Oh yeah! That’s a good simplified statement of what [I’ve already said](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ideas-for-creating-an-email-profile-thing/25887/6)! But it makes the task of implementing it not at all easier as there are still so many steps needed to make it work. 😃

You do introduce the idea of making it anonymous to begin with, which is a very nice addition. Currently we can create topic with email-in, but they’re not anonymous.

In either case, the created topic need to be done by the email-profile and not by the system like it is today.

Thinking a little bit more about it…

Maybe instead of making an email-profile, it would create an instant anonymous profile based on the email, which could then be used to claim the profile and opt-in to remove anonymous! 🙂
