In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginYou’ve never said it, but it doesn’t matter because you guys have been championing this out of place system. And negativism? This is reality gVectors Team. You have a product for public consumption, there will be negative views.
Moving on, none of the third-party options are good enough for any serious web admin. Social Login is a big example. Barely sees an update. Last update came after around 2-years of inactivity. The icons are outdated and the design leaves much to be desired. It stands out like a sore thumb on any website.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginInstead of listening to users and make changes to your product where necessary, these are the responses you guys deliver. Man I’m not trying to attack your work, I’m just pointing out flaws and you guys keep turning a blind eye and saying I’m this and that.
Your loss though.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginYou’re wasting your time. This is one of the reason’s why every comment plug-in must have a built-in social log-in feature instead of relying on third-party plug-ins. You want this plug-in to work exactly as advertised? You’re going to have problems and these guys will likely tell you off rather than listen to reason or even try to genuinely help with concerns for that matter..
I recommend the Jetpack Comment system, or Epoch with its social plugin. (social plugin created by Epoch team.) or even Disqus. If you were not aware, it is possible to add WordPress as a long-in option. Just check Disqus support pages and you’ll find out how.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginI don’t need to understand you guys and what you all go through, that is not my concern, that’s yours so don’t seek my pity man. What you need to understand is how to take criticisms without accusing users.
You create something for public consumption, there will be harsh criticisms, even if you view some as unfair. That’s life for you. Don’t only live it, understand it, accept it and move on.
At the end of the day, my criticisms of your plugin is solid and on the money, and you guys know it, but can’t handle the truth and are not willing for others to see it. So you decide to single me out as the bad guy.
You know what? People complain about Disqus and Jetpack every day, yet they still use them. The ratings for Disqus is lower than this plugin, yet admins are still using it.
Your plugin will only please WordPress users for a short while then they will return to the horror that is Disqus. Why? It is a complete package, and admins want to use less plugins, not more.
With Disqus, you can almost be sure that next year it will be around, it will work. Who can be sure of the social plugins required for your plugin to really shine? You either create a complete package or don’t bother at all, because everyone will eventually revert back to Disqus.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginI installed the plugin, used it, didn’t find it to my liking, and as such, made my complaints clear in a review. What more do you want? You people must be crazy.
I don’t have to make feature request separate from a review. You read the review, and if you guys feel the need to take what I had to say into consideration, then fine. If not, that’s fine too, it’s up to you.
You can’t take criticisms so you guys accuse users having an agenda. That is childish because my review is just one review of many, and you folks had to go out of your way to make a huge deal out of it just because I didn’t fall in line like a robot.
At the end of the day, you either like the review or you didn’t. You either want to make changes based on what I said, or you don’t. But don’t try to tell me what I should or should not say about a plugin because it is free.
You opened your plugin to the public, so folks are free to say what they believe, not to see you guys get all emotional like a child who had his or her candy taken away.
Go make ridiculous comments to someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about.

In reply to: [Starbox - the Author Box for Humans] I do not recommend this plugin.Ask for help? Tell that to the many folks in the support section who are not getting help. Why should I waste my time when others have done the same, yet no one replied back to them?
And how about you tell me how to fix my problem, and go tell the others as well.
1-star because the thing doesn’t work and no support.
The developers call Epoch a alternative to Disqus, but it is not. When you install Disqus, everything you require is right there. The plugin might have issues with load times among other things, but folks are willing to make the sacrifice regardless because it is the only good solution that works out of the box.
Many admins like myself, are seeking a solid comment system outside of Disqus and Jetpack. But every new one that comes along that seems to have potential, requires 1 or more plugins for full functionality.
If a plugin stops working, you have to jump to an alternative, and if that alternative stop working, there might not be another one good enough.
I thought it was common knowledge that folks want to use less plugins, not more.
I believe that comment plugin developers who want to compete with Disqus need to deliver an integrated package or just don’t bother at all, because at the end of the day, some might switch, but they will always return to Disqus due to the seamless integration of key features, and the peace of mind knowing that there’s a 90 percent chance the features will still be around a year from now.
I can’t say the same about the plugins Epoch requires to deliver optimal functionality.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginThis is what I was trying to point out to the developers. The reason most WP users are not running from Disqus or Jetpack comments is because these things do not require the user to download more plugins.
The features are built-in, and as such, everything works in a seamless manner.
A lot of administrators want to minimize the amount of plugin they use, so despite Disqus being a comment system that may take a while to load among many other bad things, people will always use it.
Instead of looking into what I have to say, the developer of this plugin chose to accuse me of having an agenda. Such a childish way of thinking, and so unprofessional.
My intention was to give this 3 stars, but it doesn’t matter now. I just hope you guys look into the concerns I made.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginOK I am done here. I made my opinion clear and you’re trying to make it seem as if I have an agenda. Look, not everyone are going to have good things to say about your plugin, and you need to learn how to live with that.
Good day.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Requires Another PluginNo, I’m not here just to decrease the rating of this plugin. I believe not having a built-in social login feature is a disadvantage to me and my website. And while what I am talking about is truly not “3/5 part of plugin functions and features,” it is a huge minus for me, so please understand from my point of view.
Also, you should bear in mind that in the Front End feature list, the following is part of it:
“Social Network Login – Facebook, Twitter, Google+, WordPress, VK, OK and others.”
I downloaded the plugin because I thought these things were built-in, not knowing before hand that I would need to download another plugin to get the social features.
One of those plugins require a subscription to get the best out of it. I think it limits the amount of persons who can login through its service. The best of the bunch haven’t been updated since 2014, and doesn’t officially support the latest version of WordPress. The others are just not good enough.
I think it would be best to add your own social login feature while also giving users the option to use third-party plugins.
