GIMI pays for real work and real audiences. Brands approve content; GIMI’s systems watch for spam, botting, gamed engagement, and other integrity issues so honest creators are not competing against fake reach. ## Flags Submissions and accounts can be flagged when signals look off. Common reasons include: * Engagement manipulation (“botting”), including inflating engagement and then deleting posts to hide it * Duplicate or low-effort spam * Identical copy-paste comments, especially from new or inactive accounts * Unnatural view or engagement spikes * Private, deleted, or inaccessible posts submitted as distribution entries * Content that violates GIMI or platform policies A flag or **suspicious** label is not always a final verdict. It means extra review. Earnings on that content can pause until a human moderator decides whether the work should continue earning. If you think a flag is wrong, open a Discord ticket or email with your profile link and a description of the issue. ## Trust Trust is built over time: * Follow each campaign brief (sourcing upload, distribution URL, or contest rules) * Keep posts public and working if you submitted a social link * Use required tags and mentions * Earn approval, Spotlights, and consistent participation rather than one spiked post * Climb the [GIMI Level System](/gimi/for-creators/gimi-level-system.md) On performance rewards, GIMI uses **Clean Engagement** (quality, velocity, and trust factors). Your public social numbers may differ from the rewardable numbers shown on the content info page. Brands also build trust in you: Creative Partner tags and organization badges are endorsements they choose to give. Treat those relationships as long-term — private campaigns and higher-value briefs usually go to creators who already delivered.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://gimi.gitbook.io/gimi/for-creators/credibility-and-trust.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
