The Moderation AI Agent now screens new user registrations automatically, stopping spam bots and NSFW accounts before they ever set foot in your community.

 


Screen New User Profiles with AI-Powered Moderation

AI screening at the point of registration When a new account is created, the Moderation AI Agent evaluates it using the same intelligence applied to community posts. Accounts flagged for spam or NSFW content are automatically set to Banned and moved to the Banned Users group, with no manual review required.

Five profile fields analyzed The AI evaluates username, email address, signature, custom profile fields, and avatar image to make its determination.

Role-based exclusions built in Admins, Community Managers, Moderators, and Superusers are never screened, regardless of your settings.

Get Started Navigate to AI > Moderation Agent in Customer Communities Control and turn on the User profile moderation toggle.

Make Images Clickable in Posts and Topics

You can now hyperlink images directly in the rich text editor. After uploading an image to a post or topic, click on it and select the Hyperlink option to attach a URL. Once published, clicking the image opens the linked URL in a new tab, turning any image into a clickable, navigable element. Images without a hyperlink will continue to open in a lightbox. Images with a hyperlink skip the lightbox and take the user directly to the linked URL instead.

We have an SSO sign-in and registration. Does this work then?

Quick question:

  • where can we see the criteria that AI uses for Profile Moderation?
  • is it possible to personalize/alter these criteria or can we rely on the default system?



    Thanks in advance

So excited about image hyperlinking! How do I get it to open in a new tab?

I really like the questions asked by ​@Daniele Cmty here!

I was also wondering, some users that post spammy content in the community can have “regular” looking email addresses (with gmail etc) as well as “regular” usernames. On the contrary, users who genuinely want to engage can also have VERY strange usernames or email addresses. We wouldn’t want those to be mistakenly flagged. How would these cases be assessed by the AI user profile moderation tool?

Thank you!

@laura.porcincula ​@maxpetesprout It should be opening in a new tab by default! Let me know if that’s not what you are experiencing? I’ll take a look, if so.

For me, it’s not!
