Skool News: What’s Live, What’s Coming, What Matters for a Good Community 1️⃣ Member Risk Score is live When someone requests to join your group, you’ll now see a risk indicator. This is Skool’s first pass at flagging likely spam or bad actors before they get in. If someone shows as high risk, Skool is basically saying: “Probably not worth the headache.” This is V1, not the final version. 2️⃣ Risk score is getting smarter Skool is actively expanding this system. More signals. More pattern detection. Better filtering over time. They’re not sharing the details on purpose so bad actors can’t game it. The goal is simple: - Let good people in. - Keep disruptive people out. - Reduce the daily moderation tax on owners. 3️⃣ Notification overload is being addressed Skool knows notifications get noisy, especially if you’re in multiple groups or very active. Working on: - Fewer low-value notifications - Keeping the important ones visible - Less overwhelm without losing signal This is a quality-of-life fix, especially for power users. 4️⃣ Traffic source tracking is coming (big update) A new Growth tab will show: - About page visitors - Signups - Conversion rate - New MRR (last 30 days) You’ll also see where members came from, including: - Skool Discovery - Affiliates - Instagram - YouTube - Facebook ads - Other sources You’ll be able to: - See trends over time - Spot what’s actually working off-platform - View traffic sources per member, not just totals This works automatically. No setup required. 5️⃣ More moderation tools are on the way Skool is leaning hard into community quality control. Planned direction: - Auto-decline high-risk members - Manual review for mid-risk - Fewer bad actors slipping through - Less time spent policing your own space Trying to eliminate the current tradeoff: - Review every request or - Deal with occasional damage after the fact The aim is to have neither.

Highlights, Takeaways, & Transcript in the Classroom here: #2026 01 10 This Weekly WISE Saturday Session comes from a hotel with unstable Wi-Fi. The signal drops, the screen rearranges itself, and the stream gets choppy. And still, the points are powerful. Life gets choppy sometimes. That’s why the frequency of practicing this simple reset is key: Breathe. Smile. enJOY. It’s a switch. A state change that opens the door for better choices. When someone gets pulled into worry stories, anxiety loops, and catastrophizing, the system tightens. It becomes harder to see options. Harder to act. Harder to lead. Whether you name yourself LEADER or not, you are leading. Leading a household. Leading a team. Leading a business. Leading yourself through the day, day by day. This episode also introduces a practical “fast help” option: a few sopts still available for the New Year $100 Catalyst Session (two hours) Like a mini VIP day, and it can be used for different kinds of forward motion: year planning, daily joy practice, Skool setup, or sorting out what kind of Skool presence fits your world. From there, the session moves into two connected tracks: Client Connection Hub A space geared toward wellness service providers (massage, chiro, physio, acupuncture, healers) and adaptable for other small businesses. The focus is strengthening relationships and creating a steady way to stay connected beyond appointments or transactions. Community Growth Support Hub A working support container built around the places communities commonly get sticky: unclear structure, weak engagement loops, confusing onboarding, too many offers (or none), and no clear member journey. One of the most useful shifts in this episode is the “member hat” check. Step out of owner mode. Experience your community like a brand new person would. Skool’s newer “view as non-member” feature makes that easier, and it’s a fast way to spot what feels unclear or overwhelming.

I had something I wanted to ask everyone here: Does anyone else notice they think about the same 3-5 things on repeat? For me it's usually work stuff I can't control, whether I'm reaching the right people as I build my skool, and whether I'm doing enough. Round and round. The problem isn't the actual issues—it's that I've trained my brain to loop on them. I still find myself falling into this pattern even though I know better. Curious if other people experience this, what you experience it about, and what you do to quiet your thoughts?
