Reporting Comments

Written by Disqus

Reporting a comment tells a site moderator that a comment requires moderator attention. On most sites you can report a comment by clicking its 3-dots icon in the top right corner of the comment. Users are required to be logged in to report comments, so if you click this option while logged out, you'll be prompted to log into your Disqus account.

Reporting a comment is only counted once per person; you won't need to do it multiple times.



Proper Reporting Guidelines

Every site has a different commenting policy, be sure to review it before flagging any comments.

Generally, comments should be reported for:

  • Spamming

  • Violating a site's commenting policy

  • Being clearly unrelated

  • Attacking other commenters personally

Generally, comments should not be reported for:

  • Disagreeing with the content

  • Disputing with other commenters


​ **Moderators may be able to see if specific users are abusing the reporting function


Report Spam to Disqus

We also appreciate reports of any spam comments you find. After reporting a comment for the moderator, feel free to click on their profile and report the user.
