## 描述

Catfish Wrangler checks new comments, reviews, and uploaded images against the Content
Guard API and flags anything suspicious with a color-coded badge in your WordPress
admin — right in the Comments list and the Media Library, alongside content you 
already review.

**What it checks for:**

 * Classic romance-scam language in comments and profile-style text (e.g. “stationed
   overseas,” refusal to video call, requests to move off-platform or send money)
 * Generic template-style fake review language
 * Whether an uploaded image looks AI-generated (via a live visual AI-detection 
   model)
 * Whether an image is missing the camera metadata a real photo would normally have
 * Whether a profile’s photos are inconsistent with each other (some carrying real
   camera metadata, others not)

**Safe by default.** Out of the box, Catfish Wrangler only _flags_ — it never holds
or blocks a comment automatically. You review the flagged items yourself. Once you’ve
seen it work correctly on your own site, you can turn on auto-hold (with a configurable
sensitivity threshold) from Settings > Catfish Wrangler.

**Requires an API key.** Catfish Wrangler analyzes content using the Content Guard
API, a paid, metered service — this plugin does not work without an account and 
an API key, which you enter yourself under Settings > Catfish Wrangler. Nothing 
is sent anywhere until you configure a key.

#### Why this matters

Dating profiles, marketplace listings, and review sections increasingly attract 
AI-generated photos and scripted scam text. This plugin gives site owners and moderators
a heads-up on suspicious content without having to manually cross-check every submission.

### External Services

This plugin connects to the **Content Guard API** to analyze comment/review text
and uploaded images for signs of fraud or AI-generation.

 * **What is sent:** the text of new comments/reviews, and newly uploaded image 
   files, are sent to the Content Guard API for analysis.
 * **When:** only when this plugin is active and configured with an API key — every
   new comment/review and every new image upload is sent for analysis at the time
   it’s submitted.
 * **Why:** to compute the suspicion signals (scam-language patterns, AI-generation
   likelihood, metadata checks) shown as a badge in your admin area.
 * **Service URL:** the API endpoint is configurable under Settings > Catfish Wrangler(
   defaults to `https://content-guard-production-24a7.up.railway.app`).
 * **Provider terms:** [Terms of Use](https://content-guard-production-24a7.up.railway.app/terms)/
   [Privacy & Data Handling](https://content-guard-production-24a7.up.railway.app/privacy)—
   this also discloses that image analysis is partly performed by a sub-processor,
   Hive Moderation ([thehive.ai](https://thehive.ai)), under their own terms.

No data is sent to the Content Guard API unless you have entered an API key in the
plugin settings — this is an explicit opt-in step.

## 安装

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/catfish-wrangler`, or install it
    directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings > Catfish Wrangler and enter your Content Guard API key (sign up
    for one at the API’s signup endpoint — see the plugin’s support page for details).
 4. Leave “Automatically hold flagged comments” off at first, and watch the Catfish
    Wrangler column in Comments/Media for a while before turning it on.

## 常见问题

### Does this work without an API key?

No. The plugin needs a Content Guard API key to analyze anything. Without one, it
does nothing (fails open — comments and uploads behave exactly as they would without
this plugin installed).

### Will this block my users’ comments?

Not by default. Out of the box it only adds a badge to the admin list. It only holds
comments for moderation if you explicitly turn on “Automatically hold flagged comments”
under Settings > Catfish Wrangler.

### Does this work with WooCommerce reviews?

Yes — WooCommerce product reviews are stored as WordPress comments, so they’re covered
automatically.

### What happens if the API is unreachable?

The plugin fails open: if the Content Guard API can’t be reached, comments and uploads
are treated exactly as if the plugin weren’t installed. Nothing is ever blocked 
due to an API outage.
