If you liked your privacy then you wouldn't post on forums. Moderators can see your IP addresses, they know where you live, they can see your profile even if the forum has it set to private, etc... the point of the Lodestone is to act as a reference for other players. If you want to join a LS they may want proof of your "qualifications" with the Lodestone they can do that. They can see if you have a level 50 class with the important sub classes leveled that you would need abilities from to maximize your effectiveness in battle, they can see if you have completed certain content. They can see how active you are by payign attention to your history entries...

It does more good then harm. If you dont like your information being out there then don't play. As far as /anon in game is concerned, it's pointless. If you don't like being bothered use chatfilters, /blist, ignore people, whatever. Whenever I saw a /anon in FFXI it made me wonder what they were trying to hide (like an underleveled subjob or whatever) /anon is just shady, and I don't trust people who use it or want it.
