<p>MoodModerator is a powerful WordPress plugin that uses artificial intelligence to analyze the sentiment of comments on your website. It automatically detects the tone of comments (Friendly, Toxic, Sarcastic, Questioning, Angry, Neutral, etc.) and can automatically hold negative comments for moderation.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-Powered Sentiment Analysis</strong> – Uses OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini for accurate tone detection</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Moderation</strong> – Hold negative comments for review based on configurable strictness levels</li>
<li><strong>Hybrid Tone Approach</strong> – Combines predefined tones with AI-suggested new tones</li>
<li><strong>Comprehensive Analytics</strong> – View sentiment breakdown by post and overall statistics</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard Widget</strong> – 30-day sentiment summary right on your WordPress dashboard</li>
<li><strong>Comments Table Integration</strong> – See tone badges directly in your Comments admin table</li>
<li><strong>Posts Table Integration</strong> – View average sentiment for each post at a glance</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Caching</strong> – Minimizes API costs by caching sentiment results</li>
<li><strong>Detailed Logging</strong> – Track all API calls, errors, and moderation decisions</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Strictness Levels</strong>:
<ul>
<li><strong>Low</strong> – Only hold Toxic and Angry comments</li>
<li><strong>Medium</strong> – Hold Toxic, Angry, and Sarcastic comments (Recommended)</li>
<li><strong>High</strong> – Hold all except Friendly, Questioning, and Neutral</li>
<li><strong>Custom</strong> – Choose specific tones to auto-hold</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>When a comment is submitted, MoodModerator sends it to OpenAI for analysis</li>
<li>The AI returns a tone classification and confidence score</li>
<li>Based on your strictness settings, the plugin decides whether to hold the comment</li>
<li>Sentiment data is saved and displayed throughout the WordPress admin</li>
<li>You can review held comments and make final moderation decisions</li>
</ol>

MoodModerator – AI Comment Moderation & Sentiment Analysis

Automatically detect and moderate negative comments using AI. Keep your WordPress community positive with intelligent comment moderation.

Scott Reilly

<p>This plugin prevents comments from registered users (or, alternatively, those with specified capabilities) from ever going into the moderation queue or getting automatically marked as spam, regardless of the apparent spamminess of the comment.</p>
<p>To be recognized as a registered user, the user must be logged into your site at the time they post their comment.</p>
<p>This plugin assumes that you trust your registered users. It will automatically approve any comment made by registered users, even if the comment stinks of spam. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not allow users to register themselves (uncheck the setting “Anyone can register” in the WordPress admin under Settings -> General).</p>
<p>You can still allow open registration, whereby these “subscribers” are moderated as usual, while other more privileged users do not get moderated. The plugin provides a filter, ‘c2c_never_moderate_registered_users_caps’, which allows you to specify the roles and capabilities that can bypass moderation. See the FAQ for an example.</p>
<p>This plugin is a partial successor to my now-defunct Never Moderate Admins or Post Author plugin. In addition to preventing admins and the post’s author from being moderated, that plugin also allowed you to prevent registered users from being moderated. WordPress has long since integrated that functionality, so the main thrust of that plugin became moot. However, the ability to never moderate registered users is still a valid need that requires this plugin.</p>

<p>Developer documentation can be found in <a href="https://github.com/coffee2code/never-moderate-registered-users/blob/master/DEVELOPER-DOCS.md" rel="nofollow ugc">DEVELOPER-DOCS.md</a>. That documentation covers the numerous hooks provided by the plugin. Those hooks are listed below to provide an overview of what’s available.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>c2c_never_moderate_registered_users_caps</code>     : Customize the capabilities that are automatically trusted, any one of which a user must have in order to never get moderated.</li>
<li><code>c2c_never_moderate_registered_users_approved</code> : Customize granular control for whether a comment by a registered user that would otherwise be moderated or marked as spam should automatically be approved.</li>
</ul>


Never Moderate Registered Users


I love this minimal plugins that do exactly what is expected, without unuseful stuff.Is incredible that this small feature is not natively supported by WordPress


Do exactly what it say

Never moderate or mark as spam comments made by registered users, regardless of the apparent spamminess of the comment.
