Remove the Disqus vote up

Question

I am using the disqus 2012. I already have a rating system implemented on my site so wish to remove the star in the top right corner of the comments as it's just a bit confusing. When I hover over it says 'vote up'. is there anyway to remove this from my comments?

Answer 1

Starring has a pretty important function so users can "favorite" or "like" a discussion and share it with users who are following them, so it can't be removed.

The hover state should also now say Star this discussion to be more explicit that this exists for the comment thread only. Hopefully that alleviates any worry of confusing users.
