To MNHQ - A forced Log In puts abused/vulnerable people at risk

I have only logged in to feedback to MNHQ.

I know there is already a thread on the forced Log In running in Site Stuff but wanted to start a thread on this specific issue.

Please, please consider all the people who use your site who are in abusive relationships/vulnerable positions. If you intend to make users Log In to Mumsnet then you are potentially putting these people in a high risk situation. Others could find their posts. This could happen via shared devices, keyloggers, history seraches or a user forgetting to log out (especially likely for a stressed person).

Please think very carefully about the implications for this section of mumsnet users. It could be high risk and very damaging. Please do not isolate these people further. Please have some compassion for them.

Has this been discussed at MNHQ? I hope you will consider this when you are deciding if you are continuing with the forced log in in the future. I have always seen Mumsnet as a supportive place so I would imagine you will think of this?
