Spot.IM’s recirculation widget has the text ‘Popular in the community’ and below
it features a Google ad. Google Adsense consider this to be a ‘misleading ad’ due
to the text. Google has permanently banned by site due to policy violation because
of using this plugin.

### 󠀁[Buggy. Facebook comments are better, more native.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buggy-facebook-comments-are-better-more-native/)󠁿

Very buggy. Broke twice during updates. No, I do not want to “reimagine” my comments.
I want them to work and we don’t want to embarrass ourselves in front of our audience—
which was what happened, objectively speaking, when hundreds of visitors suddenly
got a syntax error. SO…. No. Thank you.

Spot.IM helps spark community interactions across all websites! It gives the user
a more dynamic experience, allowing him to partake in discussions, conversations
and more with an interface that’s easy to use.

### 󠀁[An Amazing Solution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-amazing-solution-2/)󠁿

 [Matt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt11239/) May 23, 2017

At first I was a bit hesitant about switching my communities commenting system and
starting over again, but that was before I realized I could import my previous discussions
and not lose anything at all. Spot.IM allowed me to quickly put an elegant community
system on my site for free, while using conversations from my previous application.
Spot.IM definitely saved me a lot of time and worrying. I would recommend this to
anyone looking to retain a community, increase the time users stay on your site,
and want state of the art community management and moderation tools.
