Question

Regarding keywords that may be unintentionally used as spam.

When I use keywords, I'm very careful to avoid spam. But if I accidentally include irrelevant keywords in some images, These are old photos, submitted for approval a long time ago. is my account at risk of being closed?
Right now, I'm checking every image and correcting the keywords.

    Nobody here can tell you if you are at risk. The only thing I can say is that portfolios are randomly checked and keyword spamming is a reason for having your account deactivated. If keywording gets checked by an automated review is beyond our knowledge.
