We’ve all come across negative comments or ill-sentimental remarks made towards us, be it in real like or online. However, it is visible that hate crimes are more extensive on online platforms as the users have the ability to hide behind an anonymous character. Online platforms are constantly misused by trolls. They are so sure that their actions don’t have consequences.

But our bot is here to make sure they know they’re not doing the right thing!

Wildfire is a discord bot that deals with the issue of negative speech, mean comments and bad language. The bot is capable of filtering out explicit foul language. But there’s more, Wildfire analyses messages and removes any such messages that have a negative sentiment attached to them. This has been made possible using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.

You can also keep count of the number of offenses a certain user has committed and take suitable action. Are users in your channel being vulgar or rude without you noticing? Wildfire is the solution! It will keep track of all the users using profanity and this data is available freely to the server admin.

We all love discord, so let’s make it fun for everyone and keep it safe and positive J
