I don't apparently have permission to post/reply in Checker News but saw the recent post on privacy changes. https://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,117545 QUESTION: My stats have been hidden from all except friends because I had a stalker. How will the changes affect me? Will HQ just allow us to post our own checker results? (FWIW I had logs deleted by a CO who didn't follow the official rules and insisted I post script from Project GC and not a screenshot of my stats, which is a whole other issue of course!) If I had to make all my stats and finds open publicly I would have to stop using challenge checkers. That would mean HQ forcing people to be public and I would think that also breaks privacy laws?
