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.

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

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.

Disqus has been well known for a time for censoring and blocking moderate and good value reply posts

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.

Horrible service and should be deee.ed unfit for business and be shut down permanently. They openly censor free speech

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.

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!

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
