Targeted harassment or encouraging others to do so

The targeted and systematic harassment of people has no place on Disqus, nor do we tolerate communities dedicated to fostering harassing behavior.

Spam

Examples include 1) comments posted in large quantities to promote a product or service, 2) the exact same comment posted repeatedly to disrupt a thread. 3) following users multiple times

Impersonation

You may not impersonate others in a manner that does or is intended to mislead, confuse, or deceive others.

Direct threat of harm

This covers active threats of harm directed towards a specific person or defined group of individuals. Contact local authorities if you feel a crime has been committed or is imminent.

Posting personally identifiable information

Examples of protected information: credit card number, home/work address, phone number, email address, social security number. Real name isn't currently covered.

Inappropriate profile content

Graphic media containing violence and pornographic content are not allowed. Profile content allowed by Disqus may not be allowed on all communitie, so report such profiles to the site moderator.
