Collaboration idea for various trackers

I don't understand what confuses you. If I'm using a single website, and I want to turn anonymous (and assuming I'm allowed to do that), where's exactly the problem?

 

one interesting use of the shared exclude list is that anyone obtaining could then do something mischievous like run a tracker site that focuses on capturing and showing all those that think they have something to hide

 

I wouldn't give a damn, really. Anyone can extract the names, and you shouldn't blame the websites for it. As admin already noted, people should raise a public concern regarding their names getting displayed in the open, or at-least ask Mindark to implement a feature to filter out the avatar's name in the chat log.

 

We all know this isn't going to happen, as this is prone to errors .
Are you planning to connect multiple different websites to the same MySQL (or be it a file) database? How is this going to work exactly? Who will be hosting and taking all the traffic? What happens if the hosting server collapses?.. too much thought put into making ten users anonymous, in my opinion.

 

By "site" I did mean the location in the universe, since it would allow tracking CND globals va planetary globals, etc... well for those locations that pimp themselves in globals anyway. :)

Location may indeed be a better label for that field.

 

Starfinder, did you just publish a list of names of people that want to remain private? Do yourself a favour and remove that link, seriously.

And i think has just ended all considerations about cooperation in privacy...




And what exactly is the idea behind having an "info" node with only one child node called "hiddenAvatar"? I mean, you have used xml before, no?

 

Thats nothing but an assumption - by default you should treat ANY customer data as "private" - you just violated that (very basic) rule...

Please remove the link.

 

It doesn't read "Moderator", does it?
And i prefer you do that to show you've understood the problem - i'm too busy and you are too old for this kind of babysitter shit, really.

 

looks like im part of the community of trackers....

doh! too late!

 

Well the core of the problem is that MindArk chooses to publish the globals in everyone's chat logs. There should really be an in-game option to turn it off, to satisfy the privacy fetishists. Of course that may be against MAs business model (can't turn off the HoF spam etc) - has anyone actually asked them?
