Mcgiwer, your attitude is reminding me of kids in the playground. It's no use tattling on Hayford when you started off on the wrong foot by calling a policy "stupid". That's hardly professional.
In fact, the requirement is not stupid, it's carefully thought out, which you would know had you read up about it if you had concerns.
If there are details about your life you'd rather not give, fine, keep silent about them.
You have missunderstand me. I meaned that the 50 is too big required digit. My bio is about 1 - 3 lines of text (without any private informations).
Any respectable staff members shuden't give any rude anwsers - that gives him, the staff and the whole portal and/or forum a bad reputation. That cases, that the users are keeping away from them.
And here is my advice: be more polute to the people and don't reject recklessness the user account requests when sombody has a short bio or some form values are missing (this can be caused with temporary missing of data that should be typed in). All this is reflecting Your reputation. Addiotionally it can hapen, that with Your actions You are scaring away many specialists in different branches who don't want to give so many informations about them.
