IntenseDebate

Description

IntenseDebate features
Comment Threading

Improve the conversation within the comment section and reply directly to an individual comment. Indented replies make following various conversations manageable.

Reply-By-Email

Respond to and moderate comments with ease via email, even if you’re on the go. Just because you’re away from your computer doesn’t mean the conversation stops.

Email Notifications

Commenters receive email alerts when a response to their comment is posted, linking them directly to the response. Add in reply-by-email, along with the option to subscribe to all comments and let the debate ensue!

Commenter Profiles

Commenter profiles let you and your readers learn more about each other. Watch the conversation go to new levels once you and your readers are able to get to know each other. Don’t forget, their universal profiles can be used on any site with IntenseDebate!

Moderation/Blacklisting

IntenseDebate offers some truly hardcore moderation options. Customize your settings to moderate by keywords, number of links, commenter email, and/or IP addresses.

Reputation Points & Comment Voting

Your readers will start to build their commenter reputations when they create an IntenseDebate account. Their reputation score is based on the quantity, and more importantly the quality, of the comments they’ve made across all sites with IntenseDebate. Bring the quality comments to the forefront.

Plugins API

We’ve opened up our code for developers to introduce their own creations into the debate. These enhancements include Seesmic video comments, PollDaddy polls, YouTube videos, smileys, and more. Interested in building your own customizations? Check out our Plugins API.
