Trust existing users older than N days

Feature

Trust users older than N days — Applies a trust boost to accounts older than a configurable age, reducing false positives for established users.

How it works

Older accounts are statistically lower risk; this setting lets you encode that into scoring.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Trust settings section
  3. Set “Trust existing user if older than N days”.

Recommended setting

Recommended: 7–14 days for most sites.

A week is enough to separate drive-by spam from normal members without granting immediate trust to new signups.

Why you need this

Admins improve UX for established users while keeping defenses strong for new accounts.
