fflogs and privacy

[Aravell]

I don't get why people always say stuff like this doesn't work if you have an opt-in system, it's very easy to just mark everyone that didn't opt-in as anonymous.

The data will all be there and you can use it just fine, you just will not be able to look up someone and stalk their logs if they don't opt-in.

Yeah this the way they should have done it. It should be an active choice to expose your logs and just have the data anonymous for anyone who doesn't need to. It is a useful tool and we as a community should be pushing them and creators of other tools we deem useful to be something that players opt-in to use.

To the OP, this is really a community issue that we have to solve ourselves. SE has no say over external websites. And even though Yoshi-P knows they're out there any official acknowledgement could be misconstrued as allowing the add-on that gets the information. So this is an instance where we need to clean up our own house.
