I saw the update on the other community page and now changing the cookie settings has a visible effect.
However I still have a ticket active at the help center. Where I asked if I need to agree to all 3 points asked by Disqus. And in the past I didn’t have to “create” a Disqus account, since Viki “made” one … (should I call it Viki Disqus ID).
Now, there are some question … What data did Viki give Disqus for letting me use the comment function? Do I now need to create a Disqus account, with all the data they ask for? If so, I am out of the comments. I am sick of 3rd party involvement all around the globe and at the end, no one feels liable. It’s like an unwanted work that roams from one desk in an office to the next. And in the end it is a simple “sorry” with no real consequences.
@lutra Yes I feel you. I already had a disqus account for other sites but Viki also created one for me. And I have some issues with it which cannot be solved by either Viki or Disqus.
The issue I addressed was the fact that outsiders (outside Viki) started to follow my Viki account and I didn’t want that because it’s a Viki account so why should outsiders follow it?! I asked Viki to block the outsiders but they couldn’t because it’s a 3rd party tool. They said I should contact Disqus about it which I did and they said they could only block everyone from following me but that also had some other cons which I don’t remember but they where not handy to have as a volunteer. So I’m still stuck with them and at this point I have 448 followers of which I assume more then 50% are outside stalkers. Why they follow me no idea. And it’s even funnier that some followers did set their disqus to private so they can follow me and read everything I write here but I can’t read anything from their account. Not that I wanted too.
Yes I can manually delete each and every follower but how long will that take me?
Ohh and once Disqus even asked me if the 2 accounts I have could be merged… ehh how about no?!
About the points on Disqus’ terms, as long as Disqus’ “proceed” button is grayed out, you’ll have to tick any remaining options to use their service.
When you create a Disqus account with your Viki account - username, avatar, email and userid will be shared for the purpose of allowing you to use Disqus.
I agree.
Their new policy is way to intrusive.I don’t want my email and personal information given out to whom ever.it’s not safe.It also will invite all kinds of unsolicited traffic to my account.Now we can’t even discuss new content for licensing.
I think they should get rid of Disgus and find something that is safer for the Viki community.I definitely will not be agreeing to their new policy.People have always been able to see all comments made through Disgus.My email and private information should remain private.
I am pretty bummed out that you can no longer read or participate in comments for up and coming dramas.
Disgus new policies are way to intrusive.
I will not agree to their new policy I want my email and private information to remain private.I also want no unsolicited traffic to my accounts.Viki should get rid of Dsgus and find something safer for comments.
My solution since day one: I made an email account just for these cases where I didn’t want to disclose stuff, and I used that for viki, disqus and all those websites asking for an email just to let you leave a comment. On that account, I put a fake name, fake birthday and country.
None of my friends have it and I don’t use it for anything else.
So I couldn’t care less about those privacy issues.
One should think ahead
I recently cleaned out my internet browser and deleted my cookies and behold - the comment section disappeared again. I can see in project discussions, but I don’t see it on Viki.
