## Description

Maintaining a culture of online communication in the hands of the users themselves.

The plugin allows you to reduce the load on a moderator of your site. Pre-moderation
of comments available for you: new comments added by users through the standard 
WordPress comment field, will be sent for review to network of moderators. Post-
moderation of comments is also possible: this means that any user can send any violating
comment from the comment feed for review to the network. Based on the results of
this review, the comment status will be set to Approved or Spam.

### _DEMO_

Feel free to use [demo of user moderation](https://moderate-it.net/en/index.php#sec_try).

### _Why ModerateIt plugin?_

 * A network of independent moderators can identify what automatic methods still
   cannot handle and appointed moderators do not have time to cope. For example 
   offtopic, flood, insults, etc.
 * You create conditions for users on your site under which it is not profitable
   to violate:
    - Unauthorized users comment with pre-moderation.
    - Authorized users, if they do not violate, can comment without pre-moderation.
    - Readers can correct violations using post-moderation.
 * A quick introduction to the rules of online communication.
 * The plugin allows you to reduce the load on a comments moderator of your site.

### _Terms of Use_

 * In the course of its work, the plugin sends a user comment for verification to
   network of moderators, and also receives the result of verification through [ModerateIt Net API](https://moderate-it.net/en/connect.php).
 * The network of moderators works on the following principle:
    **_In short_**: 
   A user checks a some comment, other users check his comment or comment selected
   by the user. **_More_**: With pre-moderation, when a site is connected to the
   network of moderators, and a user adding a comment to this site, before that 
   him it is proposed to evaluate for violations several comments received from 
   the network. Among them there is comment, the evaluation of which is not yet 
   known. And there are also comments whose network evaluations are known, and by
   which the network evaluates the objectivity of the user. A biased user is not
   allowed to add a comment. After an objective evaluation, the user can add his
   comment, which also can be sent to the network for verification. Post-moderation
   of comments working on the same principle. A user can pass any comment to the
   network for check. Of course, after checking the comments of others.
 * Users data transferred to the network of moderators is not disclosed.
 * Read the terms of the [User Agreement](https://moderate-it.net/en/agreement.php)
   in more detail.
 * By default, the plugin joins the network with a free public API key. For permanent
   work, we recommend getting [a free personal API key](https://moderate-it.net/en/start.php)
   for your site (access to basic statistics and increased load limits). With the
   free personal API key you can use the network in order that users post only comments
   that contain useful information about the topic of discussion! Also a [paid personal API key](https://moderate-it.net/en/rise.php)
   will allow you to receive additional features: such as extended rule set for 
   post-moderation.
