gibberish

The username reads as keyboard mash

Six letters or more with no vowel, or six consonants in a row, and nothing the bundled name lists recognise — deliberately conservative.

risk weight: +20
dataset: local-part-analysis
reads from: is_gibberish
verdict reason: none: a score-only signal

What it means

y counts as a vowel to protect names like krzysztof, anything under six letters is never flagged, digit-only usernames are never flagged, and a username the name dictionary recognises is never mash. It is independent of looks_generated: both can fire on one address.

It reads from is_gibberish and comes with no verdict reason.

What to do

Weigh it with the rest: alone it is a hint, beside a young domain or a catch-all it is a pattern.

Abbreviated: a real answer carries all 46 fields, listed in the verify-email reference. The risk_signals entry shown is the one this signal adds; the weights of every entry in the list sum to risk_score.
