Disqus is a service that provides commenting for websites.
Disqus doesn't moderate
We take no part in moderation decisions (e.g., approving comments, deleting comments, or handling disputes among commenters) nor can we offer an explanation as to why a comment or a user account has been moderated. These decisions are made by websites using the Disqus service (the "moderators").
Commenting experiences can differ greatly depending on the individual site's moderation practices/policies. Policies and settings may vary widely between Disqus-enabled sites.
How to contact a moderator
Most websites have a contact form or email address listed to get in touch with their moderators or support team.
Reasons a comment may be awaiting pre-moderation
Websites using Disqus have the ability to pre-moderate comments based on certain criteria. If a comment meets these criteria, it may be queued for moderator review before being published publicly on the website. Reasons a comment may be pre-moderate included, but are not limited to:
- Contains a link
- Contains a media attachment, e.g., image or video
- User has not verified their email
