AI Moderation demonstrates EmDash using Cloudflare-native infrastructure for a practical editorial problem: keeping comment sections and user-generated text safe without outsourcing every decision to a black-box vendor. The upstream package is described as leveraging Workers AI and Llama Guard–style guardrails; verify the exact model and policy knobs in packages/plugins/ai-moderation for your release.

Installation

  1. Confirm your EmDash deployment runs on a stack where Workers AI (or the documented AI backend for this plugin) is available and permitted by your account plan.
  2. Enable the AI Moderation plugin from the EmDash admin or wire it in from the monorepo during development.
  3. Set required secrets and environment variables as described in the plugin README—typically API tokens or bindings that must not be committed to Git.
  4. Smoke-test in a non-production environment: submit benign and edge-case text to confirm moderation decisions and logging behave as expected.

Configuration

You will usually tune:

  • Sensitivity or policy presets — what counts as block versus flag versus allow (exact options depend on the shipped integration).
  • Fallback behavior — when the AI service is unavailable, fail closed (hold for review) or fail open (post with a warning), according to your risk appetite.
  • Audit visibility — whether moderators see scores, categories, or only final decisions.

Example (conceptual): a community blog might auto-publish comments that score below a risk threshold, queue borderline submissions for manual review, and block high-confidence policy violations. Map those thresholds using the controls exposed in admin or config files for your version.

Usage scenarios

  • Publications with comments — reduce moderation load while keeping humans in the loop for ambiguous cases.
  • User-generated submissions — short text attached to forms or pitches where automated triage speeds editorial review.
  • Internal wikis or docs with suggestions — lightweight screening before content goes live.

Operational tips

  • Review false positives regularly; tune thresholds after you have real traffic, not only synthetic tests.
  • Combine with Audit Log if compliance requires traceable decisions on moderated content.
  • Monitor Workers AI usage and latency so moderation stays within budget and UX expectations.
