One of the things we like about Tender is that users aren't forced into a sign-up procedure in order to leave feedback. Unfortunately, the Start a Discussion form still requires that they type something/anything into the Email field. Sure, it's better if they can include their email address but if they don't want to then we still want to hear what they have to say. Considering this field isn't even validated as an email address (it happily accepts "bla" and "getlost", for example), could you consider not including this field in your form validation and then changing it to say "Email (optional)" beside the text field?

    Quick feedback is definitely one of Tender's core values (and probably why I left out an email validation). Making the field completely optional is probably a good step too. We'll consider this. Thanks for the suggestion!
