Hey All,
As SpoilerTV has grown over the years, like most sites, we get our fair share of Spam and Trolls and other generally unpleasant folk :)
We catch 99% of these but occasionally a few get through.
In order to improve the quality of the comments and to ensure that everyone's experience is a good one, we have today turned on extra levels of protection. The main part of this is that only Disqus Accounts with a verified email will be guaranteed to have their comments posted immediately. Non-Verified Accounts might see a delay in their comments being posted.
95% of people on SpoilerTV have already verified their accounts but there are still a few of you who have not.
Now, you don't need to Verify your email through Disqus, however if you do it will provide some benefits.
Why is verification important?
1) No impersonators - Verifying your email prevents others from using your email address when posting on sites using Disqus Comments.
2) Your comments won't get stuck - With a verified profile, your comments will be less likely to get stuck in moderation or in the spam filter.
3) Access to more sites - Many sites using Disqus Comments require a verified profile to comment. By verifying once, you'll be able to join more communities more quickly and more easily.
Note: All comments that contain links will now be moderated to protect our readers.
You can Verify your Email with Disqus here http://disqus.com/verify/
As mentioned you don't need to do this, but if you don't your comments may get stuck in the moderation queue longer. Verified Accounts will have comments posted immediately.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate in asking below in the comments or you can contact Disqus directly here.
Well that was painless :)
ReplyDeleteHa yes, it is :)
ReplyDeleteThat took about two seconds.
ReplyDeleteCool,It was already verified by the time i got there!
ReplyDeleteAlready verified.
ReplyDeleteIt just couldn't have been more easy :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea.
ReplyDeleteLet's see.
ReplyDeleteI need the "That was easy" button for this
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us safe!
ReplyDeleteYour email address has already been verified. Thanks! There is nothing else for you to do here.
ReplyDelete:D :D :D
done !
ReplyDeleteSame here :)
ReplyDeleteApparently I was already verified. Who knew.
ReplyDeleteI verify my account immediately whenever I register for anything... are you telling me that's not normal? Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSame, but good to know! :)
ReplyDeleteNow I can switch my username.
ReplyDeleteVerified! Nice! Avoiding spammers is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGood Initiative
ReplyDeleteJust found out my email already was verified.
ReplyDeleteAha, now I see why my comments kept needing to be moderated before being posted...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.! That was very helpful, and easy.
ReplyDeletehave already done it some time ago :)
ReplyDeleteSuper, maybe I will stop being viewed as a guest, so many times I have to sign in before I comment to be me. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sound more like an issue with your browser/cookies not being remembered. How do you normally sign into disqus? Google/Twitter/Facebook or Disqus Account?
ReplyDeleteDisqus, but the strange thing is, I can be commenting on several things on the same page and all of a sudden I have to sign in again. It is easy to do, just wondered if anyone else has this problem.
ReplyDeleteHmm, strange. I can't recall the last time I had to log into disqus lol.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest contact their excellent support teams http://disqus.com/support/
They might be able to better help you stay logged in.
Thanks will send them an email.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the fact I signed in via my twitter be verification enough? Seriously I am SICK of companies going "give us more of your personal info...or you cant be here fully". I suppose you didn't ask for my cell number like 3/4 of the sites do at least. But still.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks Spoiler TV.
An account created thru a twitter acct IMO is "verified" in my opinion.
Guess I'll be here less often unfortunately.
So long ago, that also had forgotten that Verification already was commenced,
ReplyDeleteFYI: I did send them an email, and got nothing and am still having to sign in usually once or twice a day.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else get a pop up asking you to sign and gives you several choices or just be a guest? This is after commenting several times on the same article.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea sorry. I can't recall every having to re-login to disqus. I can only think some addon/extension/utility/setting is clearing your cookies/cache each time.
ReplyDeleteIf it was every time I could try and track the problem down, but it may not happen but once a day and that is not the first time I go to comment. Like I said not hard to sign back in, just really weird.
ReplyDeleteVery odd. I wish I could offer more advice. Maybe keep trying to email disqus.
ReplyDeletemy Aunty
ReplyDeleteAllison recently got a nice 6 month old Jaguar by working from a macbook.this website Cashfig.COM
Same thing happens to me. There are times when i can go for weeks at a time without any problem then all of a sudden it can happen a few times a day or few times a week.
ReplyDeleteCue the spam song!
ReplyDeleteSo if we have a verified email our messages won't be moderated even if they contain links?
ReplyDeleteDo you have "Delete browsing history on exit" set to true in your Internet Options? That could do what you're describing, but it would do it every time you kill your browser...not just once in a while. Your anti-virus program could also automatically be deleting cookies after each scan.
ReplyDeleteComments are getting removed even old ones.
ReplyDeleteThey were deleted because you posted about 50 comments about Arrow on a Melissa and Joey thread. Off top comments will be removed.
ReplyDeleteok but earlier my comment on "2014 Character Cup - 1D" was removed, why? there was nothing against the rules in it.
ReplyDeleteNo comments have been removed from that thread. Must have been a glitch with disqus
ReplyDeleteAll comments that contain links will now be moderated to protect our readers
ReplyDeleteYou only need to click a link that is emailed to you, simple as that. Who is asking for personal info?
ReplyDeleteBut it also says up top "We STRONGLY suggest that you Please Verify your Email with Disqus so that your comments will not be moderated."
ReplyDeleteThat's for all other comments.
ReplyDeleteguess you missed the part where I
ReplyDelete1- said that I already logged in via twitter, isn't that verified enough and
2- asking for my email address IS asking for more info.
Yay i am verified
ReplyDeleteCool :)
ReplyDeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteThis site has been getting better and better every year. Thanks for the extra security!
ReplyDeleteThanks @Gavin Hetherington :)
ReplyDeletei keep trying but i never receive the email!
ReplyDeleteHi @Krista McInturff Are you sure that the email address you registered in Disqus is valid?
ReplyDeleteDrop me an email at darkufo@spoilertv.com and we'll take a look.
thanks i double checked and it had a letter wrong. have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAh cool, glad you got it sorted!
