Agree - a checkbox would be an improvement. But even this could be overlooked as people (like myself) may be expecting a single user to appear in the results - and be surprised when a page of email addresses appears.
My preference is to error on the side of (a) respecting people’s privacy & (b) not logging the moderator as an email snoop. Therefore, I’d rather see the results and then choose whether to display the personal / private email addresses.
My ideal outcome would be:
- Have a checkbox to show/hide email addresses &
- Don’t show email addresses automatically after a search.
