Auto-moderation (toxicity & spam)

Vuukle scores every incoming comment against two ML classifiers:

  • Toxicity — insults, slurs, harassment.
  • Spam — promotional content, link spam, repeated text.

Each score runs from 0 (definitely fine) to 100 (definitely bad). You set the cut-off at which a comment is sent to the queue or rejected outright.

Configure the thresholds

Open the Vuukle dashboard → pick your site → Site Settings → Comment Widget → Moderation thresholds. Two sliders:

SettingMeaning
Toxicity limit (0–100)Comments scoring above this number are auto-moderated. Lower = stricter. 100 disables.
Spam limit (0–100)Same scale, for the spam classifier.

What happens when a comment exceeds the threshold

By default, comments above the threshold are:

  1. Marked Pending and added to your queue (visible only to moderators).
  2. The author sees a “Your comment is being reviewed” notice.

If you want them auto-rejected (no queue entry) instead, set Site Settings → Comment Widget → Above threshold → Reject in the dashboard.
