Isn't it easy to send an email and put whatever email we want as the sender? I was just wondering, does it means anyone could post on the post of someone else?
ATTENTION: We noticed you're sending this from a different
computer or location, so it won't get posted until we're
sure it's you. Please confirm that you sent this.
So, it looks like they've thought about this problem already.
Oh, good question - there is a link in the email to confirm that I want it posted. There is also a dashboard that lets me see all of the attempts and either approve or delete them.
My welcome email from July 2008 has a prominent box that says, "Setting a password for your account is easy. It's optional, but here's why you should..."
Sorry about that; that was a mistake I made when creating the blog. I sent an email prior to creating an account - the system was smart and merged them.
I've removed the extra one, so it should be back down to one.
If the system was ever adopted widely (which I presume the founders desire) I would imagine that spoof posting would be a huge problem if someone could pull it off.
