The thing about Disqus that bugs me is its branding. It puts its name on every page thrice and its url twice. Because registration is so front-and-center on its comment form, I feel disinclined to use it to post. Furthermore, despite claims that it can be really well integrated, every time I see it it stands out - not really terribly, but I hate being able to instantly differentiate it from other comment systems.
Also, something about the up-and-down buttons piss me off. They look too grubby. And since they look the same on every blog, that quickly gets annoying.

- shutter 18y agoYou can remove the branding with CSS rather easily. I've looked for any guidelines on that in their TOS, but I don't see any. I removed the big Disqus logo on from my comments page, but people can still see that it's Disqus. Their guidelines for use don't seem to mention whether they're OK with people removing their logo; they just say that you can customize it with CSS. Whether that's ethical I guess could be an entirely different debate... that being said, if they explicitly mentioned that you cannot remove branding, I'd put it back.
