It’s a pretty good app, like I said but customization isn’t one of its strong points for sure. Good luck!

I’ve been thinking about ditching Disqus as well.

I have no problem with it but I’d like to have a bit more customization over it since I can already code.

I use a combination of akismet and a few other trackback spam plugins to fight it. DISQUS didnt seem to have anything internally

Disqus… Well Just wonder how we can combat spam ? I been using disqus for a while and was wondering is there a way to integrate recaptcha with it?

Yea, I tried to give em a bit more of a run so I had contacted them about a few problems, which got fixed within a few days (and honestly one of which was caused by my own unfamiliarity with their system) but I just needed something quicker for visitors and just plain simpler to use.

Thanks for your comment

Giannii,

I appreciate you taking the time to comment here. I did have problems with anything Disqus related while at work. I could comment using a generic name/website on the Disqus enabled websites but I couldn’t log in to Disqus or claim my comments while at work.

It was more frustrating than anything as I had these great community building features of Disqus and they weren’t available 90% of the time I was on the computer.

One key feature that I think is missing from the system is the ability to subscribe to comments.

I do appreciate your support with my earlier issue, which I communicated with you via twitter, and your time.

Pffirewall,

That sounds frustrating, were you not able to view Disqus.com or any Disqus enabled site? Have you tried moderating your comments by email ? Quite a few users utilize this feature, I use it all day.

How do I do this?

You can reply to any email notification in the body of the email with approve, delete, or spam. You may also respond to comments by email too. I hope that helps and if there is anything we can do, just shoot us an email at help@disqus.com.
