What Is the Shadowban Recovery Report?

The Shadowban Recovery Report (full title: Shadowban Diagnostic & Recovery Protocol) is a $3 PDF from AuditSocials that works out why your reach dropped on TikTok, Instagram, X or Reddit — an account restriction, a policy problem, weaker content or normal variance — and gives you the recovery steps, appeal routes and a controlled test for that cause. Each platform has its own edition, built on that platform's published rules and help pages.

Is This What's Happening to You?

Your reach fell off a cliff

Views, impressions or votes dropped overnight and nothing in the app explains why.

Your posts seem invisible

Friends can't find your posts, comments get no replies, or content disappears from feeds and search.

You don't know if it's a ban

Is it a restriction, a policy strike, weaker content or just normal variance? Each needs a different fix.

Platforms rarely tell you why reach drops, and most advice online is guesswork. The protocol walks you through the checks in the right order, so you fix the problem you actually have — not the one a forum thread assumed.

What's Inside the TikTok Protocol

Six parts that take you from “something's wrong” to a confirmed cause and a plan.

2-minute fast path

A quick triage so most people get their answer before the deep dive.

Diagnostic decision tree

Separates a real restriction from a content-performance dip, step by step.

0–100 Diagnostic Score

A self-scored rubric that maps to a clear GREEN / YELLOW / ORANGE / RED verdict.

Controlled test

A day-by-day experiment to prove what's happening instead of guessing.

Appeal playbook

The platform's real appeal routes, an evidence kit and a message template you can adapt.

Phased recovery roadmap

What to do in the first 48 hours, the first week and after — plus what to delete, archive or keep.

Built on TikTok's Own Rules

The TikTok edition quotes TikTok's own wording 5 times and lists 6 official sources with links, last checked September 2026. Where TikTok doesn't publish something — like how long a reach limit lasts — the report says so instead of inventing a number.

  • TikTok — For You feed Eligibility Standards
  • EU DSA Transparency Database
  • TikTok — Community Guidelines (2024H1 update)
  • TikTok Creator Academy — 'Video not recommended'
  • TikTok — Account Status & Analytics (in-app)
  • AuditSocials — TikTok policy & enforcement tracking

AuditSocials is independent and not affiliated with TikTok, Meta, X or Reddit. We can't access or restore accounts, and no one can guarantee a reach recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the report after paying?
The PDF downloads straight away on the page, and we email you a download link at the same time so you can come back to it. No account or signup is needed.
Which report should I buy?
Pick the platform where your reach dropped. Each report is written separately for TikTok, Instagram, X or Reddit — the checks, decision tree and appeal routes are specific to that platform, not a generic guide with the name swapped.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a single $3 payment per platform report. Nothing renews and you are not signed up for anything.
Can you guarantee my reach comes back?
No one honestly can — platforms do not publish how their reach limits work or how long they last. The report helps you work out which problem you actually have and gives you the fixes, appeal routes and a test to check whether recovery is happening.
Where does the information come from?
From each platform's own published rules, help pages and in-app account tools, listed with links at the end of every report, plus AuditSocials' ongoing tracking of platform policy and enforcement changes. Where a platform does not publish something — like a shadowban duration — the report says so instead of guessing.
Are you affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, X or Reddit?
No. AuditSocials is independent and cannot access, review or restore your account. The report shows you how to use the platform's own appeal and review channels.
What if the report doesn't help me?
Email info@auditsocials.com within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full, as set out in our refund policy.
