The fact that they may or may not be logged in is completely
irrelevant if the terms and conditions clarify that their username has
nothing to do with the option of supplying an Original Author name as
provided for in CC-BY-SA. In fact, it's pretty clear that many people
choose their username without any regard for attribution.
