In 2014, Disqus decided to remove the "downvote" arrow count on all comments. Only "upvote" arrow counts would be displayed.
Users complained to Disqus, and they ignored their users and kept the policy.

And I will tell you why they did this: the liberals were getting murdered in the court of internet public opinion.
I saw many discussions (Politico, The Hill, etc) where the liberal comment would get hundreds of "downvotes" and only a few "upvotes." The conservative (and logical) comments would be upvoted like crazy. Those people who tried to praise Obama, abortion, homosexuality, trans-gender garbage, socialism, "free" Govt handouts, etc. - all got their butts handed to them.
And they did not like it one bit.
So they complained, and complained, and complained. Liberals on the Disqus board joined their effort, and that was that.
I, too, have been banned from a couple of websites that use Disqus commentary for dispensing truth by whiny liberals who can't have it for all to see. F em, no great loss to me, plenty more out there. ;)
Another reason to quit Breitbart.
