Do Not Disturb My Comments AI reads every new comment and asks an AI model one simple question: is this spam?<\/p>\n\n
If the answer is a confident yes, the comment is turned away before it ever reaches your database. You won't find it in your spam folder because it was never saved. If the comment looks genuine, it's approved straight away, so real readers aren't left waiting. If you'd rather read every comment first, you can switch that off.<\/p>\n\n
The checking is done by Jev, a decision model made by TypeSafe AI and offered through Cloudflare. Jev doesn't write text. It returns a probability, which makes it fast; usually well under a second.<\/p>\n\n
What it does:<\/p>\n\n
What it looks at when judging a comment:<\/p>\n\n
Nothing, for most sites. The plugin comes with a free built-in spam-check service, so there are no accounts or keys to set up.<\/p>\n\n
The built-in service checks up to 20 comments a minute for each site. That's far more than most blogs ever get. Comments over that limit aren't lost. They simply go through your normal WordPress moderation.<\/p>\n\n
If you'd rather use your own Cloudflare account, you can. You'll need a small prepaid balance on Cloudflare's AI Gateway, because Jev is a third party model and Cloudflare's free Workers AI allowance doesn't cover it.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin sends comments to an outside service to decide whether they're spam. Which service depends on the connection you choose on the settings page. Nothing is sent to either one until a site administrator saves the settings page.<\/p>\n\n
After that, a request is made each time someone who can't moderate comments submits a comment. Each request sends:<\/p>\n\n
The commenter's email address and IP address are not sent.<\/p>\n\n
Comments are sent to the Do Not Disturb My Comments AI spam-check service at Comments are sent straight to Cloudflare's Workers AI API at Because comment content is shared with these services, consider mentioning it in your site's privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n That's it. New comments from visitors are checked from then on. Nothing is checked until you save the settings page for the first time.<\/p>\n\n It can happen, though it should be rare. Only comments Jev scores at 85% or higher are blocked. Very short comments, or ones that include a link to the commenter's own site, are the most likely to be misjudged.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin steps aside. The comment goes through your normal WordPress moderation settings, exactly as if the plugin wasn't installed.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. There's a fair use limit of 20 comments a minute per site. Anything over that goes to your normal WordPress moderation.<\/p><\/dd>\n Requests fail, and comments fall back to normal WordPress moderation. Top up your balance and checking resumes.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, by default. Comments Jev considers genuine are approved straight away, even if you hold comments for moderation. That also skips the other moderation rules in your Discussion settings, like holding comments with too many links. To read every comment yourself first, untick \"Let the plugin approve genuine comments automatically\" on the settings page, and genuine comments will go through your Discussion settings as usual.<\/p><\/dd>\n Spam protection switches off. Your settings are kept, so when you or anyone else reactivates it, just open the settings page and click \"Turn on spam protection\".<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Anyone who can moderate comments skips the check.<\/p><\/dd>\nhttps:\/\/dndmc-proxy.chidideveloper.workers.dev\/v1\/check<\/code>. It's run by the plugin author on Cloudflare Workers. The service passes the comment to Jev, a model by TypeSafe AI, through Cloudflare, and sends back only a spam score. Comments are not stored by the service. The service sees your web server's IP address, which it uses to apply the fair use limit.<\/p>\n\n\n
Your own Cloudflare account<\/h4>\n\n
https:\/\/api.cloudflare.com\/client\/v4\/accounts\/{your-account-id}\/ai\/run<\/code>, which runs them on Jev. Usage is billed to your Cloudflare account. The Cloudflare and TypeSafe AI links above apply.<\/p>\n\n\n
