I love the fact that I can go on Disqus and not constantly be set upon by whiny trolls who constantly spew hate speech because I can just block their constant vitriol from my sight with the handy blocking feature! Not to mention that most of the moderators there are wonderful people who know and ban a troll immediately when they see one, thank god. You can even make your own forums for free! What more could you want?
Don't waste your time with Disqus. No matter how polite or benign a comment it is, their algorithms are designed to remove them. All opinions must agree with the algorithms. I only commented that I lived in a state where tornadoes are frequent, but I have never actually seen one, myself, and Disqus found this offensive.
I can go comment on Fox News articles but I am the only one that sees them and I can prove it with pictures of comments an no responses to mine! I use to get lots of responses! If anyone is suing them I want in! I will continue to gather evidence I am being censored! Go to Www.foxnews.com. Read the comments on Young People are quitting their jobs in droves. Here's why... If you can see any comments by sislt777 please let me know because I get no replies an no likes or dislikes! I don't believe anyone sees my comments but me! I have gone to Disgus to get help an they say there's no problem! But I believe I am still banned from commenting!
I comment regularly on China newsmostly by contributing statistics (which come mostly from sources like the WTO, the CIA, IMF, etc.
My comments are always polite and relevant and Disqus blocks them without permission of the site owners.
When I inform the site owners they apologize and de-block me but often Disqus ignores them.
The situation is so ridiculous that this week Disqus blocked a comment I made on Treehugger.com, an environment site, about handling bees and wasps that are drowning in swim pools!
The main problem with Disqus is that they allow the trolls to overrun a site to annoy the other posters, call them names, and shut down the conversation. Trolls seem to have no life other than to prove how annoying they can be and overwhelm any opposing views.
I just got banned from a site with no reasoning behind it what so ever. I see things from the most racist remarks to death threats on it. I've done neither of the latter but me simply implying defending celebrity actions like pedophilia/molestation/drugs/etc isn't okay and I get banned. Better yet I know for a fact they IP banned me, can't talk to anyone else nor find out who banned me. So if some $#*! wants to go on a power trip or shut up anyone who doesn't agree with them thats fantastic. I get its their site but the fact you have no way to appeal or find out why its laughably stupid and straight up censorship.
If you read this far, don't go to fmovies they're scum.
I visited a few different news sites that use disquist for the commentary underneath the articles. My comments keep getting Automatically deleted. When I go to my profile it shows me the comments but it says that they were "Auto detected for spam" and deleted. It's pretty frustrating because I never spam comments. However I've seen other users write the exact same comments over and over under some of the articles and those are not even deleted. In my opinion they're just using this as a way of censorship to delete comments from people who they don't agree with what they're saying. I've stopped visiting any sites that use disquis for their comments. Disquis can go f themselves. I will not be sad if some hackers crash their systems.
Tip for consumers:
Do not even waste your time. disquis will just delete your conversations automatically if they disagree with your comments. Like a bunch of woke antifa faciststs
Since I read a lot of comments from people here claiming that this website often bans or censors conservatives, I want to share why I deleted it. I came across some commenters who have over 30,000 comments, mostly showering liberals with vulgarity. So I made a few comments to them. They weren't nice, also not nearly on the same level as the comments I was responding to. They would get deleted every time. I don't know if individual moderators all have their own weird system for deciding who to censor, but the system needs to be looked at.
All you have to do is to look at the impossibility of trying to find out why you were banned from Disquis, To realize that its like dealing with the Nazi party. All someone has to do is to flag you because they dont like your opinion and if they are conservative, then you are banned, with no recourse.
If there is a class action suit against them then please let me know because I will contribute and join
As soon as you try to mention zionist globalists and their nwo secret societies you get banned. Disqus is just a speech censoring website that promotes nwo zionism by protecting it from criticism but doesn't mind discussion about jihad and death cults.
Tip for consumers:
If your pro zionist and nwo then this is the commenting site you need.
Disqus was embedded in Breitbart and many other platforms. When Disqus didn't like comments that didn't fit with their libtard ideology and realised they couldn't control (censor) them anymore, Disqus removed itself from these bulletin boards. What a hateful approach to life.
There are a lot of hosting sites out there. They succeed or fail by being reliable platforms for peoples views and opinions without jading the input or censoring the output. It is their reliability as a forum that makes them useful. Imagine the Roman Forum policed by guys with truncheons?
Disqus has failed in this basic requirement. It skews what you can see and censors what is provided.
They are shadowbanning and marking as spam political viewpoints they don't agree with. They are intellectual children whose ideas cannot stand up to any debate. They need to be sued out of existence, but they have that Google money so they will continue to perpetuate a false narrative echo chamber until the US Constitution is completely undermined at the behest of their Globalist Masters. I just found out not only are some of my comments across various sites such as The Hill shadowbanned, but my last 20 comments over the course of several months were all removed as "Spam". My comments were not spam they were political debate. Pathetic. This is cowardice manifest.
Recently on $#*!ute and other free speech platforms, comments with certain words have been "held for moderation" for the website owner. The problem is that they aren't really being held for moderation. Instead, Disqus is automatically removing comments without the website's consent based on how they feel fit. The moderation team of $#*!ute would never and has never asked for these comments to be censored. Please, do not use Disqus. Disqus has partnered with Google. Having a company this vile own your comment section is not worth the convenience.
Disqus makes you sign in over and over at each site it purports to manage. The sign ins don't work. The email verification pages don't work. Disqus doesn't do what it says it will. Just more inept garbage clogging up the internet.
I love using Disqus! The ease of commenting and the ability to follow threads, combined with the creation of a recoverable history of your own comments make this the best comments service I've encountered.
Disqus has been a great resource for those who follow the TOS- until recently.
It is now deleting posts that express sourced opinions with which some anonymous person does not agree.
Googling "Disqus" and "censorship" or "Disqus" and "complaints" suggests this is a problem of a scope that would interest an investigative reporter. Conciliatory requests for explanations are met with silence.
My opinion of this resource is now a 180 as a result of this lack of transparency.
I quit using discus. They only allow radical right views. If you state something contrary to their mind thought, they go after you personally, when I read something, and want to say something, and when it's Disqus, I just don't bother.
A couple of times I have had posts that were removed. The first one was a conservative political viewpoint with no curse words, no name calling and it was removed. The second review was removed because I quoted a celebrity's opinion on women. Instead of using the B word which rhymes with itch that the celebrity used, I put 2 asterisks in the place of a couple of the letters in the B word. That got my comment removed. One of my "followers" turns out to be one of the Disqus moderators.
I googled a suspicious number that called and left a comment on this site. It immediately connected to my facebook, posted my name, etc. and I never joined. Now I cannot unjoin because it will not send me a link to reset password, has stolen my personal info and there is NO ONE to email to get help. STAY AWAY, total scam.
I love this time you can write on the different cites you can agree or disagree or agree to what is said. You can see what others say and agree or disagree to what they say but you can get a incite on what others think about different subjects you can also win prizes. I am not sure when the prizes are delivered to those who win but they do win for what is said there voted on. Brenda carlton
Horrid site. Anyone who actually wants stimulating discussions-whether liberal or conservative (or independent like me) - AVOID this site. The "owners" of the site will only hear what their myopic little brains can handle- then you are banned.
WASTE of TIME!
All of my responses are flagged as spam lately. I'm permitted to make an initial post but when I want to respond to other commenters, they are flagged as spam. I tried three times but all spam. I clicked the link to review my responses to reconsider but no success.

The primary service which is commenting
The typical Disqus channel moderator strictly limits the spectrum of acceptable opinion, allowing only lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate
I began using disquis a few months ago, I gave very good comments and got a lot of good conversations with others, nothing bad. But i noticed if you get too deep on a subject they don't like apparently they hold your comments or like me delete your account! So i see they like drama and dont care about people having clean conversations. Yet someone else can type vulgar language and comments, nothing happens. Hate disquis good riddens you frauds
I have two Disqus accounts. Each is connected to a different email address. As I tend to stay logged in on sites that use Disqus, I forgot my passwords. Today I found that I had been logged out on one of my frequented sites. I went to Disqus to ask a question and found that in order to ask a question, I have to KNOW my password. I then requested a password reset email twice, finally got one 20 minutes later, and read "expired" when I tired to use it. I then request another password reset and got, "down for maintenance". I finally decided to delete my Disqus accounts and found that you cant do that - without a password. This is like hell, a needless, endless circle of pain. I can't log in, I can't reset my password, and I can't close my accounts. Maybe contacting my state attorney general would do something?
I was looking for a legitimate person to fix my credit score. It was so bad that I was denied numerous times getting anything so I needed help. I read about a credit specialist on a credit blog and I hired him. I noticed after a couple of days he had already cleared all negatives including my taxes and raised my score to an excellent 795. I qualified for a business loan. Should you need help fixing your credit, Contact (Hightechrepair at WriteMe dot Com).
