Cordial
About
Cordial uses machine learning to automatically moderate your WordPress comments. Upon activation, Cordial will analyze and assign a “cordial score” to all comments made on your site. Those that exceed a user-specified threshold will automatically be marked as “pending” on your site. Note that Cordial differes from Akismet, whose focus is SPAM detetction, in that it analyzes post content for potentially aggressive or otherwise unwanted site content.
How it works
When enabled, the Cordial WordPress plugin will send all comments to the cordial server for analysis. Each comment receives a score from 0-100 with a score of 0 being probably benign and 100 being probably offensive. Depending on your site settings (see Dashboard -> Settings -> Cordial) comments meeting specific thresholds can be flagged as “pending” or “trash”.
Examples
Below are some sample comments and their related Cordial score:
* (97) “This site sucks!”
* (91) “I hate you”
* (33) “Why are you being to terrible?”
* (19) “You don’t make any sense”
* (12) “Your response makes no sense”
