        For that reason I'm quitting posting there. 7 of my posts were flagged as spam probably due to a "lock everything" measure instead of giving it the proper attention-fix, every retry I made was rejected plus the place is filled with spam-copy posts from bots that are not being ever removed despite the flagging. Never liked disqus and this was the nail in the coffin.

          When Opera moderators are replying to spam/clone bots,
          not noticing that the text is a direct duplicate from a previous post – I think there is little hope for resolution.

            @vegelund Depending on the comment, it may not be that easy to note that it's a cloned one.

              @xirit32 It was probably Disqus anti-apam blocking your comments there.

                @leocg Probably or not probably I'm done with it. If you look at some blog posts there it is still an unmoderated mess.

                  No response or proposed solution to this?

                  Check out comments in this blog post, almost more copy bots than normal users:

                    @vegelund There's nothing much that Opera can do other than, maybe, change the commenting system.

                    Disqus is the one who should do something about it.

                      @leocg I'm not totally sure about it as I haven't seen THAT many bots/spam in any other website that uses disqus. Not that I wouldn't be happy if they would ditch it anyway since I never liked it.

                        @xirit32 Maybe those websites aren't that popular as Opera's blog. 😃

                          @leocg Nah, I wouldn't say Opera's blog is so popular, the beta/stable comments rarely reach 50-100 comments and even the dev reaches what max 200 comments? I've seen in pcgamer.com articles with 1200+ comments and never such a tragedy.
