The task to amend this area is in my hands, I am afraid! I hope, in the not too distant future, to deploy a change that will allow submitters to a) completely hide their identity (except the submmitter id) b) reveal their name but not email address c) reveal their email address (with an indication they researching the name) Separately submitters will be able to say if they are willing to accept corrections. This they will be able to do without revealing their email address. It was a bigger job than I thought when I started it, but it's nearly there!

In fact this subject was discussed a year ago. On the one hand it is useful to have feedback and corrections where appropriate. But it is not that long ago that one transcriber had a less than pleasant exchange with a determined user. On the other hand all those submitting personal and one-name study data would generally welcome contacts from users who may turn out to be related or have further family information. We are, after all providing a service for family historians. A year ago I suggested that a pragmatic solution would be a choice for systematic transcribers to conceal their email addresses and one-namers to reveal them, if they wish. If so there would need to be an option on the Transcriber's page to show or conceal one's email address. If the address is concealed then a default FreeBMD address would be necessary for corrections (perhaps routed to Virginia if she has not had second thoughts!)
