I’ve just installed Disqus, a neat blog comment management system on this site, joining over 4000 blogs.

Disqus is a blog comment management system that effectively turns comments on a blog into a community.

I like Disqus because the profile page provided for each commenter at Disqus.com adds an additional level of accountability to each comment, something I think surpasses its ‘threaded comments’ feature which is what initially attracted me to it.

However, as fantastic as it is, Disqus lacks something I really need:

Comment Voting

Apologies to everyone who has tried voting in the iPhone giveaway since we applied last night’s patch to prevent negative voting.

As you can see, all comments that had previously received negative votes have had their (negative) vote tally reset to 0.

The few comments currently showing up with positive votes either received those before the patch was applied or had those cast to test the patch as it was being applied.

I am aware that there is currently a problem with voting and we are working very hard to fix it. We will be resetting all votes to zero as promised.

Sincere apologies for the protracted silence, I have been really busy today attending to other Real Fresh TV business stuff.

The good news is that the plugin developer behind Comment Karma, the WordPress Comment Voting plugin in use on the site got back to me (fairly quickly, it must be said) with advice on how to make the changes necessary to allow only positive comment voting in the first British iPhone giveaway and my web developer is now working on implementing them.

You may well see the changes take effect over the next few hours.
