    the same way any online data is handled, you give the user a choice.

    do I want to turn my parser on?
    do I want to share this parser information with others?

    Some seem to want to argue they have a right to see other's data. Personally, I don't mind either way, just being able to see my own information would be useful enough.

    I am totally behind the choice. Just match players who choose the same one together to preserve equality.

    While I'm not against the choice, you should really think of what reaction people might have to someone hiding their numbers. Especially when things go south. Honestly think about it. Now looking at the rest of the parties numbers may not give them your exact numbers, but it wouldn't be hard to roughly know.

    The only way this would be beneficial at all is, as Archeall said, you had two seperate DFs, one for parsing and the other not. I can tell you the queue times would be a lot longer in one than the other.

    If they decide to be nasty, there's a separate lot of rules for that. Those people would be the same whether they could see numbers or not, frankly.

    Ok, I'm afraid you missed the point. It's not so much about them being nasty, while they may be more likely to. It's about the how they would reach the conclusion that the one hiding their numbers were the issue, and remove/coach them the same as if they showed them. Asnd since those people would be the same, what is the benefit of coding it as such.

    Like I said, I'm not against it. Indon't see the point in it though, it just seems like people are grasping at straws when they suggest it.

    Also why is it that with this solution, "If they decide to be nasty, theres a set of rules for that." Yet when it comes to parsers over all it's "That will just make people nasty! No way!"
