Once again Disqus claim that they have no control over channel content is proven false.
Disqus Resistance was added to the casualty list and Spy was suspended, which effectively stops any new threads from being created.
The reason given for the suspension was that threads violated policy, but the threads in question were no different than threads created by Coccyx on her satire channel. (not using the name of her channel because I refuse to give her advertising for it)
Disqus continues to pick and chose which policies they honor and which policies they ignore with this suspension. This constant wishy washy business management is becoming worse each day with the vague policies allowing employees to decide what policies mean based on their personal opinion. Then to top it off these employees make many decisions based on their friendship with community members who are bitching about other community members.
Either Disqus is unaware of the employees bad management or Disqus does not care about the employees bad management, but no matter how you look at it this is a f*cked way to run a business.

Another Disqus channel is under attack from Disqus. The Great Outdoorsman run by BulgingSnake has been warned about content even though Disqus claims they have no control over channel content. Recently BulgingSnake noticed his channel had been removed from the trending list and asked about this. Here is what he put up on his channel "The e-mail simply stated and I quote ''Just be glad we didn't delete your profile or your channel''. So I have a feeling the final deletion is about to happen, as in me."
Disqus constantly makes one claim about their service and then their actions prove these claims are false.
Way to run a business Disqus!
Disqus needs to clarify ToS and policy once and for all so that employees are not allowed to make decisions based on personal opinions of themselves or others. With this clarification there should also be information on discipline actions that might be taken for violations so that community members know if they are being targeted unfairly by Disqus employees and if Disqus employees are allowing other community members to violate ToS and/or policy.

Recently Freedom was suspended and many of his threads were removed. Disqus has a double standard with channels such as his. I have seen channels on the opposite side of the issues post similar threads and yet they have not been removed and the channel owner has not been sanctioned. Disqus says that it is a private company so freedom of speech and freedom of expression does not apply. I disagree with most of what he posts, however Disqus is a public social comment forum and as such there should be equality on censorship or there should be no censorship.

There have been a few people who have asked why I am so angry about the last few months on Disqus and it is simple, Disqus became my saving grace over the last 3 years. It was someplace I felt safe going to share a laugh, conversation or even occasional arguments. The pets took that away from me with their harassment and Saeed allowed them to do so and that makes me angry.
A little over 3 years ago a younger brother and my dad were both diagnosed with cancer relatively close together. In RL it was overwhelming much of the time to have both of them going through treatment so I would come on Disqus to escape for a short time. My brother died a little over 2 years ago and my dad died a couple of months before the melt down on Disqus. I was in no emotional condition to deal with constant attacks. Perhaps I should have stayed off of Disqus, but there were people who I consider friends that made my day better and I did not want to lose that support even if it was only internet support.
When I started having problems on MW I sent Saeed an email telling him what I was going through as well as the doctor was concerned about my heart condition and there was a discussion about surgery. He promised that he was trying to solve the problem on MW and asked if I would agree to the cool down. I was an idiot for believing him as that did not happen. Instead he ignored what was going on only making the situation much worse.
It reached a point where I deleted my account and made a new one hoping that would stop the harassment, but it did not. As soon as it became known that I had returned the harassment started again.
No one should have to go through this type of harassment for any reason. The fact that Saeed knew about my personal situation yet he did nothing about the harassment is inexcusable in my opinion.
This has become a problem that Disqus is well aware of and yet Disqus continues to ignore it. Fortunately I have RL support so I was able to work through it. What happens if this is done to someone who does not have that support?
There are some who feel that these interactions can be avoided simply by not longer accessing the internet. Why should anyone have to avoid cyber bullies instead of cyber bullies being the ones who are dealt with?
Not everyone may agree with my decision to return and make my voice heard as they see this as a minuscule part of the internet, but it makes me angry that a company/business does not recognize their part it allowing this behavior to continue when their business is creating a community platform.
IMO Disqus has a responsibility to stop this behavior instead of ignoring it.

So much for the new policy about targeting CM's. The usual bragging about contacting a specific gold star and encouraging that gold star to attack CM's as well as that gold star bragging about doing so. read through the comments.
Since it is Saeed's favorite pet there will be nothing done about it.
Send the link to the thread to daniel@disqus.com and ask why this is being allowed when it is encouraging targeted attacks.

Once again Disqus employees prove that they protect their friends, yet punish anyone who disagrees with those friends by removing threads and comments pointing out the harassment they engage in.
Whenever you create a thread that exposes this harassment you need to save a screenshot so that if it is removed by Disqus employees you can show what was said by you. This provides proof that you are not simply trying to bring the problems to Disqus attention and not "targeting" anyone.
