If you are banned across multiple sites

Message indicating user is banned by Disqus

Error message: We are unable to post your comment because you have been blocked by Disqus. 

If you are banned across multiple sites, it is likely that your username, email address, or IP address was globally banned by Disqus, usually as a result of being detected as a spam account. If you suspect that you have been wrongly banned, try the following:

  • use a different email service (disposable email services used commonly by spammers will be blocked)
  • use a different account (usernames used by spammers will be blocked)
  • use Disqus from a different IP address (IPs used by spammers will be blocked)
