“Great Experience”

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).

“Disqus is a Regimist Dick!”

Now, about YouTube and its fecal ridden garbage, I write a comment saying that I want the Feds to lock up Neal Mohan, and they idiotically flag it as spam! I want justice, not Nazis taking over the Goddamn internet! If Joe Biden is reading this comment, he has failed his people. In fact, I might actually vote for Trump. It's time for these pea brained penises to stop censoring the dissatisfied consumers!

Time for the FTC to do a cleansing of the internet. Get rid of these scam artists and punish the websites who support them!

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.

Sincerely, several times, I avoid this platform after the stupidity I came across such as creating a stupid account but they won't let you log in. I changed the password I don't know how many times, used either the email address or the username. The site still malfunction and says one of the three is invalid. But am I a moron when I used the reset function with my email address and you don't care if the password is highly protected or not? Just go change job!

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.

I noticed that not one media outlet on Disqus is conservative, not one. If this is the direction censorship is moving then we all need to really widen our eyes and see between the lines. I would never wish to silence any side, as I am a believer in freedom of speech. Last time I chimed in, death threats were bombarded at me. It's insane. For your own sanity find a better place to debate. Let the people their continue with their insane antics.

I have been a victim of scam to different hackers who almost ruined me till I read about C R E D I T S P E C I A L I S T 4 at G M A I L dot C O M awhile, i decided to give him a try and just last night i checked my credit score and saw the positive changes he had made! I have since then connected him to friends and family who all were flabbergasted by his results, I feel it's only right that I share him with the public as I am sure there are so many in my situation.

Disqus pretends to have comment moderation policies; in the last day, I've seen a comment saying "millions of liberals should be shot" and a comment calling a black woman a type of animal as a racist slur.

Neither were removed after multiple reports. Disqus endorses calls for mass murder and dehumanizing hate speech every time they refuse to remove them despite direct policies and criminal statutes against leaving them public.

Tip for consumers:
Expect to have death threats and pathetic racism/slurs thrown at minorities because Disqus doesn't care about anyone but white J6 Terrorist types.

My wife and I were working toward acquiring a home loan which I couldn't get approval due to issues of awful records on my report such as hard inquiries, bankruptcy, collection, late payments, and these saddened us. Thanks to Easyrepaircreditsolution who helped us after reaching out for his help and he promised to help us, He raised my score to 796 in 14days, now I have been able to buy a home and car for my family, contact him on *******@gmail.com

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Delete your account if you can and stay FAR FAR AWAY! There are NO conservatives online. At least not anymore now that Chi Com has won the war.

Heavily censored for no apparent reason. Also, I was not allowed to mention seize assets.This is preposterous editing.

Most comment sections want to use social media crap or make a disqus account. I hate social media and have no interest in giving disqus any information. I could make a burner email just to comment, but that's a ton of effort just to let a blogger know I appreciated their story. Feels like a middle man trying to get between users to get a cut, but instead of money, it's info they can sell. Superfluous.

Tip for consumers:
Haven't found any alternatives yet at the user level. Hopefully site owners find a better service that will be more anonymity/customer friendly. Best advice is if it's a website you frequent, shoot them an email with alternate commenting systems; try websites that utilize better systems already; or just skip commenting altogether. It sucks, but your life will go on even without commenting. Mine has anyway.

Products used:
None, I skipped commenting altogether and found this review site while looking for a way around using their service.

Moderators on individual websites ban users with the most sophisticated, intelligent arguments; this renders the site virtually useless- as only persons with viewpoints that the moderator agrees with may post thus turning it into a "preach to the choir confirmation bias only club".
I was banned from "Not Sorry Feminism" article "Leave Women Alone" dated "Monday, August 18,2014" by moderator "Lindsey Weedston Mod", she routinely bans any poster who disagrees with her.
There is no appeal- nor is there a way to contact the moderator.

The company has posted editorials claiming that the more a discussion is censored the higher it is in quality, and that that isn't censorship at all. Orwell would clap at such impeccable doublethink. Disqus embraces all kinds of unethical conduct, like shadow bans, fake posting (where it seems to the poster the comment was posted but it wasn't), post hiding via voting (aka argumentum ad populum, one of the most basic fallacies), and allowing moderators to be openly hostile toward some minority groups while simultaneously blocking posts containing innocuous words. Even removing the words the overzealous system flags, prior to posting the comment, is enough to have the post blocked regardless.

Disqus seems to be someone thumbing their nose at others more than anything.

Tip for consumers:
Disqus censorship has increased with time. Now, for instance, it requires that a person set up an account.

Products used:
Disqus is used to provide the pretense of discussion with articles.

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.

You can log in and out 10 times and it still wont let you post without "authentication". It slows the lates M1/M2 MacBooks to a crawl and causes them to overheat due to "significant memory usage" whenever engaging with Disqus. All around, pure trash.

Great until they adopted the appalling Captcha login Awful until they revert. There seems to be little logic in making logging more difficult. They will lose users because of adopting this despised system.

Been on disqus a long time today they removed all of my posts. Aside from having a conservative lean mine are not mean or nasty. But good enough done with them, they are obviously in the political fight of their lives (dems) and have to stoop to
Underhanded tactics, like this shutting down of the President's rally's. This will probably be removed as well. Long live free speech!

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.

Tip for consumers:
If you're conservative or middle of the road, don't waste your time. If you're left or far left, this service is for you... like Google, Fakebook, and Twitter. Go for it.

Just like YouTube Disqus does massive shadow censorship. They also put you in Disqus jail (your comment might not show up for an hour or two or even 24 hrs as in my case). My comments are never published in real time. I would give Disqus 0 stars if I could.

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.
