Just to make it clear, if somebody proposed himself as a member of a team, then that person has an email address set, although he may have chosen not to display it. I think this is the case here. > My idea was to deny users without a mail address joining teams.

Another possibility would be to show the preferred email of the proposed member on the /people/<team-name>/+member/<proposed-member-name> page. Although it may not be nice from us to show the user's email address when he asked us not to do so, I think it's somewhat reasonable, since that user proposed himself as a member of the team. We could even warn the user that proposing himself as a member of a team will give the admins of the team the right to see his email addresses, in case he have chosen not to show them. How does it sound? Cheers, -- Guilherme Luis R. Salgado -- launchpad-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
