ChatterGate

ChatterGate is a web-based comment system plugin that focuses on one thing: making comment sections usable again without forcing heavy-handed censorship. It combines lightweight identity signals (email/phone optional, passkeys supported) with adaptive friction (rate limits, link throttling, first-time commenter cooldowns) and transparent moderation queues. It includes a drop-in widget for websites plus an admin console where moderators can review flagged comments, see conversation context, and apply site-wide rules. An AI layer helps triage obvious spam, duplicate posts, and coordinated brigading patterns, but it never auto-deletes by default—everything is explainable and reversible. The product is built for publishers and SaaS docs/blogs that want engagement but are tired of spam bots, SEO link drops, and toxic drive-by comments. It’s realistic: it won’t “solve” toxicity, but it will materially reduce moderator workload and spam volume.
