What problem does signup risk scoring solve for communities?

Communities depend on trust, quality, and safety. Once spam accounts, fake profiles, and suspicious users enter your product, your team has to react with moderation queues, bans, reports, and cleanup. Signup risk scoring gives you a checkpoint before those accounts reach the community.

How does the Signup Risk Score API work?

Send the registration context your product already collects (email, name, IP address, provider context, domain, and community industry profile) during account creation. The API checks disposable email patterns, name quality, IP reputation, domain health, provider classification, and historical risk context, then returns a risk score your moderation flow can use immediately.

What are the possible outcomes from the API?

The API provides three routing options: Allow (let low-risk users join normally when identity, email, domain, and infrastructure signals look trustworthy), Review (hold uncertain registrations for moderation review, email confirmation, extra verification, or limited access), and Block (prevent high-risk registrations from accessing the community).

THE PROBLEM

Spam accounts create moderation work before they create value

Communities need low-friction registration, but open signup flows can attract spam accounts, abusive users, burner emails, and repeat offenders. Signup risk scoring adds a checkpoint before suspicious accounts reach posting, messaging, or member-facing permissions.

Spam registrations

Low-quality accounts can flood communities with fake profiles, links, scams, or automated posts.

Repeat offenders

Disposable emails and risky infrastructure make it easier for banned users or bad actors to return.

Moderator workload

Without signup risk context, moderators often discover bad accounts only after damage is already visible.

HOW IT HELPS

Score registrations before community access is granted

Send signup context during registration and receive a clear recommendation your community platform can use immediately.

Send registration context

Pass the user email, optional name, optional IP address, and community industry context during account creation.

Run risk checks

The API evaluates disposable email evidence, domain infrastructure, provider classification, identity details, name match, and optional IP reputation.

Gate access safely

Allow trusted users, review uncertain registrations, or block very high-risk attempts before posting or messaging access is enabled.

DECISIONING

Turn registrations into allow, review, or block decisions

Allow

Let low-risk users join normally when the checks show no major concerns.

Review

Hold uncertain users for email confirmation, CAPTCHA, moderation review, delayed posting, or reduced permissions.

Block

Stop very high-risk registrations before users can post, message, or interact with your community.

WORKFLOW

Where signup scoring fits in community access

Submit Form

User submits registration form

Send Context

Your app sends email, optional name, optional IP, and community context

Get Score

Signup Risk Score API returns email details, decision, checks, explanation, and metadata

Route User

Your app allows, reviews, or blocks the registration

Grant Access

Your app grants normal access, limited access, or no access

Use the recommendation directly for a simple registration gate, or inspect the check breakdown to build custom moderation workflows.

OUTCOMES

Reduce moderation burden without blocking every new user

Stop spam earlier

Catch suspicious registrations before they reach posting, messaging, or profile creation permissions.

Protect member trust

Reduce the number of low-quality accounts that legitimate members encounter.

Prioritize review queues

Use risk details to focus moderator attention on the accounts that need review most.

Preserve signup conversion

Apply extra friction only when the risk details justify it instead of challenging every new member.
