Highlight comments with a background color in the WordPress Comments Admin pages. Choose the criteria for highlighting a comment, add a note to show it with, and pick the highlight color.
This plugin is “for internal use” and only highlights comments within the WordPress Comments admin. The typical use case for this plugin is to inform/remind users about what to do for a particular type of comment. Examples:
<ul>
<li>
Comments from John Doe – Always approve unless it’s about topic XYZ
</li>
<li>
Comments from IP 12.34.56.78 – Give a personal, non-standard response to these comments
</li>
</ul>
You can highlight a comment based on the contents of the commentor’s name, email, or IP address.

Why do we have tools to check our spelling, but not to check if we’re being kind to each other?
This plugin checks the intent of a comment before it’s submitted. If the author is being rude or disrespectful, it will encourage them to think twice, and give them a chance to rephrase their comment to be more kind before they submit it.
Google’s free <a href="https://www.perspectiveapi.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Perspective API</a> is used to determine the characteristics of the comment, which means that all comments will be sent to their servers for analysis. You can optionally request that they not store your comments for their future research.
The Perspective API can only analyze comments written in English, French, and Spanish. Comments written in other languages will be submitted without any analysis or content warnings.
The inspiration for this comes from Tristan Harris’ TED talk about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D55ctBYF3AY" rel="nofollow ugc">designing technology to reflect human values</a> and from <a href="http://www.rethinkwords.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">ReThink</a>.
