. Performance rewards also use Clean Engagement, which can differ from the numbers you see on socials. ### Why was my post flagged for generic comments? If most replies are identical copy-paste comments, or come from new or inactive accounts, that can look like bot-like behaviour. Encourage authentic conversation. ### Why are my earnings delayed? Earnings typically reflect within 24–72 hours after approval. Some campaigns take longer because of review or bonus structure. ### Why does my Boosted content not get moderated or approved? Boosted content gets priority in the queue and is instantly more visible to the brand. The brand may still take time to review. Boosting does not guarantee approval — if the submission misses the guidelines, it can still be declined. ### Why was my content flagged for suspicious growth? GIMI’s moderation system detects farming and botted engagement or impressions, and it distinguishes genuine viral content from artificial activity. When the call is unclear, human moderators review whether content should continue earning. If you believe a flag is wrong, open a Discord ticket or email with your profile link and a description of the issue. ### Will I get a refund from resubmission if my content was not approved? No. Resubmission spend exists to prevent spam and overcrowding. If you follow the campaign guidelines carefully, you should not need to rely on it. ### Can I join sourcing, distribution, and contest campaigns? Yes. Sourcing campaigns ask for file uploads. Distribution campaigns ask you to post on socials and submit the URL. Contests have a deadline and winners, and may use either format. Read each brief so you know what to submit and how you get paid. ### How do I withdraw? From your profile, with a **$10** minimum and a **5%** GIMI withdraw fee. Payouts go through Tipalti (bank, PayPal, and local methods where available) or crypto (USDC on Base or Ethereum). For issues, email with your account name and email address. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
