## Description

Gaali in Hindi means Slang which is Toxicity in today’s jargon

Stop toxicity and form slang – Gaali effectively eliminates harmful and unwanted
comments, preemptively preventing any potential damage.

## FAQ

### After posting a comment, why does it still say it’s in moderation ? Isn’t this supposed to be automated ?

Yes, it’s automated and there is no need for the wordpress admin to approve a good
comment.
 But to validate a comment for foul language and slangs, which is called
a toxicity check, it takes time, like many many seconds, to detect it.

### Why does it take so much time for a toxicity check ?

The toxicity check connects to TensorFlow, here using [TensorFlowJS](https://www.tensorflow.org/js),
which is a Google’s product and the data sets used are on Google’s servers.

### So this connects to some 3rd party backend-service ?

Yes, it connects to an API at toxicity.co.in which is again, my (free) service which
runs on Deno at Deno Deploy – deno.com which in turn goes to Google for returning
the results of toxicity. Sometimes it takes a minute or more to return the result
and at times, it even times out. If it times out the admin has to manually validate
the comment in wp-admin.

### Will this plugin remain free forever ?

I want it to remain free forever and open-sourced.
 There is so much of free stuff
on the internet and even open-sourced. I want to be part of the community and don’t
intend on commercializing it. But if toxicity service at my deno.com account take
a hit on many requests, I will then have to shell out minimum $10/mo ($2 per million
requests per month, $0.30/GiB outbound data transfer) Even then that’s okay and 
I can fund that minimum amount, but if it goes beyong $10 a month, then I will seek
funding of some sort.
