Re^4: RFC: Add profile field "emergency contact" or such like as

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

I remember a "what happened to BUK" thread You just provoked me into expanding my Perl Monks Vandalism References with a new Missing Monks section. :) Perl Monks Vandalism and Missing Monks References If the "what happened to BUK" thread you remembered is not listed there, it would be good if you could let us know so I can keep searching. 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]

> let us know so I can keep searching. No,no it is, and only now I noticed the guy provoking BUK as BrovvserUK (different letters) was renamed. What a drama ... :) Cheers LänX ;)	[reply]

I just doubt the investment will pay off Maybe. The investment was less than 5 minutes of my time, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Go to User Settings, see the new field 'Next Of Kin POC'. I'm open to ideas for better wording.)	[reply]

5 min of your time for adding another field in user settings is OK! (even if the explanation in the sitedoclet still seems to be missing :) The title says "profile field", I suppose this would have taken longer ;) May I still suggest that the policy regarding email contact is also amended ?

I had originally added this field in User Settings. I have now moved it to the user "profile". It's near the bottom. (PS: We need some members of SiteDocClan to document these recently added features in the FAQ. Please see the SDC To-Do Wiki. TIA)	[reply]

Bottom line, if someone really wants others to know "what happened", he'll already have social contact to others here This is part of the reason why there is a link to my LinkedIn profile on my PM profile...when my demise happens, news will appear on LinkedIn at some point or whatever platform takes it place.
