MoodModerator – AI Comment Moderation & Sentiment Analysis

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.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Sentiment Analysis – Uses OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini for accurate tone detection
• Automatic Moderation – Hold negative comments for review based on configurable strictness levels
• Hybrid Tone Approach – Combines predefined tones with AI-suggested new tones
• Comprehensive Analytics – View sentiment breakdown by post and overall statistics
• Dashboard Widget – 30-day sentiment summary right on your WordPress dashboard
• Comments Table Integration – See tone badges directly in your Comments admin table
• Posts Table Integration – View average sentiment for each post at a glance
• Advanced Caching – Minimizes API costs by caching sentiment results
• Detailed Logging – Track all API calls, errors, and moderation decisions
• Configurable Strictness Levels:
  • Low – Only hold Toxic and Angry comments
  • Medium – Hold Toxic, Angry, and Sarcastic comments (Recommended)
  • High – Hold all except Friendly, Questioning, and Neutral
  • Custom – Choose specific tones to auto-hold

How It Works

1. When a comment is submitted, MoodModerator sends it to OpenAI for analysis
2. The AI returns a tone classification and confidence score
3. Based on your strictness settings, the plugin decides whether to hold the comment
4. Sentiment data is saved and displayed throughout the WordPress admin
5. You can review held comments and make final moderation decisions

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
