If I don’t block at least one troll a day, I’m not doing my job.
It’s definitely a necessity. But if Disqus is going to continue its dominant market share it must:
-Improve its threading. 2-3 levels deep and you have no idea who’s responding to whom about what.
-Block trolls. If someone has been blocked by loads of users especially loads of users on a particular site and/or in a short timeframe then odds are they are trolls. IP addresses, email addresses....it doesn’t seem Disqus does the bare minimum to gatekeep.
-Block spam. Spam still a problem in 2018 means Disqus just isn’t trying very hard if at all.
