A special comment about the comments

I am using a system called Disqus to manage my comments here at therightscoop.com. It has some very nice features like allowing someone to reply to a specific comment as many of you do, sorting of comments, etc. So far it’s been great! I’ve also been allowing anyone to comment thus far and it has in fact worked out nicely. I have only had to ban a couple of people from commenting, so we really don’t have any lingering problem with “trolls”….yet.

However, because this site is growing and more people are coming by to check out our awesome content, at some point we are sure to become a target for haters out there on a routine basis. It’s no secret that the Left hates….I mean really hates Glenn Beck.

So I’ve decided to stop allowing anonymous comments. What this  means to you is that when you comment, you’ll need to do one of the following:

• sign in with your Twitter account
• sign in with your Facebook account
• sign in with your Yahoo account
• sign in with your OpenID account
• or register and sign in with  your Disqus account

This is the beautiful thing about Disqus, that you can use any one of the accounts listed above and you don’t have to sign up for anything new unless you decide on using a Disqus account. The nice thing about using Disqus is that you have more control over managing your comments and you can also choose whether or not to use an avatar, etc. The only thing that will be displayed is the identity/avatar from any account you sign in with.

Also, one of the other nice features about Disqus is that we are not the only blog that uses it. TVNewser, an excellent blog, uses it as their comment system. You could go comment over there with the same account you use over here. And if you use a Disqus account, it will agregate all of your comments from any site for you to manage in the Disqus system.

This is really not anything major at all. I will just need the ability to hold the lefty trolls more accountable when they come over here to simply pick fights or disparage people.

If you have any trouble please let me know by sending an email to tips@therightscoop.com and I’ll be glad to assist in anyway I can.

Oh, and one other note. If you choose to use specific curse words in your comment, it may not post immediately. I have to manually moderate those, so please don’t worry if your comment doesn’t show up immediately.

Thanks,
