Civil Comments is a platform that brings real-world social cues to comments sections via crowd-sourced moderation and powerful community management tools. Civil Comments is the first commenting platform specifically designed to improve the way people treat each other online.
Unlike others who have thrown up their hands and accepted that the comments sections of the Internet would either be dominated by bullies and trolls, or become a moderation burden for a site's editors, the team at Civil is attempting to solve the problem with community moderation. It is an exciting new take on a widespread problem, and Chromatic is thrilled to bring Civil Comments integration to Drupal with a new contrib module.
It should be noted (and is on the project page!) that there is not currently a free version of Civil Comments. For the time being, it is only available with a subscription as Civil continues work on the platform, but from what I understand a free version is on the horizon.
A special thanks to Christopher Torgalson and Alanna Burke, whose contributions helped get this project off the ground!
