Stat tracking

[Xeno]

Is there any way to opt out of having your stats monitored, saved and displayed? I just found a load of stat info on me and I would prefer to have it erased.

Umm, where can you see your stats? I didnt know there were stats

You can look up just about anyone there.

There are no official stats, thus we can't delete you from any; stats are entirely something the server admin does. I removed you from the RBI server stats as good as possible, though. In the future, your nickname will get replaced by "anonymous" and anonymous players don't enter the top/bottom records category at the bottom of the stats page.

According to Google, you are on DCC's stats too - to get removed, it would be best to send DCC an email to do so. The mail address is on the bottom of DCC's websites.

If the stats tracking of the RBI server is generally unwanted, I'll tone it down to just report weapon stats, which is the main reason why it is running. As for where the RBI stats are, http://mensa.ath.cx/~polzer/nexlog/totals.html

I'd hate too see those stats go away.. i really like them. It also adds something to the general competition among players

Omg, this is amazing, I never knew there were stats.

Please keep them up

Btw there are two ways to not appear on the DCC stats pages:

1. Don't join the DCC servers.

2. Write your Nick completely in Hex code.

That's obvious, but wouldn't get rid of existing stats entries. To get rid of them, Xeno should mail DCC who put his mail address at the bottom of the page.

Right. But why should I repeart something you already posted? (now you did)...

[Xeno]

I just want to point out that I'm not against stats in general because I realize that they can be fun/interesting... I just don't want my personal stats tracked (which also show WHEN I was on, etc) and I think that people should be made aware that they are being tracked.

Maybe there could be a way to configure a variable (clientside or serverside) so that people who want to be tracked can be, and set it to off by default.
