++ Thanks for your reply.

If there's no field/checkbox/whatever then there's no issue at all.

I often encourage people to register on the basis that it's very simple and asks for minimal information. In my opinion, this just muddies the waters by (optionally) requesting information that PM shouldn't hold in the first place.

My opinion could be swayed if presented with a scenario where this information would be essential. From the OP (my emphasis):

"I has happened from time to time that some monks have expressed concern over the unexpected and prolonged absense of another monk. In at least one case, a monk contacted the gods to see if a reachout could be done."

I don't consider that to be sufficient reason to implement this change.

I'm more than happy to discuss this further. :-)
