Shaniqua Posted December 13, 2018 #1 Posted December 13, 2018 If a player decides they rather be hidden, and not partake in the contest, so their name doesnt show up on the "Races" leader board is this possible? Feels like the leaderboard page privacy issue all over again, but presented in another form.. i figure there has got to be at least a couple players in the mix that dont want their username to be shown in the list (anywhere on the list tbh) and yes i know that most people only see the top 6 or top 5. but anyways. I figure id should ask... am i the only one who feels potential privacy issue at stake? (haha get it ? its a pun i think)
BLXN Posted December 13, 2018 #2 Posted December 13, 2018 well, you can't see their bets, just their wager.. if they were to win the race, and their name would be revealed anyway.

I think my browser started running really heavy when they added whatever new code to the site. . total wager is different from the amount wagered during the race, is it not?
Etude Posted December 13, 2018 #5 Posted December 13, 2018 This is because this is a special event where the prize for wagering alot is above privacy concern. Also to prevent potential alternate account abuse possibly.

"possibly".... justy now

We do however have plans to include an opt out function for future races.

williamshennie9 Posted December 13, 2018 #9 Posted December 13, 2018 I think having an opt out option will be extremely helpful for those who do not want their usernames revealed.
Magneon Posted December 13, 2018 #10 Posted December 13, 2018 Normally, I also want privacy at certain times on the site ...
Bigmann23 Posted December 13, 2018 #11 Posted December 13, 2018 There should be an opt-out opption at least i would think for those that dont want there names shown.
DviouS Posted December 13, 2018 #12 Posted December 13, 2018 Is it really that big of a deal? lol ... Am I missing something here.. ?
Etude Posted December 13, 2018 #13 Posted December 13, 2018 I think the case in point currently since the whole "Races" event is actually something of a Christmas'ish to New Years promotional event it would only make sense for the top players and names to be shown to increase authenticity of the player actually exists than just a simple "Hidden", can you imagine a promotional event where all top 20 players are "Hidden". Yes a opt-out option would be a good thing to be added, but I believe it means to forgo participation as a whole instead of just identity? These decisions are frankly up to the developers and Stake itself. This is just two cents of my thoughts of this discussion.
Kristoffff Posted December 13, 2018 #14 Posted December 13, 2018 I like the whole transparent thing, but I do agree you cant OPT-out of it if you want to. I can only hope those high wagering fellas dont get annoyed too much by beggars and that they have set some privacy settings set.
