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?
Until today I was unaware that Disqus held a deep political alliance with postmodern progressives. And all this time I thought they were a business promoting free discussion about the information posted on sites that host Disqus. Disqus now appears to be an abomination, a business that censors free discussion. Apparently, they are missing a key emoticon on their homepage, a red hammer and sickle icon.
I will no longer support Breitbart because they use disqus for their comments. I literally get banned everyday to every other day for reasons that DO NOT VIOLATE the rules stated on the site. Breitbart better wake up and get rid of disqus because they are contributing to their readers being silenced. You get banned just for saying George Soros name which is well known and why people spell it in creative ways such as *******@ss s ()r ()s etc
I would have rated the site zero if I had the option. I replied to a comment about the white lives matter versus the black lives matter and I simply asked, "How have I oppressed people simply because I'm white?" The comment was removed therefore I consider Disqus to be a communistic website.
I wanted to purchase a new car but i couldn't because of my poor credit score then i contacted karma credit for help. I had a few collections and some hard inquiries. Karma credit took care of the collections and raised my score to 780. I got the car and thanks to him. You can reach him on; karmacredit@ repairman.com. Or *******314
It is terrible! It takes FOREVER to load up, if it ever does. So many sites use it for comments, so many people can't comment. This happens on MS Edge AND Google Chrome. Unfortunately I cant get a pic the size this site allows.
I stopped using Disqus today. It appears to be designed for "political trolls", meaning, it is perfectly alright for anybody to write a short obnoxious comment yet as soon as you write out a well throughout comment or reply, it will flag your comment as "SPAM" and however long you took to write your comment or reply will be wasted time and effort.
There are a special place in hell for these people. I was having a problem with my school district; 03/02/2015 a teacher called my son a terrorist and the Superintendent Robert W Runcie did nothing about it and lied. Our story went international. Then I got a call from a friend that all my posts show as blocked as spam. It took me until 04/15/2015 trying to connect with these people. No luck, so I decided to search for their domain and anywhere I found a person name I would send them a communication. Finally I was able to locate "someone" on twitter and reach out to them and explained the situation and they unblocked me forward. But the damage was done.
I tried after that to still connect and find out why they did that? What did they use to decide that I was a spam when I was posting everything manually. I was told that the bottom of my posts what the reason for the block. Because it was always the same. It was the URL for my Facebook Community site.
Granted that the district never cared, but still my goal to reach people and educate them about Broward County, Florida never materialized as it should. I am sure that hurts many families not getting the truth because of "Disgusts".
Pass it around.
Recently I have been forced to sign into Disqus every single time on every website I frequent. It used to remember me most of the time and it was a rare occasion that a login was required. In addition to that I enter my email and then password and it kicks me out and then requires the Captcha box. Why doesn't that box show up the first time I attempt login? What is up with the changes?
I wouldn't think that outside sites that use the Disqus interface would be very happy that Disqus is also blocking their traffic by blacklisting. That takes revenue away from everyone.
Disqus is cutting its own throats by this practice.
No wonder they have lost half their traffic this year alone.
If you want to avoid headaches, avoid Disqus.
If your goal as a site owner is to make money, avoid the Disqus chat interface. Disqus will rob you of your revenue.
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.
Disqus blocked me for my conservative comments! I believe it was the result of whining lefties, that like to dish it out but can't take it, complaining as abuse. They blocked my second account as well which likely means they blocked my I. P.
Commy Pinkos!
I used disqus on my site and monetized it, after realizing their system and monetization was trash, I ditched it. However, this was after I passed their threshold of $100 to withdraw the money I made. This was nearly a year ago, I still have not received any money or responses aside from the generic e-mails. If you have similar problems file a complaint with BBB.
I have been using disqus for awhile and I made 846 comments. I find out today that on November 30,2019 that I'm banned. At least if your going to ban someone let them know the reason why pu$$ies!
I can't even give a one word response on the ABC site. I would say more, but word might get back to them that I've been complaining.
Who is responsible for banning commenters from a websites, Disqus or the webmasters for the site?... I have been banned from a few conservative websites for comments these websites don't like.

Companies buy their service, dusaus controls your comments. I left negative remarks about trump and franklin graham on WND and Breitbart and got banned- and they screw with you. This is a bunch of twists in a call center sitting hind computers aligned with Zuckerberg. Dont click onto any sites that use discus - also check their corporate status on CORPORATION WIKI to see names of corporate officers. These guys are making a killing off you
It's official. Disqus has been rendered completely useless on all of my favorite Conservative sites. It appears they have also become chess players in the Conservative Purge. They do not respect the freedom of speech for all anymore. Their entire mission statement is a complete lie. Therefore, since they want to be Anti-Conservative, I used my freedom of choice and my voice to delete my Disqus account, and I've actually blocked their domain from my neighborhood network, websites and even my personal computers. I am the administrator. I can do that! I'm currently still instructing everyone to switch to a more bipartisan SM engine and/or find other routes to communicate with their favorite sources. I hate to tell you guys this, but they (the Liberal Communist Left Wing Extremists) appear to have re-engaged in Jim Crow behavior and are forcing us deeper into the digital ghettos simply because they lost an election. It's unbelievable how evil they are. If I didn't know any better I'd say they're all possessed by demons.
Discus quite often bans from their site anyone that has a conservative point of view whereas they allow liberals to say what ever they want without banning them
Disqus censors anything that they think does not follow their narrative. It is hardly objective. Sites should stop using it and go to something else.
Answer: I believe our posts get removed and we get banned, even called retards 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 retard 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!
Answer: Obviously for the majority of reasons sited here! Thanks for the good news!
Answer: 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?
Answer: Disqus is an awful company from kalifornia. They hate free speech
Answer: Because this site is run by a bunch of closed minded left wing liberals. I they do not agree with your posts... you will be blocked.
