Since we may be finally rid of the little scum bag that pledged us for a year, I was wondering if I should switch back to commenting with blogger. Meaning no more Disqus comments or worrying about your real name popping up if you comment wrong. Honestly, I've been missing commenting with blogger and I've always felt guilty that disqus might be turning people from commenting. I know some have stop commenting, because disqus isn't the easiest to use or understand. I remember commenting on Poida's blog and my full name showed up under comments. Gave me a big scare since I wasn't planning to showcase my real name to the world. I'm sure a lot of people have been scared to comment with all the little directions I posted. :/ I wouldn't of done it if it wasn't for you-know-who, so I appreciate your feedback on the subject.
If in any case someone is to spam or cause trouble using blogger comments, disqus can be easily re-installed. I've tested everything via my other blogs. I also have ip tracker on this blog, so yeah I'm fully aware who visits. Don't try nothing! :P
I like using disqus but then I have it on my blog so that won't be a surprise. I especially like how you can edit your comments and see replies (and reply back) from the dashboard. It can be a bit of a pain for those that don't have a disqus account though. I don't moderate comments unless they are using the anon profile or restricted words.
ReplyDeleteI have the blogger comments and I get an email notification every time someone comments. I don't allow anon comments and I only had moderating on for a little while after a certain someone left some nasty comments. But now that he's gone, I disabled the moderating. I think he'll be gone a long time, and if not I'll turn it back on. Anyhoo, it seems there is a lot of issues with logging into disqus with openID - half the time I get an error message. Which makes me not bother commenting so much when someone has disqus. Also, I had to log in to disqus on a Norwegian online newspaper in order to write this. It would not let me log in here. So yeah, I prefer blogger comments.
ReplyDeletei don't really mind it or noticed it, i don't mind showing my first name but i always change my last name to Penguin or Pengy just for the basic fact that people who i talk to know who i am, at the minute my last name is Rawr i am trying to sort that out =d
ReplyDeleteI just switched to it on my blog actually, I like the fact that you get reply notifications so you don't have to check back all the time like a lunatic, but obviously, it's your blog, so it's up to you really! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know vid. I'm used to this but whatever works best for you is fine with me. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah im kinda used to it too i guess. but i suppose it is technically not necessary anymore
ReplyDeleteAh yep. That would be the only draw back for me. I do like getting emails for every comment. >_<
ReplyDeleteI've grown rather fond of Disqus actually, I like that I get email notifications and can reply on my phone email, makes it easier for me... =)
