Intense Debate Comments Turned Off

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in News

Well, guess what? :-)

When we tried to reimport the comments from the Intense Debate test, it didn’t work. So I decided to turn them off for the time being until we could talk with the folks over there and see what was going on. They may come back, but they may not.

Moreover, I’ve been pretty disappointed with their moderation system, because it doesn’t seem to know when a commenter has left a message before. That’s why some of yours haven’t been showing up right away. They’re held in a moderation queue, and I get an email. And unless I check my email every 10 minutes, some of yours have been held in that queue for hours. This is yet another reason why I decided to turn them off.

In any event, we’re working hard to reimport them from Intense Debate so no conversations are lost. I’m just glad we figured this out now instead of when we had a month’s worth to import. Yikes!

Sorry for any confusion or hiccups along the way, and BIG apologies if we ultimately can’t recover those comments.

    I like this old system better myself. It’s not as fancy, but it does the job.

    please don’t go back to the intense-debate comments. posting with that thing is a travesty.

    if you gotta use a new system, i prefer the one on themoderatevoice.com (disqus).

NOTE TO COMMENTERS:


You must ALWAYS fill in the two word CAPTCHA below to submit a comment. And if this is your first time commenting on Donklephant, it will be held in a moderation queue for approval. Please don't resubmit the same comment a couple times. We'll get around to moderating it soon enough.


Also, sometimes even if you've commented before, it may still get placed in a moderation queue and/or sent to the spam folder. If it's just in moderation queue, it'll be published, but it may be deleted if it lands in the spam folder. My apologies if this happens but there are some keywords that push it into the spam folder.


One last note, we will not tolerate comments that disparage people based on age, sex, handicap, race, color, sexual orientation, national origin or ancestry. We reserve the right to delete these comments and ban the people who make them from ever commenting here again.


Thanks for understanding and have a pleasurable commenting experience.
