It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/serious-toxic-comments/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2090613) # Serious Toxic Comments By [Jordi Cabot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softmodeling/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/serious-toxic-comments.zip) * [Details](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/serious-toxic-comments/#description) * [Reviews](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/serious-toxic-comments/#reviews) * [Installation](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/serious-toxic-comments/#installation) * [Development](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/serious-toxic-comments/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/serious-toxic-comments/) ## Description Toxic comments are becoming a major challenge to have meaningful online discussions. This plugin uses a pre-trained toxic classifier from [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) to classify a comment as toxic. See more technical details on the quality of the model [here](https://medium.com/tensorflow/text-classification-using-tensorflow-js-an-example-of-detecting-offensive-language-in-browser-e2b94e3565ce). Once a comment is flagged as toxic, the comment is blocked and the plugin alerts the comment author and asks to modify the text before trying again. In the default _Settings->Discussion_ page you can enable the detection of toxic comments and define the threshold confidence level for the prediction. ## Screenshots * [[ * Configuration settings for the plugin * [[ * Example of a blocked comment ## Installation Install and Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## FAQ How did you train the predictive model? We didn’t. We are using a pre-trained model provided by tensorflow itself. Can I improve or personalize the prediction by manually training the toxicity classifier on my site? No. The classifier is pre-trained. But you could build your own classifier based on the [code to create and train] (https://github.com/conversationai/conversationai- models/tree/master/experiments) this one What external JavaScript scripts does the plugin import? The plugin relies on tensorflow.js to analyze the comment on the browser. Therefore, the plugin enqueues tensorflow, the sentence encoder and the toxicity model. Nevertheless, the JS code to execute the actual comment classification is only added to single post pages with comments (and the toxicity settings) enabled. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/80fcd177e9f7fb0a9c7f8025f6bf16c64eec26e63eed742fcdb89458d880027e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Stop the trolls](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-the-trolls/)󠁿 [seriouswp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seriouswp/) 02 Jona 2020 Very simple way to block some nasty comments to get to your blog. Also, good example of integrating ML in a WP plugin that I hope help others realize how easy would be to integrate other pre-trained models as part of cool ML-based WP plugins [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/serious-toxic-comments/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Serious Toxic Comments” is open source software.
