2.3.0 - 2025-11-23

This release introduces the SyntaxBase Moderation Microservice, a fully-featured, scalable comment moderation system. It combines rule-based, transformer-based, and large language model reasoning for automatic toxicity classification and detailed content analysis. The service can detect multiple toxicity levels and provide reasoning for flagged content.

The microservice is fully Dockerized and orchestrated via docker-compose, allowing flexible scaling and fault isolation across the platform.

Added

  • SyntaxBase Moderation Microservice
    • Multi-level toxicity detection: safe, mild, toxic, severe
    • Hybrid classification pipeline:
      • Classical ML: XGBoost with TF-IDF and numeric text features for fast first-pass classification
      • BERT-based models for semantic understanding and finer toxicity detection
      • ToxicBERT for aggressive or identity-based content
      • LLM fallback for uncertain cases with detailed reasoning
    • Dockerized microservice with independent scaling and fault isolation
    • REST API for moderation results, accessible by admin panel and other services
    • Automated reasoning notes when LLM evaluation is skipped
  • Integration into main SyntaxBase project as a root-level microservice (microservice-moderation)

Improvements

  • Enhanced platform security by centralizing content moderation
  • Standardized API response format for all moderation endpoints
  • Seamless integration with existing user roles and permissions
  • Prepared backend to display moderation results in admin panel

Fixed

  • Various UI/UX bugs

Other

  • Updated CHANGELOG.md to reflect new microservice
  • Updated project structure to include microservice-moderation/
