Signal boosting: don't forward comment notifications

[redbird]

If you forward a comment notification, the recipient can comment on that entry as you. Assuming no malice whatsoever, someone you know and like might state an opinion you disagree with, or say something about their life—job, relationships, medical issues…—that you would rather people not assume is true of you.

ETA: DW answered my support question: this is not an issue there, they fixed it before they went into open beta.

Woah! That's a major security hole, all right. I wonder if Dreamwidth inherited it? I know they have reply-by-email.

That's odd - when I accidentally try that with one of fluffcthulhu's notifications, it doesn't work unless He is logged in on the same machine. Perhaps He has His own special security?

This may be browser-dependent, or it may, indeed, be His special security. I may try logging out and forwarding something to julian_tiger, or vice versa.
