In order to protect against using our platform to create spam and commit fraud, Member.buzz assigns attaches a Risk Level reputation level to each Space using our advanced artificial intelligence engine.
The longer that a Space uses our platform without incident, the lower the risk level will become.
A Space can be changed to a low fraud risk starting 30 days after its first paid transaction.
. As a Space becomes established and processes a high level of payments without incident, its reputation level will automatically increase.

A Space's reputation level is calculated and adjusted automatically using Member.buzz's proprietary artificial intelligence. However, reputation is generally affected by the following factors:
Space Age
The longer a Space has been around, the higher its reputation will tend to be (and stay).
Spam Reports
Reports on the misuse of our features to create spam decreases a Space's reputation.
Payment Disputes
Excessive disputed payments will drastically decrease a Space's reputation.
Excessive Refunds
If a Space receives excessive refunds, it can negatively impact reputation.
Identity Confirmation
In some circumstances, a Space is able to get fast-tracked to a higher reputation. This involves an interview to confirm the identity of the primary organizer. If you are interested in scheduling an interview, please

A Space's reputation level has several important implications:
Availability Buffer
The extra time required before the money from a transaction is available to be transferred to a bank account. Note that this is only the minimum amount of time; a transactions availability can also be impacted by country of origin, payment method, and more.
Transfer Reserve
The minimum amount of money, as a percentage of the Space's last 30 days of transactions, that must be kept in the Space to cover refunds and disputes.
These amount of these implications change with each Space's reputation:
| Reputation | Availability Buffer | Transfer Reserve |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | 3 Days | 5% |
| Good | 7 Days | 10% |
| Decent | 15 Days | 25% |
| Bad | 30 Days | 50% |
| Terrible | Payments Disabled | |
A Space's risk level has several important ramifications, including:
Transaction Availability TimeTransactions on a Space with a lower risk level will become available for transfer earlier than those with a higher risk level (See Commerce).
Reserve Requirements
Each Space is required to delay transferring a small percentage of its transactions to cover any possible disputes or refunds. This amount will decrease as a Space's risk level decreases.
Using our platform to commit fraud is a clear violation of our Terms of Service and will result in a lifetime ban.
