What is a shadow ban?

Your account stays active but your content is hidden. No warning, no email — just a sudden engagement drop.

Search Suggestion Ban

Your profile doesn't appear when someone types your @username in search.

Search Ban

Your tweets vanish from search results, hashtags, and the Explore tab.

Ghost Ban

Your replies are hidden behind “Show more replies” — no one sees them.

Common triggers

Avoid these patterns to stay off X's radar.

Rapid scaling

3x increase in daily activity triggers bot detection.

Spam patterns

Repetitive phrasing across replies, even with small variations.

Burst activity

15 replies in 10 min, then silence — looks automated.

Links from new accounts

Under 1K followers + external links = spam signal.

Bot interactions

Engaging with flagged accounts hurts your trust score.

Common questions

How accurate is this checker?
Three independent tests against X's live systems. Detects the most common ban types, but X's filtering changes frequently — no tool is 100% accurate.
Do I need to log in?
No. Just enter a public @username. We never ask for your credentials.
Can this tool remove a shadow ban?
No. Recovery requires pausing activity for 48–72 hours and gradually resuming. Full recovery guide.
Is checking safe for my account?
Yes. We query X's public search systems — no interaction with your account, no risk of restrictions.

HelperX enforces safe limits to prevent shadow bans.
