Comments on the site and our new commenting system

From the very beginning, I did not like the standard comment form that came with the site by default. On the one hand, it provides many opportunities, very flexible settings are thought out, but on the other hand, there is a big trouble in the form of SPAM comments. Nothing could be done about these spammers, who annoyingly write comments on the site. Even after installing a complex captcha system, which requires the commentator to enter two English words from a picture, it was not possible to end spam.

Even the restriction on leaving comments only from registered users did not improve the situation. Spammers register and leave advertising comments on the site without difficulty. The most important thing is that advertising is so intrusive and does not correspond to the topic of mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ that you can immediately see that all these comments on the site are left not even by people, but by special programs for sending advertisements to sites where commenting is possible. As a result, every day I had to spend time cleaning comments on the site, deleting and sending to the black list more and more addresses. And lately, during the night of these comments, so many were written that it was decided to close such an opportunity and remove the commenting form altogether.

No sooner said than done, the comment form has been removed and the site is in perfect order. Cleanliness and order are of course good, but together with them a deathly silence reigned, as if the site had been abandoned and abandoned. But mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ is visited every day by thousands of people from different cities of Russia, Ukraine and other countries.

The situation was corrected thanks to the Disqus commenting system. This is an external system that can be installed on any site by first creating a profile at https://disqus.com/
In addition to successfully combating advertising comments, Disqus makes it possible for visitors to comment more conveniently. Usually, when leaving a comment, you need to write a name, an e-mail address, enter a captcha (words and symbols from the picture), and here you can register once in Disqus and comment on all sites where this system is installed. In addition to registering on Disqus, there are other options for leaving comments on the site. Authorization via Twitter, Facebook, Google, makes it possible to leave a comment, which will include a link to your social network account.

These are the advantages and capabilities of the Disqus commenting system. Just talking about the advantages, one should not forget about some of the disadvantages that also exist. The system does not allow authorization through VKONTAKTE, as well as if you have special plugins for cutting ads in your browser and scripts are disabled, then you simply may not see the comments on the site.
