Comment on Disqus Research: Pseudonyms Drive Communities

Comments

My issue with Disqus' pseudonyms is that they don't seem to be personally owned.

I selected a pseudonym, put in an email and a password, made a few comments... then I realized that some girl's photo is next to my comments! Apparently I hijacked her account.

If you registered an account with your email address you wouldn't have been able to hijack someone else's account -- all registered accounts are tied to unique email addresses. Can you reach out to us at http://disqus.com/support with some more specific details? We'd be happy to help get everything clarified.
