Top 5 Rejection Triggers
1. ALL CAPS text — The #1 reason. Even one word in ALL CAPS (e.g., "FREE", "NOW", "BEST") can trigger rejection. Fix: use normal capitalization.
2. Unverifiable claims — "Best in the world", "guaranteed results", "#1 platform". Any claim that can't be independently verified. Fix: use specific, factual statements ("used by 50,000+ advertisers").
3. Urgency/scarcity language — "Last chance!", "Only today!", "Limited spots!", "Act now!" Fix: remove artificial urgency entirely. State facts instead.
4. Aggressive CTAs — "BUY NOW!!!", "CLICK HERE!!!", "DON'T MISS OUT!" Fix: use calm, descriptive CTAs ("Learn more", "Try free", "Open channel").
5. Missing disclaimers — For crypto: "This is not financial advice." For betting: "18+. Gamble responsibly." For finance: "Capital at risk." Missing these = instant rejection in regulated niches.

How to Fix a Declined Ad — Step by Step
Step 1: Check the rejection reason in your dashboard (Telegram shows a brief reason).
Step 2: Identify which trigger was hit (caps, claims, urgency, CTA, disclaimer).
Step 3: Rewrite the ad text removing the trigger. Use calm, factual language.
Step 4: Recreate the campaign with the new text (you can't edit declined ads, must recreate).
Step 5: Resubmit. If rejected again with different reason, iterate.
