At Richters we recently received a complaint about some of the requirements for signing up for this forum. This person wanted to sign up but was uncomfortable with the requirement that she provide her gender and birthday, and she ultimately chose not to become a member. We agree that supplying gender and birthdate are unnecessary invasions of privacy for a forum of this type.
There does not seem to be a way to remove those requirements. But we note that the forum software is set to undergo a major revision at the end of 2013 and perhaps the new software gives administrators the option to fine tune the sign up requirements.
In the meantime, it is possible for members to hide their gender, birthdate and email address, by going into the profile section and adjusting the various privacy settings.
We at Richters would like to stress this forum is not formally affiliated with Richters. It was created by a SeedZoo customer and enthusiast on his own initiative. Naturally we are interested in what goes on here but we are not using this forum for any commercial purpose.
