Disqus

What a hypocritical left wing site. If your views do not conform to the collective you will be blocked on this site. Do not waste your time posting / commenting on this site or ABC news. Just like the socialist view and agenda that these sites promote, they run their sites likewise. In addition there is no way to contact them to discuss or inquire as to why you were blocked. What a bunch of closed minded hypocrites.

It's a sexual vibration toy for the left to get deep down in their pants. They use this platform to 'feel good' about themselves and hijack conservative sites. If you log out you get 'good' comments but if you have an account you get bots and spam replies. Disqus needs to be shut down.

America needs to start attacking government institutions and make the Capital Riots seem like running around the pool with scissors.

If you manage websites, take my advice. Do not use Disqus. I have read of far too many instances of them deleting comments that reportedly violated no user guidelines. I had originally discounted many of these claims by users until it happened to several of my comments. If you want your readers true opinions avoid until they have fixed this issue.

Stay away from Disqus! The moderators basically run the forums. If they don't agree with your opinion regardless if it was written in good taste, they will delete it. Most of them appear to have an agenda. Otherwise, why would they delete comments rather than respond to them. The moderators also get to comment on the subjects. Some of the moderators are very rude and mouthy. If you call them out on it, they just delete your comments. After one moderator made a comment, I asked them a question. After a couple back and forth comments, they started with the insults and name calling. Next came them deleting whichever comments they wanted. Even ones that were in a discussion with other people. When you flag their comment, nothing is done. It's a complete waste of time to complain. I've complained several times and have never gotten a response. The whole experience is very aggravating.

Wish I had seen these reviews before opening an account. Several months ago I came across a site with blatantly false and potentially harmful information that I felt should be corrected. Since I had deleted my Facebook account over a year ago, I needed to open a Disqus account in order to post a comment making a correction. There was nothing hostile or inappropriate about my comment. I merely stated the facts. I didn't sign in again until recently, only to find that my comment had been "removed" for no valid reason. I promptly deleted my account. After reading these reviews, I realize that my post had probably been blocked from the beginning, unbeknownst to me.

Once in a while you can'''t post anything fun for the 2016 election, This dept of theirs is rude and selfish to their customers, They need to re do their spam policy and only remove spam that is porn or gore. I would not join this website for any business reason because they may consider your business adds spam!
And they will remove it at any time!

I have had my post flagged as spam, presumably because it has paragraphs. Others have experienced the same. There is a somewhat hard-to-find button to report it, but 3 to 4 days later, no change or response. Even so, I might have given 2 stars, but I took another off as clicking on my alerts on the Disqus icon brings to an ad page, and I have to click Back and click the icon again. An irritating exploitation of users.

Hello. After spending time editing a comment over & over before posting it, I soon realized that the comment, as well as many others had not been posted. Instead it was saved in a file attached to my profile and marked as spam. To make matters worse a sentence that read, "Thanks, we'll work on getting this corrected." Was NOT followed up & rectified. After spending hours searching for a solution, there is none in sight. Surprisingly the comments that started this problem was posted on abc.com & I made it known that I support President Trump. Never did I feel that a news website would be bias. I contact the website to fix the problem to no avail, making me very suspicious.

I won't rant...

But lets get past the "I can write something that appears anywhere in the world" stuff.

Disqus does massive shadow censorship (log out, check your comment is publically visible) and also has big sync issues. Your comment might not show up for an hour or two.

Whenever you post content. Anywhere. Log out, and check your content is still publically visible.

They are probably one of the worse censorship platforms today. They hide behind the bogus "hate speech" argument, using it as a club to hide behind to censor mildly conservative views.

They need to go in front of Congress with ABC News, youTube, Quora, The HIll and a few others. Disgusting. Something needs to be done before they destroy our country.

The newer iteration of this platform is horrible. It flags half of my comments as SPAM. Why? Because when discussing a subject I support my position with quotes from published peer-reviewed studies. These quotes often get repeated and the system thinks it is SPAM. This is a much higher quality level of discussion than is typical, it is absurd to mark it as spam. Do they want the discussions filled with mindless trolling or quality research?

(and the support people do nothing to help me)

Every single time I post, I get marked as spam, and when I send it back for review to have the mark of spam removed, they dont do anything. I just see this next to the comment for weeks "Thanks, we'll work on getting this corrected.".

POS chat software. Do not use!

I comment on a blog that uses them. 2 days with no updates or notifications. Many people have complained at their customer support. Call their number in San Francisco and no answer. I guess I will stop wasting my time commenting at the blog as I receive no feedback.

I was commenting on an article in The Hill, and I was disagreeing with some of the far left comments I was reading. Then suddenly I get a message that says I have been banned on Disqus as an alleged "spam account". I am a private individual making comments on a "news" (propaganda) site, not a spam account. How this decision was arrived at is baffling, except that it is a cover story for censorship.

Well if you go on ABC News & the comment section, you are forced to use Disqus. Clearly, it is Very Left Wing controlled. If you even Try to point out a Republican point of view you will get kicked out. Clearly, you can not cuss or say something alluding to being sexual. But they will kick you out for no reason what so ever for not supporting the left.

Disqus started censoring "common sense or conservative" posts around 3 years ago. This was the beta test for what we have been seeing over the last 9 months with Twatter and FB censoring people. Stop using these websites, apps or feeds and they will die out just like MySpace.

I have been trying for about 3 years to comment on Conservative Woman. Constantly rebuffed. Their log in instructions are ambiguous, and my Captcha selections are always wrong. Obviously Disqus sees me as a deplorable little uneducated person

I've been commenting on news stories for some time. Disqus has some issues with letting vulgar, obscene or comments that call for violence go free. You don't even have to use symbols for vulgarity, the actual swear words are allowed. Moderators are non existant, bullies abound. Really not worth using anymore.

I was permanently blocked from Disqus for making one ironic comment that obviously rubbed someone the wrong way. I am a professional New York playwright, former newspaper reporter, columnist and editor, intelligent commenter with lots of fans and followers, and yet it appears I am no longer able to contribute to some of my favorite political blogs. Who are these people, and who gave them permission to control editorial content? It's embarrassing and infuriating after a long and distinguished career to be censored by some nameless nobody who may not even speak English.

One of the worst possible places for a business to use. They will drive customers from your venue. Far left-leaning, they allow obvious spammers and trolls to run rampant, while choking off any customer who dares to use common English expressions. Whatever is deemed politically correct at the moment figures heavily into their algorithms. They are driven by politics, and their goal is to make any conservative voice extinct. Using this company is the surest way to strangle all free thought, or honest opinions on your website. You will hear only lies, and 70% of your potential customer base will simply erase you, and forget you ever existed. Never use Disqus.

2.24 out of 5 is appropriate for Disqus.
Level 1 support is made of "Cookie" moderators whose canned response is allow ALL cookies as an answer to most problems.
Level 2 support says they will look into and even try to duplicate the issue but are about as credible as the "cookie moderators" responses… wait, wait, wait and respond with a "can not duplicate" even though you supply them with your userid, authorize them to use it and provide before, during and after problem screen shots.
NOT an additional web resource I would recommend to any web developer. To many issues encountered with different web browsers that Disqus passes off to websites when they control user login and use environments.

Ever since our local newspaper starting using disqus for comments it is a chore literally to read comments or write comments. The web page keeps refreshing every few seconds and takes forever to reload. After a while you just want to give up. Comments are necessary especially now with decisions being made with regard to COVID19 within our state that effect all of us. This service is freaking horrible.

Disqus is fine, if you're left wing and woke. If not, they will censor anything you post if it goes against their left agenda. I believe everyone should have an equal say, left and right. No one should be censored for their feelings or beliefs. If you're going to post on Disqus, then you might as well post on Facebook and Twitter... they all censor any type of conservatism.
