New features are on the horizon

Hey Gang,

There are some new features that we are rolling out over the next couple of weeks and here are a  few to get your feet wet.

  • Improved Spam Filters & Reporting
    The ability to mark spam and a more refined spam filtering system. I know we have had a couple days of spam and this will help solve it.
  • Internationalization
    For starters we will have German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Italian translations. Is there a language you’re fluent in not listed here? If you have a spare moment and would like to help translate. Feel free to shoot an email to help@disqus.com for more instructions.
  • New Plugins
    Movable type and Drupal plugins.
  • Updated Commenting Interface
    I will have more details on this update next week but I was really curious about what improvements you would suggest for our commenting interface? What would you change or remove? What is missing? I started a thread here to get the brain waves flowing.

Your opinion is very important to us and we look forward to hearing from you,

  • I would suggest changing the icons for rating comments. I've found that very few people on my blog will rate comments. Maybe they don't know they should?
  • I totally agree with you. What kind of rating icons would you like to see?

  • Just something that stands out a little more. Perhaps some beta testing allowing different options could find something. People could report back on whether rating occurs more or less often with different icons (like thumbs)
  • Re: commenting interface, I'd like to see full admin functions in Disqus itself, like the ability to ban someone from Disqus, not just the site.
  • So essentially flagging of Disqus/anonymous users? Also when you say Full Admin functions, which would you like to see besides flagging of users?

    Improvements? I'd like to see the DISQUS COMMENTS button removed. I think it's enough to have "blog comments powered by DISQUS" displayed at the bottom.

    How can someone switch all of their archived comments from one domain name to another? All the same filenames and content, just on a different domain.
  • C.T. Jones Imitator
    Easy!

    Also, why mess wiyh something that works?

    I must be hallucinating that some elitist deleted my earlier post...
  • Chris Crosby
    Easy? How, then? I tried changing the domain name under "Settings" and it didn't work. New comments appeared on the new domain, but old comments didn't display.

    Hi Chris, just send us an email with the details and we can take care of it for you. help@disqus.com
  • Will you remember and go over the suggestions posted in the Suggestions forum?

    I'm not really much for reiterating by finding the old threads I made with suggestions and critique. :)
  • Don't worry, I have been taking notes there. =)

  • I would love all of the them actually ;-) And even more. Do you know http://notifixio.us? It's actually pretty easy : if you've got an RSS feed for the users' comment, then, you've got a subscription system that supports all the one you mentionned and that has a cool API for anyon to build additional channels that can be used (iPhone App, Air Application... etc)

    "your fluent" should be "you're fluent"

  • Looking forward to the improved spam filtering. I have been getting my fair share, and my fingers are now well trained on writing the word "Delete" and hitting send.

  • I used to get attack by spam bots with similar IP addresses but things are getting better by the day. Keep up the good work.
