Configure Safeguards and Blocked Domains

Before You Start

• Sign in as a community owner or admin.
• Open `Community Admin` settings.
• Decide stricter limits for new members before saving.

Step 1: Open Moderation Settings

1. Go to `Community Admin`.
2. Open `Moderation`.

Step 2: Set Trust Window and Daily Limits

1. Set `Trust window` days for new members.
2. Set `Max top-level posts / day`.
3. Set `Max replies / day`.
4. Set `Max mentions / day`.

Step 3: Restrict Links and Images for New Members

1. Find `Prevent users under trust window from adding links and images`.
2. Turn it `On` if you want stronger anti-spam protection.

Step 4: Configure Profanity Filter (Optional)

1. Turn on `Enable profanity filter` if needed.
2. Add blocked keywords (comma-separated).
3. Add an allowlist for words that should never be replaced.

Step 5: Add Banned Email Domains

1. In `Banned domains`, enter domains separated by commas.
2. Example: `mailinator.com, temporary-mail.org`.
3. Only valid domains are saved.

Step 6: Save Moderation Settings

1. Click `Save moderation settings`.
2. Confirm the success message appears.

Troubleshooting

• Validation error: check limits and keep values inside allowed ranges.
• Domain list not saving: remove URLs and keep only domain names.
• Too strict for real members: lower trust-window limits and save again.

Expected Result

Your community gets safer onboarding with trust-window limits, cleaner content controls, and blocked-domain protection.
