  From what I can tell, it sounds like you only need to know the md5 hash of someone’s email address to be able to use their Gravatar. This seems too easy to me. Someone has been impersonating me on other WordPress blogs and using my Gravatar, and I don’t want this to be possible unless they actually know my Gravatar password. Why is Gravatar set up like this?

  Don’t use the support forums for testing your gravatar. Use the thread in the off-topic forum that is specifically for that purpose.
