On: Replacing Disqus with GitHub Comments

[koolba]

That and you need a GitHub login to comment and it'd be tied to it permanently. I'd imagine that solves quite a bit of the spam problem though.

No, it will simply cause github to be overrun by people making accounts just to spam.

I think expecting your users to have a GitHub account to leave comments is a terrible idea. Normal non-developers do not have, do not want, and should probably not be enticed to, make a GitHub account for purposes that have nothing to do with GitHub. Not to mention that unless GitHub themselves state that this is perfectly acceptable, they could take steps at any time to counter/block such usage.
