False positive protection (Hold instead of Block)

Feature

False positive protection — When enabled, events that would normally be blocked are instead held for review (unless you explicitly deny them).

How it works

AegisSpamGuard still scores and classifies events, but it chooses a safer enforcement action to protect real users while you tune thresholds and allowlists.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard
  2. In “Protection mode”, toggle “False positive protection” ON/OFF.

Recommended setting

Recommended: ON during initial deployment and on business/commerce sites.

Holding suspicious events avoids losing legitimate leads/orders while you calibrate scoring.

Why you need this

This reduces risk on production sites where a single blocked registration or checkout can cost revenue.
