I recently moved my site away from Disqus and onto wpDiscuz. I've had it for almost a week now and people are getting used to it. I think I've finally got the configuration optimal for my users.
But because they came from the Disqus environment, there are two requests I get the most for the new wpDiscuz. So I thought I would pass them along.
- Web notifications. People got used to this feature with Disqus and prefer it by leaps and bounds over email notifications. I would easily pay more to get this.
- Blocking users: The ability for some users to block other users that they don't like was also a feature on Disqus and one they loved.
wpDiscuz is a great product and I appreciate all the work you've put into it. I've looked at other comment systems and I feel confident I picked the best one.
Thanks!
Thank you @therightscoop for these suggestions. I really appreciate you taking a time and share your ideas.

This is already under consideration. We're thinking to add such a feature in future releases.

I'm sorry, but there is no such feature. I can suggest you check out the following add-ons' features:
- wpDiscuz Report and Flagging it has a built-in auto moderation if the comments get X flagged (X set by admins) and X vote down. More info here: https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-report-flagging/
- wpDiscuz Frontend Moderation that allows adding comment author to blacklist and trash, But this add-on is designed for high-level users (admin, moderator, etc). More info here: https://gvectors.com/product/wpdiscuz-frontend-moderation/
