1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, from a first user of a communication application, multiple electronic messages addressed to other users of the communication application;

    calculating a message rate at which the first user sent the multiple electronic messages;

    determining a total block count of the first user, wherein the total block count identifies a total number of users of the communication application that have blocked the first user;

    determining a number of temporary subscriptions of the first user during a current session of use of the communication application;

    determining, based on the message rate, the total block count, and the number of temporary subscriptions, whether the electronic messages are likely to include unwanted content; and

    based on the determining of whether the electronic messages are likely to include unwanted content, automatically creating a temporary subscription between the first user and another user when the first user and the other user exchange messages during the current session, and terminating the temporary subscription automatically when the current session ends.
