George, you shouldnt sell access to our IP addresses. PRIVACY TO THE PEOPLE!!!

As i was slated for on previous threads, Elite is ALL about the $$$$, but as i also said, if people want to pay money to be able to preview posts, have little green squares under their name, or even a bigger avatar, then good luck to them. Cant understand it myself tho.

shouldn't we stop drawing attention to this on open forum and delete this thread?

... we all know the risks, nothings COMPELTLY ananomous... unless u log in at a library go in with full cameo, roll around on the floor and keep your full face mask on and log onto your ubscure handle of an EF account... even then, ya can't do that daily, and if you could... you'd get rug burn at some point I'm sure

I vote to delete the thread, we all know.. or should know that even the internet can't be a safe place to discuss all things.... move on and continuing educating yourself about whatever the hell you signed up here or continue chatting in C & C.... that's my opinion. Yeah they're all like assholes, but mine smells like flowers I swear.

What kind of idea is that. How are people suppose to voice their feelings on an issue that could easily lead to abuse.
Elite mods maybe should have it to do the work of alterhunting, but IP addresses to anyone with 900$ is far too dangerous.

I would have to think that this was just something not conceived of and GS always asks for feedback. This was important enough for a thread and obviously the feedback is decidely against ready access to our IP addresses by God knows who that pays for the chairman status.
It is a feature that SHOULD be deleted ASAP. Then balance will be restored, also the mod board should be offlimits as well. At least retroactively b/c mods may have posted confidential info only to be shared with mods.

Now people can read that and disseminate it freely.

I want the only information about me is what I freely volunteer in name, profile and my posts. Absolutely nothing more.
And I believe with a few exceptions, all of the members here feel the same way. Already yesterday, a new Chairman posted someone's IP address and its listed as a feature of going Chairman. BAD IDEA!! Should not offer more access to information about members here. Thats what its selling, IP addresses and MOD discussion of certain members. Breaking down anonymity.

Mods often PM people to help resolve conflicts and that makes its way on the mod forum but nowhere else. Selling that information of members here is just wrong

[SgtSlaughter]

agreed... selling that information is wrong.


Why don't you go ahead and set up a poll then... let the people vote.

instead of voicing opinions... let's give the "powers that be" some hard numbers to work with.
