Protect Your Server: AI-Powered Sentiment Analysis for Moderation New Stuff

By scarecr0w12, published 6 months ago


The Context Problem

Traditional automod filters are dumb. They look for specific "bad words."

  • User says: "I hate ice cream." -> Banned (contains "hate").
  • User says: "I am going to un-alive you." -> Ignored (no bad words).
    This creates false positives and lets toxic behavior slide. You need an automod that understands Context.

Enter AI Sentiment Analysis

SkynetBot (Tier 1+) integrates with Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze the emotion behind a message, not just the keywords.

How it Works

  1. Analysis: Every message is scored from -1.0 (Very Negative) to +1.0 (Very Positive).
  2. Thresholds: You set the limit.
    • Strict: Block anything below -0.5.
    • Lenient: Only block extreme toxicity (-0.9).
  3. Categories: The AI detects:
    • Toxicity
    • Insults
    • Threats
    • Identity Attacks (Racism/Homophobia)

Configuration

Enable it in Dashboard > Moderation > Sentiment Filter.
You can choose to:

  • Warn: "Hey, cool it down."
  • Delete: Silently remove the message.
  • Mute: Timeout the user for 5 minutes.
    Stop playing whack-a-mole with word lists. Let AI handle the toxicity.
