The only issue I have is the staff applications. I'm not too fond with the idea of it being a requirement to provide full legal name. It's the first time I seen a site ask for such a thing in regards to signing up to take on any role. Sadly because of that requirement, I won't be applying for helper role. I don't want anyone knowing that personal info about me and I still don't see the need to provide that kind of info for applying to be part of staff. Besides that, everything looks good.

It goes along with the NDA, in that as a helper/staff, you’re gonna be handling sensitive information about users, and verifying you are who you are and that you’re not going to misuse the data is, in my eyes, understandable.

Larger sites, Otherkin-centered or not, run similarly for this reason, it’s just not done as often in this community for whatever reason. That being said, I totally understand the hesitation to provide your real name and whatnot. This is just the safety measures we take around here when hiring on staff. Hope that helps!  :heartj:
