I'm still not sure I fully understand how the Disqus API create_post request is supposed to work.

For example if I click on the user profile picture for this lone comment:
http://gastronomicfightclub...

I'm directed to this page:
http://disqus.com/people/73...

Which tells me:
"We couldn't find anyone with that email address."

Yet the email displays just fine in the mailto so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'd appreciate some help.

So I'm going to try re-importing in all of my comments. Is there an easy way to mass delete all of the existing comments?

Sorry, hit reply on the wrong comment. See my comment below.

I guess what I meant was if I import in an address of noreply+John Smith@gmail.com and John Smith want's to "claim" his comments on Disqus, how would that work?

No, you can put any email address. Only some Disqus sites require email-verified accounts, but in general users don't have to verify.

I'm assuming it has to be a valid email address? Like do they have to respond to an email to verify or something?

Yes, it's caused by the e-mail address. Unfortunately, claiming of comments is based on email address right now, so if it isn't there there's no way you can do it.
