506769 - Remove or deemphasize Name and Email fields on Feedback form

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Hendrix, defect)

Description

[David Boswell]

On Hendrix, can we either remove the Name and Email fields or deemphasize those fields (by moving them down closer to the warning and/or labeling Name as optional and moving "optional" right next to Name and Email instead of at the end of the line)?

Even after we moved the notice about information being made public above the Submit button, we're still getting emails from people asking to have their feedback responses removed from the public newsgroup archives.

As someone said in a recent email, even with the notice it is reasonable to assume that the name and email information is being kept for contact purposes only and isn't part of what is getting published publicly:

"It says don't provide personal information, but on the other hand offers a name field.  That implies that a persons name would not be one of those publicly available fields when in fact it is.  I assumed the name field was for contact information purposes only.  That's a reasonable assumption."

They are now both marked as "optional", and the word is before rather than after the text box.
