Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Disqus staff and previous consumers.
I believe our posts get removed and we get banned, even called $#*!s from moderators--of whom you would think would act more like the referee and not the instigator--because each discussion has an agenda. As long as you go along with what everyone else who is still in the discussion is saying, you are fine. However, dare express an alternate opinion--of which you may not even realize you are doing--you are told you are trolling (which means you are purposely writing something meant to cause disruption). Therefore as a troll, your post is removed. If you then ask why your post was deleted, you are now called a $#*! and are banned from the discussion entirely. And when you become confused as to what just happened for no reason, especially after a moderator who uplifted several of your opinions disagreed with one and simply deleted it, you finally find someone in Disquis management. It is then you are told to take it up with the moderator who banned you or another moderator on the page. You are also told the moderators have free-run to delete anything and ban anyone they want to and that management WILL NOT step in or interfere with a moderator's decision, even if that moderator is belittling you and is cursing at you. Finally, if you decide to appeal to another moderator thinking you will get a rational response, you are told you "threatened" the moderator who banned you because you went to management. Then are you threatened with getting banned completely off of Disquis for life? It's as simple and as ignorant as that!
Well, it's hard to retain customers, despite offering free services, if you censor valid and legitimate speech. The 'updated' moderating tools at Disqus have created a censorship free for all. FAIL. Websites should allow open reader posting, or not allow that. It's one thing to remove spammers and such, it's quite another to censor legitimate speech you happen to disagree with. Disqus has clearly become a beloved tool of censors, which is why We The People are waking up to this and asking others to boycott Disquss.
This question is not a well formed question. It's about net locations, IP and MAC addresses, logins and emails. You can't force someone to use their name. If such a standard was imposed, people would merely make up fake names. Better to just let them have the random anonymized handles they prefer. Do you know how risky it is to post online with your real identity? There is no limit to data retention with many of these companies online. As the major data brokers continue to consolidate and violate privacy with indefinite data retention, you'll see everything you've ever done online, one day in a central repository of data. In the US we're seeing a beta test roll out of something similar to the chinese people rating programs, taxing dissidents, denying participations of citizens if they don't agree with government, etc. The better question is why can't we be completely anonymous, and why does Disqus need to track and record our IP addresses?
What you are describing is more the left then Trump. But I guess since you are probably a leftist reality looks different to you. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/trumps-list-289-accomplishments-in-just-20-months-relentless-promise-keeping MAGA #walkaway
Facebook has blocked me for three days and all of a sudden Disgust won't let me comment anywhere... says my email and password don't match. WTF?!
Does polly want a cracker? POLLY HATES CRACKERS! (Especially white ones) That's the attitude of Disqus. It's okay to hate whites but not okay toi point out true statistics of blacks.
The use of google's CAPTCHA by Disqus not only makes logging in impossible but also makes users wonder WHY a site like Disqus would ABUSE its users like this.
