ContentGuard — Content Moderation

Content Moderation for Communities & Developers (Scalable)

ContentGuard — Content Moderation launched on February 18, 2026 with 2 votes, #6,501 of 16,628 launches that month.

What it does

Built a moderation API where you control the filtering strictness. Kids server? Set dial to 1, blocks everything. Friends trash talking? Level 3 allows cursing, blocks hate speech. Adult community? Level 5 only catches slurs. Same API, change one number (1-5) per server. Also faster/cheaper than AWS: <20ms vs 200ms, $9/mo vs $50+ for 50K requests. Built this because my Discord bot needed different rules for different servers. Live demo: contentmod.netlify.app

The fastest, most affordable moderation API with a unique 5-level filter dial. From family-safe to minimal — you're in control. No enterprise contracts, no minimums. No other moderation API lets you tune filtering this precisely. One parameter controls everything — from blocking every bad word to only blocking hate speech. Three steps from sign-up to moderating your first piece of content. // Moderate text with dial level 3 (General) const response = await fetch ( 'https://web-production-c37f9.up.railway.app/moderate' , { method : 'POST' , headers : { 'Content-Type' : 'application/json' }, body : JSON.stringify ({ text : "Your user's message here" , dial : 3 , // 1=Family Safe → 5=Minimal…from contentmod.netlify.app

  • Respectify – A comment moderator that teaches people to argue betterFeb 2026 · respectify.org · ▲224

    My partner, Nick Hodges, and I, David Millington, have been on the Internet for a very long time -- since the Usenet days. We’ve seen it all, and have long been frustrated by bad comments, horrible people, and discouraging discussions. We've also been around places where the discussion is wonderful and productive. How to get more of the latter and less of the former? Current moderation tools just seem to focus on deletion and banning. Wouldn’t it be helpful to encourage productive discussion and teach people how to discuss and argue (in the debate sense) better? A year ago we started…

  • The Profanity APIJan 2026 · the-profanity-api.com · ▲9

    The problem with existing content moderation: Every developer who's built profanity filtering knows the frustration. Traditional filters either flag "assistant" because it contains "ass," or miss obviously toxic content because they're just matching keywords. They can't tell the difference between "I'll destroy you in this game" (friendly trash talk) and an actual threat. How The Profanity API solves this: I built a 5-layer detection pipeline that analyzes content progressively: Blocklist (L0): Your custom blocklist for instant flagging Static (L1): Exact match against known profanity…

  • Talanoa▲343

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
