Hi ESMB,
I wanted to say thank you to Emma and all the contributors for providing an interesting website.
I was a Scientology public for a few years.
I've read some of the stories and I learned some interesting new things about Scientology that I didn't get from the other sources I had available, e.g. books or documentaries. I'm glad for my own sake that you guys exist here on the Internet.
I had a few questions that I was unable to answer without creating an account.
1. Are the email addresses of members visible to other members? The FAQ says I should use a throwaway email account, but I wasn't sure why it says this.
2. Why is it not possible to access your website using the Tor browser? I can access e.g. MS2 using Tor, but not ESMB. (Tor is a tool for browsing the web anonymously)
3. Have you ever considered providing a "spoiler tag" for data that Scientologists might not want to see while they are reading this forum? I guess some people will laugh at me for asking this, and maybe it is at odds with the philosophy of the site, but I know that these tags are used on other forums e.g. when discussing video games or movies. I was somewhat annoyed to come across the Clear EP when reading somebody's story (I can't find the actual post right now, but I remember that I found the EP stated in a follow-up reply by a different user, not the story's author)... You can Google "vbulletin spoiler tag" for example to see how to set this up, and of course it would require a bit of searching and editing existing posts, which might be a lot of effort for the moderators, but I think it would be a nice thing to do.
Thank you again.
Please be patient.
