Skool News Update - New Member Risk Score Feature Protects Your Community
The latest Skool News brings exciting updates that will transform how you manage membership requests.
The new Member Risk Score feature is already live and helping community owners filter out spammers before they can damage your community.
What Is the Member Risk Score?
When reviewing membership requests, you'll now see a risk indicator showing whether someone is likely to spam or disrupt your community. If you see "spam risk score: high" on a membership request, it's a clear signal to decline that person. This simple visual cue helps you make faster, more confident decisions about who joins your community.
Why This Matters for Community Owners
Before this Skool News update, community owners faced a difficult choice: manually review every single membership request (time-consuming) or enable auto-approve and risk letting bad actors into your community. The Member Risk Score eliminates this dilemma by giving you data-driven insights at the exact moment you need them.
This is particularly valuable for free communities with auto-approve enabled. You can now identify potential troublemakers before they gain access to your members, DMs, and comment sections.
What's Coming Next
According to this Skool News announcement, the current risk score is just V1. The development team is building a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes multiple data points to detect bad actors more accurately. While they won't reveal all the detection methods (to avoid educating spammers), the system will continuously improve over time.
How to Use This Feature Today
The Member Risk Score requires no setup or configuration. Simply review your pending membership requests as normal, and you'll automatically see risk indicators on suspicious accounts. Make declining decisions with confidence, knowing you're protecting your community's quality and member experience.
The Bigger Picture
This Skool News feature aligns with the platform's broader moderation roadmap, which includes automated approval systems that can approve low-risk members, decline high-risk members, and hold medium-risk requests for manual review.
Future updates will add SMS verification requirements for posting and commenting, making it even harder for banned users to return with new accounts.
Impact on Your Community Growth
Some community owners worry that stricter membership screening might slow growth. The opposite is true. By filtering out low-quality members early, you create a safer, more engaging environment that attracts and retains the right people. Quality always beats quantity when building communities that actually generate revenue.
The Member Risk Score is one small step in a larger mission: making community management sustainable for owners who don't have hours daily to moderate. As featured in this Skool News update, these automation tools let you focus on serving great members rather than fighting spammers.
Action Step: Log into your community today and review any pending membership requests. You'll immediately see the new risk score indicators in action.
