Doc Pop’s WordPress News Drop is a weekly report on the most pressing WordPress news. When the news drops, I will pick it up and deliver it right to you.

[Ian Dunn](https://iandunn.name) has created a new WordPress plugin that uses neural networks to help identify “toxic” comments. If a comment scores poorly, a message will pop-up suggesting that the comment’s author consider changing their wording to be less toxic.

You can download and install the [Compassionate Comments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/compassionate-comments/) plugin from the repository here.
