## ማብራሪያ

Whereas the built in moderation just looks for keywords wherever they appear in 
the comments, Better Moderation allows you to define if it should just be the username,
url, email, comment, ip, useragent or all of them.
 It also allows you to define
if when looking for “word” whether you should match “WordPress”. Finally it lets
you set reasons why words have been added to the list, allowing you to quickly realise
why a comment has been added to the moderation queue.

## መጫን

Recommend you use the built in plugin uploader which comes with WordPress, but if
you prefer the manual way

 1. Upload `argh_moderation.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
