cleanmod

<p>CleanMod WordPress Plugin integrates CleanMod AI comment moderation to automatically detect and handle toxic comments on your WordPress site.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Moderation</strong>: New comments are automatically sent to CleanMod’s moderation API</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Behavior</strong>: Configure how flagged and blocked comments are handled</li>
<li><strong>Fail-Safe</strong>: Comments still work even if the API is unavailable</li>
<li><strong>Native WordPress Integration</strong>: Works with WordPress’s built-in comment system</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>When a new comment is submitted, the plugin intercepts it using WordPress’s <code>pre_comment_approved</code> filter</li>
<li>The comment text is sent to CleanMod’s <code>/api/v1/moderate</code> endpoint</li>
<li>Based on the <code>decision</code> returned (<code>allow</code>, <code>flag</code>, or <code>block</code>), the comment status is adjusted according to your settings</li>
<li>If the API is unavailable, comments proceed normally (fail-open policy)</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on the CleanMod moderation service (https://cleanmod.dev) to analyze and moderate comments. When a new comment is submitted on your WordPress site, the comment text is sent to CleanMod’s API for moderation analysis.</p>
