We're going to be moving all our game comments, profile comments, MMO comments and editorial comments over to Disqus as early as this Friday. Because of this, I wanted to give you a FAQ to help solve any mysteries on the process...
What about Merits?
Merits will not live on our website in the same way, they can't be tied directly into the Disqus system which means they will no longer be comment-based. A simple Merit system will be created on our launch Friday that will grow more robust with time - allowing moderators/admins to merit people directly. Later e-mail notifications will be added to this as well.
You can also "Feature" a comment in Disqus, so that could also be awarded with your merit.
What about non-AG armatars?
A big concession we had to make with the Disqus system is that a Disqus account trumps our normal user accounts. This means users can name themselves whatever they like, and associate any armatar they like to their profile.
There will be alterations in our rules that discuss impersonation of other users, especially Moderators/Admins that will result in permanent bans. Also utilizing any exclusive armatars will result in a warning and possible further punishment.
Guest Accounts?
Guest accounts will be killed on site, and your real account warned. Guest accounts are not allowed on our Disqus comments.
Colored text for Knights/Admins/Moderators?
Not available right now in Disqus. You'll notice our accounts have "Moderator" next to our names. This text may change, but it means that person has moderator powers over Disqus comments.
What about total comment count?
This should be worked on before launch as well, nobody should lose their comment counts, just add on to their total.
What about old comments?
Still unknown the degree we'll be transferring over old comments. I'd love to hear your opinions though. This obviously is very tedious work, but I think me and @boppins agree that certain games (or comments) should make it over.
Today, I think Disqus logged me out....but when I attempt to sign back in with AG, it doesn't allow me to? Plus, it seems warped because I see people with their old armatars on Disqus?
[quote=Patrick2011]Disqus Related Error: Apparently, I cannot log in to Disqus via Armor Games now, even though I am logged in on AG. I discovered this just a few minutes ago when going to my profile.[/quote]
Do you allow JavaScript and cookies for disqus.com and disquscdn.com?
I noticed this too, i dont see my armatar, only this neutral guest avatar. When i click on the msg box ill see this "login things", cn if i click on AG and login again... no change, still guest avatar.
Also my armatar wnot displayed correct in older post, instead of my beloved Knight armatar i see a normal user armatar, the rhino.
