Personal Information and Security

Due to this ruling on Youtube! we are adopting a new standard of deleting logs after a month. Hopefully other sites also adopt this method.
What this means is, that we will be deleting our log files monthly, that keep track of your pages visited, and your IP addresses. While this information helps us track down multiple accounts and cheaters, at some point in the future that information could be requested by some bully corporation, and if this ruling is any indication, we'd be required to give up your personal information and your browsing habits to that corporation.
To keep it simple, it means that we're protecting your privacy, and making it harder for large corporations to request information about where you've been looking on the internet.
If you share a computer with someone else, you're fine! Don't worry about it :)

Keith, one question. If we have linked to a youtube video from here, then google would have our ip address, right? Or not?

I'm not sure, but if that gives them my IP address, I think I'll delete my youtube from my profile. xD

I actually heard about that in the news last night. Viacom is seriously irritating right now. The only thing they accomplished is for people to be mistrusting of them and their companies.

Sounds good but my mom plays on this too on the same computer. Will this get us frozen?

'Nother one here since people seem to agree: Maybe there should be some sort of tabs system for people who have, well, other family or friends on one IP? Or something similar?

Seriously, major thanks to Keith for this. Suck it up, Internet police, some places don't obsessively stalk their members.

My kids all have accounts, and we just mailed a UA with their account names. That way subeta knows who plays from my house and on my IP address. I'm not worried at all that this new change will cause any problems with me and my children getting frozen for multis.

Nothing on the site will actually be changed. You won't notice any changes, it's purely a backend change.

Your accounts will be fine (including pageviews!) and feel free to continue sharing home computers with other members of your family

my sister has an account on this too and we use the same computer and i also use different computers dads house/moms house/school so please don't freeze me or my sister

Oh and I agree with BioIndustrial, my aunt and unlce (nightangel22 and reptile) both play, and my Sister (fairlina) has an account as well, though she never gets on because she forgot her password xD

Wow. I'll be avoiding youtube for now on.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

What this means is, that we will be deleting our log files monthly, that keep track of your pages visited <br><br> Does that mean our pageviews go away ever month? -clings to 250k pageviews- I'm going for 500k views ;_;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

I'm officially creeped out and paranoid now |D But thanks a splash for this

Great that this is going to have multiple uses, meaning it'll help getting rid of those little boogers that cheat and have multiple accounts and what have you, but what about the people who have 'multiple accounts' because they have more then one person at home using the site? Will they be punished or will it all be looked at case by case? O: Saying this because a few people I know happen to have large families and hence have several accounts to one IP, and they're good people. o-o

All sites generally keep a log file, apache (which powers most of the internets) automagically does it.
