Ever seen comments like this? (Not about bears)
‘every bear is like this. Polar bears and grizzlies, they all think the same thing. dumb animals.’
Post Comment
Catch it before it's posted. Teach the user why it's wrong. Let them edit and try again.
We aim for thoughtful, engaged conversation.
- Your comment contains logic that seems right, but when looked at doesn't hold together.
- This overgeneralizes all bears as the same, yet individual bears vary. It dismisses any nuanced discussion about them.

Not all people will listen. But some will. And the world will be better for it.
- Your comment will be read by others as rude.
- Calling bears 'dumb animals' is disrespectful and dismissive. It promotes a negative stereotype without any supporting evidence.

Keep Things Relevant
Want comments to stay about the topic of the page or blog they're on? Respectify can do that.
It's configurable. The world isn't binary and neither are our settings.
Disallow What You Don't Want
Got a problem with trolls? Got people repeatedly posting 'good faith' comments that are not? ('What about...', 'I'm only saying that...', 'Not all polar bears...')
Tell Respectify what to disallow. It won't be posted.
Avoid Dog Whistles
Sometimes people write things that sound like they're saying one thing, but their words are 'coded' — to mean something else to some readers.
For example, someone might write: 'Those polar bears are always ruining our porridge.' To most readers, this seems like a complaint about bears and food. But to certain groups, it's actually saying something else entirely. (The real comments are not about bears.)
You can avoid this by telling Respectify what not to allow. Tailor it for your site, topics, and audience.
Spam Protection
We take a completely different — and surprisingly effective — approach to spam detection.
Instead of relying on blacklists or captchas, Respectify uses AI to understand the context and intent of comments. This means it can catch sophisticated spam that traditional methods might miss, while letting genuine comments through without hassle.

It's easy to frame things badly
In the heat of the moment, we don't think clearly.
How will what you write be seen by the other person? Are you really understanding their point, or replying to what you think their point is?
Respectify catches when a comment isn't phrased well. It tells you how and why.
Avoid misunderstandings
Sometimes what we write isn't what we mean.
Respectify can catch when your comment might be misinterpreted, and suggest ways to rephrase it so your meaning is clear.
Promote positive interactions
Respectify can identify comments that contribute positively to the discussion and highlight them.
This encourages a more respectful and engaging community.
Foster a respectful community
By filtering out disrespectful comments and promoting positive ones, Respectify helps create a welcoming environment where users feel safe to express their opinions.
