FAQ

Everything you need to know about FollowHunt.

General

What is FollowHunt?
FollowHunt is a platform that coordinates meaningful founder-to-founder help around X (Twitter). Founders create requests for tasks like X replies, landing page feedback, or copy reviews. Helpers complete tasks manually, submit proof, and earn credits after the request owner reviews and confirms the work was helpful.
Is this engagement trading?
No. Unlike engagement pods or mutual promotion schemes, FollowHunt rewards only verified, helpful work. Every submission requires proof and is manually reviewed by the request owner. Low-effort submissions get rejected and can result in reputation penalties. We actively prevent "you like mine, I'll like yours" dynamics.
Does FollowHunt post on my behalf?
Never. You perform all actions manually on X or other platforms. FollowHunt never has access to post, like, follow, or take any action on your social accounts. We only coordinate requests, track proof, and handle credit transfers.
Is this against X's terms of service?
No. FollowHunt does not automate any actions on X. All engagement is manual and authentic. We explicitly prohibit botting, automation, and coordinated inauthentic behavior. Users who violate these rules are banned.

Account & Auth

Do I need an email to sign up?
No. Sign in with X only. We use X OAuth for authentication and don't require or store your email address. Your X username becomes your FollowHunt identity.
What data do you access from my X account?
Only your public profile information: username, display name, avatar, and bio. We cannot read your DMs, see your private posts, or take any actions on your account.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Contact support to request account deletion. Your profile and associated data will be removed, though anonymized ledger entries for completed transactions may be retained for audit purposes.

Tasks & Requests

What kinds of tasks can I request?
X Replies (thoughtful replies to your posts), X Quotes (quote tweets with commentary), Landing Page Feedback (structured reviews of your website), Copy Roasts (critique of your marketing copy), Flow Tests (testing signup/checkout flows), Introductions (connecting with relevant people), and Custom Tasks.
What makes a good task description?
Be specific about what you need, provide context about your product/situation, include a clear checklist of what "helpful" means, and set realistic expectations. The more specific your requirements, the better the submissions you'll receive.
Can I reject submissions?
Yes. As the request owner, you review all submissions and mark them as "helpful" or "not helpful." Credits are only transferred for helpful submissions. However, consistently rejecting quality work will affect your reputation.
What if someone submits spam or low-effort work?
Mark it as "not helpful" and optionally report it. Repeated low-effort submissions result in reputation penalties and potential account restrictions. Our spam detection also flags suspicious submissions automatically.

Credits & Payments

How do credits work?
Credits are the internal currency of FollowHunt. Earn credits by completing tasks and having your work marked as helpful. Spend credits by creating requests with bounties. Credits move between users via an immutable ledger.
Can I buy credits?
Not currently. Credits are earned through helpful work. We may introduce purchases in the future, but the core economy will always reward genuine helpfulness.
Do credits expire?
No. Your credit balance remains until you spend it on requests or transfer it through task completions.
How do I get starting credits?
New users receive a small starter grant. The best way to build your balance is by helping others—find open requests, do quality work, and earn credits from reviews.

Reputation & Trust

How does reputation work?
Your reputation is based on your helpful submission ratio over the last 30 days. High-quality, consistent helpers build visible reputation scores that make their submissions more trustworthy.
Can I see someone's reputation before accepting their help?
Yes. When reviewing submissions, you'll see the helper's reputation summary including their helpful ratio and total submissions. This helps you gauge the likely quality of their work.
What happens if my reputation drops?
Low reputation may result in lower visibility for your profile and submissions. Consistently unhelpful work can lead to throttling or account restrictions.

Moderation & Safety

What prevents spam and abuse?
Multiple layers: quality checklists on tasks, minimum character requirements, actionability scoring, similarity fingerprinting (to detect copy-paste), human review of every submission, and a reputation system that penalizes bad actors.
How do I report abuse?
Use the "Report" button on any profile, request, or submission. Our moderation team reviews reports and takes action as needed.
Can I be banned?
Yes. Violations of our guidelines—including spam, harassment, automation, or fraud—can result in account suspension or permanent ban.
