Getting Started

The Banned Tag Check is a tag health monitoring tool that protects your content from shadowbans and visibility restrictions.

When you use banned, restricted, or "dead" tags on your posts, platforms like Fansly may limit your content's reach without telling you. This invisible punishment, called shadowbanning, can dramatically reduce your views, engagement, and earnings.

Our tool analyzes over 200,000 tags daily to identify which ones are:

  • Banned: Completely blocked by the platform
  • Restricted: Limited visibility or flagged content
  • Dead: No longer generating views or engagement
  • Healthy: Safe to use with good performance

Beta testers report 73% fewer shadowbans and 45% better content visibility when using our tag health checker before posting.

Getting Started

Using the tag checker takes less than 30 seconds:

Quick Check:
  1. Type your tag - Enter any tag without the # symbol
  2. Hit Enter or click Check - Instant results appear on the right
  3. Review the status - See health rating and recommendations
Understanding Results:
  • BANNED Don't use - will hurt visibility
  • RISKY Use with caution
  • HEALTHY Safe to use
  • EXCELLENT High-performing tag
Pro tip: Check all your tags before posting. One banned tag can affect your entire post's reach, even if the other tags are healthy.
Features

Our algorithm analyzes multiple factors to determine tag health:

BANNED / SHADOWBANNED
  • Zero recent views despite previous activity
  • Confirmed platform restrictions
  • Community reports of shadowbans
Action: Avoid completely
RISKY / DECLINING
  • Rapidly declining performance
  • Inconsistent reach patterns
  • May be facing restrictions
Action: Monitor closely
HEALTHY / STABLE
  • Consistent performance over time
  • No signs of restrictions
  • Moderate but reliable reach
Action: Safe to use
EXCELLENT / TRENDING
  • High engagement and views
  • Growing or trending performance
  • Platform-favored content
Action: Prioritize usage
Troubleshooting

Don't panic! Here's your action plan when tags show as banned or risky:

Do This:
  • Find similar healthy alternatives using our Tag Discovery Widget
  • Use more specific, niche variations of banned tags
  • Combine broader terms that aren't restricted
  • Check regularly - tag status can change
  • Focus on the Excellent tags we recommend
Avoid This:
  • Using banned tags hoping they'll work anyway
  • Trying to 'trick' the system with special characters
  • Ignoring warnings about risky tags
  • Using only one type of tag (diversify your strategy)
  • Posting without checking new or trending tags first
Remember: Platforms update their restrictions regularly. A tag that's banned today might become healthy next month, and vice versa. That's why checking before every post is crucial for maintaining optimal reach.
