How Account Tiers Work — From Good Standing to Termination
Every creator account on Fansit sits in one of five tiers. The tiers determine what you can do on the platform and signal your standing to our moderation systems. Three warnings will move an account through the tier ladder to termination.
The five tiers
1. Good Standing
The default for active, healthy accounts. No restrictions, no warnings.
- Full access to all creator features.
- Standard pending balance period (10 days).
- Standard payout schedule.
- Full visibility on Explore and search.
Most creators stay in Good Standing throughout their entire time on Fansit.
2. Notice
Issued for minor violations or risk signals that don't yet warrant restrictions. Notice is informational — your account works normally.
- All creator features still active.
- A single Notice does not trigger any feature limits.
- Multiple Notices in a 90-day window can escalate to Caution.
Notices are how we tell you "we saw something we want you aware of, but it's not yet a real problem."
3. Caution
Issued for moderate violations or recurring minor ones. Caution applies soft restrictions:
- Pending balance period extended to 14 days (from 10).
- Discoverability limits — you may show up less in Explore and Search recommendations.
- Mass message frequency cap — limited to one mass message per 14 days.
- Live streaming may require pre-approval for the first stream after entering Caution.
- All other features remain.
Caution is a real warning sign. Two Cautions in a 90-day window typically escalate to Restriction.
4. Restriction
Issued for serious violations or repeated lower-tier violations. Restriction is a hard freeze:
- Pending balance fully held — payouts paused.
- No new content can be posted.
- No mass messaging.
- No live streaming.
- You can read and respond to existing DMs but cannot initiate new conversations.
- Profile is hidden from Explore, Search, and recommendations.
- Existing subscribers retain access; you keep earning from active subs and PPV that's already published.
Restriction triggers a mandatory appeal process — when you log in, you'll see the appeal screen.
5. Termination
The end. Triggered by:
- A zero-tolerance violation (CSAM, non-consensual content, trafficking, bestiality, real violence) — immediate, no warnings.
- A third strike at Restriction without successful appeals.
- A fraud event that compromises Fansit's standing with payment processors.
Termination is permanent:
- Account is closed.
- All content is removed.
- Pending earnings may be held for up to 180 days to absorb chargebacks.
- After 180 days, any net positive balance is paid out, less amounts attributed to the violation.
- The KYC identity is banned from future Fansit accounts.
How warnings escalate
Three warnings in a 90-day rolling window will progress your account:
- 1st warning → Notice if not already there.
- 2nd warning → Caution if not already there.
- 3rd warning → Restriction.
Restriction triggers the appeal process. A successful appeal can move you back up to Caution; an unsuccessful appeal or no response within 14 days moves you to Termination.
What can downgrade your tier
- Content policy violations (excluding zero-tolerance which goes straight to Termination).
- Abnormal chargeback rate — typically above 2% of transaction volume.
- Failure to maintain KYC (e.g., expired ID, name mismatches).
- Disclosure violations — undisclosed AI content, missing labels.
- Off-platform solicitation detected in DMs.
- Spam patterns — mass-DMing non-subscribers, fake engagement.
What can upgrade your tier
- Time without further violations — Notices automatically expire after 90 days.
- Successful appeal of a Restriction can return you to Caution (not all the way to Good Standing).
- Compliance demonstration — addressing the issue that triggered the warning.
How to know your tier
Your current tier is shown in Settings → Account Status. You'll see:
- Current tier.
- Reason if not Good Standing.
- Date of any active warnings.
- Date the tier will reset (if applicable).
Notifications
Each tier change triggers an email and an in-app notification with:
- The reason.
- What changes for you.
- What you can do next.
We try to be specific. If you don't understand the reason, reply to the notification email and we'll clarify.
