how to know if an account Gravatar is fake or not?
-
Good evening,
I would know some information on how Gravatar works.
When an account Gravatar make a comment in my site, i can see if the profile is fake or not? maybe seeing the email or some data that certificate the veracity of the account?
Because this can make some problems, for example anyone might make a fake account without control or verification
thanks for the support. -

Hi there,
We don’t control or verify whether the name someone gives when creating a Gravatar profile is their real name or not. Nor does Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Reddit, or any other online service. That’s not how online profiles work.
We do not provide the email address associated with a Gravatar/WordPress.com profile under any circumstances.
I have fifteen different Gravatar profiles, and none of them contain my real name, including this one I’m using to comment here on the forums. That doesn’t mean it’s fake. It just means I’m protecting my personal information and choose how I want people on the web to know me.
