I am actually a big fan of Disqus - it collects all my comments (from enabled sites) and anyone can see what kind of krep I spew. So they can 'vet' me if I make a complex claim that can't be verified/disproved in Wiki-world in fifteen seconds.

PS - PopSci is a terrible magazine, hurtling towards extinction, so their actions are more about desperation and cutting moderation costs than anything meta, at least in my guesstimation.
