Disqus Hacking of disqus comments on rt

There is obvious hacking of your comments system. It concerns comments that are receiving an unusual and extraordinary amount of up votes for comments that are pro US or anti Russia & Chinese, and other peoples comments that are are supportive of Russia & China or dismissive of the pro US comments are getting an unusually high amount of down votes, I have witnessed 4 - 5 votes being added in a matter of seconds, especially down votes when the upvotes are starting to out number the down votes for pro Russia comments. I have also witnessed comments that would normally get little upvotes getting 40 - 50 upvotes in the matter of a second upon posting. This is totally abnormal considering it is a most bloggers would be pro Russia & China.

Todays article: "America & 44 other countries demand urgent answers from Moscow over ‘attempted assassination' of jailed opposition figure Navalny". Commenter Chiefless, went from 162 votes to 413 votes in a2 seconds. UKtime Traveller & olganfreak also received unusually high votes while those replying received very high down votes.

Considering this has been happening for some years on RT comments, only recently has it become more frequent and whereas previously one could reports such dubious comments, under the new system one can not. It is obvious that some have access to software that can alter voting.

The question is therefore, how long has Disqus known about it and is doing anything to prevent the hacking or is it being done with Disqus acknowledgement with influence from outside interests.

Desired outcome: A complete fix without influence from outside interests

Disqus Banned

When I try to comment on a Gateway Pundit article it tells me I have been banned by Gateway Pundit . However when I contacted Gateway Pundit (email) they sad they have no record of ever banding me. I have no idea what comment I made or when or what started this . I have never asked about this before today. And it's been this way for quite awhile. So why does Gateway not know ? What rule did I brake ? And how do i get reinstated ? Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Desired outcome: Reinstatement

Disqus is lying about not acting as 3rd party moderators. Despite what their terms of service state THEY DO act as 3rd party AI moderators via their analytics priority based system. In fact they have the ability to ban users across multiple platforms, if you are deemed a "trouble maker." They even state on their own website that they offer a fully automated moderation system which they control.

Disqus Targeted harassment of me from a blog dedicated to the purpose

I have been being stalked, target harassed and doxed for 3 years by a group of trolls running a minimum of 4 different blogs dedicated to the behavior and using me as their primary target.
Disqus has globally banned me twice, the 2nd time just yesterday, for defending myself against the harassment by those individuals.
I have requested support via email from Ryan, starting in October 2020, he refused to help and instead has allowed my pictures to be posted dozens of times and are visible on the blog at -
https://swampbirds.blogspot.com/
He has allowed an ongoing program of targeted harassment of myself and a number of other users for months and instead of interceding in the problem and controlling the situation, he allows the blog to attack other users, colludes with the harassers and punishes the victim with a disqus wide ban.

Desired outcome: Elimination of the harassing behavior and reinstament of my account

Disqus Moderators are abusing your website

https://disqus.com/home/forum/fdesouche-1/

The "moderators" (censors) of this public site are :

1: trolling (10 or 15 friends are helping the moderator who decided to humiliate and to harasse you)
2: inventing "spam" to anyone. (i never spammed even once, but all my comments are reported automatically as spam, only on this site)
3: that troll-team of moderation are not applying your TOS, nor their TOS, They let you believe that this forum is public, but in reality they are a private club of trollers.

If you refuse to ban those accounts, i'll never use your platform anymore, and i'll have to report your platform to a penal court.

If you need the names of the "moderator" accounts, i can give them to you. I also have their numerical identity, their address, and their real names.

Make some order : ban that people.

Disqus Disqus is providing a forum for a raging and rabid anti-semitic poster who has more than 2000 anti-semitic posts

Look for yourself, this lady thrives on making hate posts, and Disqus is giving her a forum. Twisted souls like this want to be able to blast their hate to the world and you are giving her space for it, time to delete her account, note her IP number(s), and see that she never posts again. It would be worth finding out her real name and posting it so that the world knows that this person is a violent bigot who is out to cause anti-Semitic attacks.
https://disqus.com/by/disqus_McbCYYXyDb/comments/

Desired outcome: delete this account from Disqus

Presumably you're talking about Jewish semites and not Arab semites. Fact is that there are almost no Jewish semites left on planet earth. The vast majority of Jews spring from Ashkenazim ancestry with a few from the Spanish wing. The Spanish Jews seem to have a strong argument for their Jewishness, while the Ashkenazim have none.

As for HATE, it's as valid and important as LOVE, and indeed one cannot exist without the other. In America, we are endowed with FREE speech wherein we can give our opinions about ANYTHING in whatever light we wish. Threats and other criminal statements are not included in this freedom. But HATE is a very important feeling that can and should be expressed when one has a reason for it. E.g., who in their right mind would not say they HATE HITLER? Hopefully nobody.

So drop the "semitic" baloney and let "hate" be ... in one case you're lying and in the other you are stifling freedom of speech.

Replying to comment of TJ Knight

"who in their right mind would not say they HATE HITLER? Hopefully nobody."
T.J., you are so naive. Doesn't work that way.
'I hate Hitler', says the sneaky anti-Semite.
'I love the US', says the fifth-columnist.

Or, on some threads, the rabid anti-Semite (the lady in question?) is quite open about it, relying on dark web. VPNs and such. Like a cockroach in the cabinet.
Anyway according to the adage. "Sticks and stones ...", but the stone throwing has begun over most of the world, and in all the "civilized countries".
Another way of handling hate, which is often irrational, is self-control, educating oneself and the like. Not popular these days, though.

What or who is the solution?

Disqus Comments

I've been a DISQUS user since it's inception. My original screen name was Atomic Fury and I now go by Highlander. What I have to say is so abnormal in my internet experience, and the help for which is almost non-existent, that I'm turning to you in this desperate attempt to curb the accusations of one, sick individual.

I encountered this user who goes by the name of Miss Conservative on the Delaware County Daily Times website and we have clashed for years. But this person has gone further than anyone I've ever encountered in order to not only insult me, but to damage my reputation unnecessarily.

For the last several weeks, she has (for an unknown reason) constantly referred to me as a rapist, or Rapey the Clown, etc. Now I'm a thick-skinned individual and have easily dismissed many vulgar and false names thrown my way, as I know it's just cyberspace.

But this is different. This is sexual harassment that can conceivably bring undeserved attention and even law enforcement investigation. Needless to say. the allegation is baseless and even she admitted to another user that she made it up to annoy me. It doesn't annoy me, I'm concerned about it bringing unwanted attention my way. It's very irresponsible of any user to go that far with someone they have disputes with.

I realize this isn't the place for such a concern, but the reporting of her does nothing to so much as mitigate her activity. And DISQUS has no phone number I can use to contact someone over something this serious. So, if this kind of issue isn't something you deal with, I ask you to pass it along to some department within that can handle her.

Desired outcome: A semi-permanent ban of said user.

Disqus If you're going to have rules, enforce them

http://disq.us/p/2erkzjf

One of MANY, MANY insults and borderline threats I have received on the Comics Kingdom forums.

This one is tame.

You should not be enabling the spread of covid misinformation, child abuse, harassment, sexism, racism, threats, doxing, or trolling on your sites.

Yet the comic site forums are RAMPANT with all of those.

I have complained hundreds of times to Comics Kingdom and posts about beating children or threatening users are ignored.

Please do something.

Desired outcome: Issue warnings against posting against rules and remove offending posts

DISQUS LIES when they say...

"Disqus is a discussion network

Disqus never moderates or censors. The rules on this community are its own.
Don't be a jerk or do anything illegal. Everything is easier that way."

DISQUS just locks people out of their accounts !

DISQUS "Forgot Password?" feature doesn't work either because by the time the user receives the "Disqus Password Reset Confirmation" a WEEK later, the URL link is NO LONGER VALID.

DISQUS play games !

True. Disqus should NOT look at comments at all. The purchasers of the Disqus service should be the only comment judges (if any). But Disqus is following in the footsteps of the evil social media giants and is getting worse. This all must end soon. Trump would have ended it, but Biden's masters won't end it without a massive effort on the part of the civilized, patriotic, and America-loving citizens. However, our enemies within are vast and of such low IQ that they are unable to comprehend truth and reality. It seems the only solution is a civil war. So be it.

Disqus Spam mark

I was under the impression that spam was false advertising or malicious phishing, etc. I wrote a comment recently and it was marked as spam.
What could have caused the comment to be marked as "spam".

1. It was one comment.
2. It was not repeated anywhere else on your site.
3. It was in q&a conversation form with one other member.

My comment does not fit any of the following definitions of spam:
Examples include 1) comments posted in large quantities to promote a product or service, 2) the exact same comment posted repeatedly to disrupt a thread. 3) following users multiple times. Please explain. I would like to become a regular user. Your system seems to omit reasonable answers for marking a comment as spam.

Disqus Harassment on disqus

The catagory was the closest to what I am experiencing.
I am being harassed by @disqus_NGuDf9E0Ox and a so-called "Guest" who I think is the same person.

He down voted me on a harmless comment so I went to his history, chose a comment of his and commented asking why he was down voting me.

Shortly after that I received dozens of down votes in my history, he must have gone there and just scrolled and down voted. I stopped counting after 50.

What can be done about this? Does his harrassment give me a bad reputation on Disqus? Does it removed up votes.

Disqus Removal of post from article "alan dershowitz: congress is trying to 'create crimes out of nothing'"

My response TCM to Pat Dunne regarding the subject article was removed from the thread. To my knowledge it violates none of the rules regarding use of the site. Why was it removed? The facts stated in my post are all correct. The opinion stated is truly my opinion regarding the professional achievements of Alan Dershowitz. Many readers would certainly benefit from hearing the complete story about Dershowitz and his commitment to civil liberties. Others posted opinions that simply do not fairly represent Dershowitz's long time career.
