hello.I think the _tor forum_ need to have more privacy for users/members.I say that because the system of _tor forum_ track how many days I was online & how many messages I red & more…
I want PRI-VA-CY.

I agree that this tracking is useless if not dangerous (I don’t know detailed the data are: for example, if the system just counts the days it’s useless but harmless, if it logs the exact days it’s dangerous), and I think gamification is inherently bad - a forum should be just a forum, nothing more. I suppose they are here because Discourse doesn’t provide a way to disable them, but I’m guessing.
It’s not much, but you may want to at least hide your profile (`Preferences > Profile` and tick `Hide my public profile`, then `Save Changes`).

hello.I didn’t think lot of peoples think the same thing of me…it is very useless._tor_ is made to have privacy and not useless and anti-privacy fuctions like this…for this time,we can send messages like this (against the team & moderators)…about moderators,EVERY messages need to be approved by a moderator (maybe because some messages are censored)…I am OK with your ideas…if other people see this message and agree with us,they can come to try to make privacy of this forum change…
tor is made to make people anonymous (useless tracking on the forum).
tor is made to fight against censorship (comfirmation of messages).

You can use Discourse mailing list mode.
