I see 4 types of monks here

• regulars who were extremely careful to hide their identity, I remember a "what happened to BUK" thread, and those won't share any emergency contact.
• regulars which keep their identity confident inside a small group of other regulars, they can be contacted via said group if there is a similar thread.
• regulars with open or (semi) open identity like me, they are easily googled.
• non-regulars, well who would care to know

Bottom line, if someone really wants others to know "what happened", he'll already have social contact to others here.

Or is anyone here belonging to a 5th group, wanting to explain their case?

Update

I mean yeah, we can add a secret textarea in settings or in edit-profile to fill in an emergency contact. I just doubt the investment will pay off 🤷🏻‍♂️
