Policy thresholds (Allow / Challenge / Hold / Block bands)

Feature

Policy thresholds — Defines how a score (0–100) maps to actions: Allow, Challenge, Hold, or Block.

How it works

AegisSpamGuard produces a risk score from signals and applies your thresholds to decide enforcement. This keeps decisions consistent and easy to tune.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Open “Policy thresholds”
  3. Set Allow/Challenge/Hold max scores and save.

Recommended setting

Recommended defaults: Allow 29, Challenge 59, Hold 79.

These are balanced defaults that reduce false positives while still giving strong protection via Hold/Challenge bands.

Why you need this

Admins need predictable policy bands to match business risk tolerance.
