So if you used your tormail account for your forum registration...that sucks or what? Anything you can do to protect yourself. Make a new one. You cant even delete posts that you started i believe soooo......
It is all anonymous sooo I guess it doesn't matter right? Still make a new one to be safe? Suggestions?

Kind of surprises me that an email address is required for these forums .. ?

Change your email in your profile settings. Keep in mind that you can just make up any random email, and it's even recommended that you do so when signing up. I'm fairly sure this forum doesn't send out any emails, so there should be nothing in your Tormail inbox connecting you to SR.

Someone I know says they just made up an email address when they registered..

What happens with email headers on mails from the forum s/w ? I suppose it all originates from a Tor IP, but still.. seems like an unnecessary link between the forums and the "real" world. That's presuming the forum s/w sends some kind of notifications to whatever email address you give when you sign up? Otherwise what's the point in requiring an email address?

Holamigo, you can literally use any fake, made-up email and it will work just fine. My email on this site is donkeydiddiddykongdidhe@coolshitbyvideogamecompany.eu, which I'm absolutely certain is not even a real email address.

Cool. It's just that in the profile setting it says "this must be a valid email address" ! :)

I wouldn't be to worried. Whats the point in wasting your mental energy on worry
-
Nobody in this thread read the message that's posted on the registration page, where the first thing it says is you should MAKE UP a fake email address.

Yup sorry, false alarm. Thanks peeps just checked it in account settings and all good. Still a good idea to check if you're not sure.
