## Description

This plugin implements ModerateHatespeech.com’s machine learning API to detect and
flag potentially toxic and hateful comments. A configurable threshold can be set
and comments with scores above that threshold will be sent to the moderation queue
for administrative approval.

A free API key from [ModerateHatespeech.com](https://moderatehatespeech.com) is 
required.

### Defining Toxic

We define “Toxic” as “any content a reasonable, PG-13 forum wouldn’t want for content
reasons.”

This does not include:

 * Spam or Advertisements
 * NSFW/Explicit Content
 * Forum-specific Etiquette

This does include:

 * Hate Speech
 * Verbal Insults
 * Slurs Directed Towards a Group

More details on toxicity, as well as model accuracy and bias can be found on [ModerateHatespeech.com](https://moderatehatespeech.com/framework/)

This plugin is part of the ModerateHatespeech project, an initiative to research
and reduce online hate. Use of the API constitues acceptance of [ModerateHatespeech’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policies](https://moderatehatespeech.com/terms-and-privacy).
