What it does
Pre-moderation quietly kills your site's conversations - comments sit in a queue, users wait for approval, and your team burns time moderating. The Real Person Badge fixes that. CleanTalk verifies every commenter in the background and publishes real people instantly - so conversations happen in real time. Verified authors earn a green "Real Person" badge next to their name. Bots are filtered out silently.

It was built based on learnings from Facebook & Google, while trying to make a language that makes it simple for anti-spam analysts to quickly (and safely) deploy rules to production. Unfortunately it looks like the Twitter event feed is temporarily down (they're blocking it, possibly as part of shutting down the API on Thursday).
