MyDDO and Privacy Rights

[Fenrisulven6]

Bottom line: Any feature that allows gf/wife/boss to see what hours you play is not a good thing.

Turbine, please allows users to go anonymous.

I can see how MyDDO is useful, but the people that need to be screened out probably cant find MyDDO to begin with.

lol. There should be an option to show or hide your character log at least, that's the only section that has timestamps.

They have an anonymous setting, but if you tell someone your character name, you aren't really anonymous anymore. There is no other way to see who your characters are with only a forum name, if your characters are anonymous.

Please don't use the word "rights" in this context. Your "rights" begin and end with 'unsubscribe'.

Obviously many people want changes to MyDDO. But you are not entitled to any such change. It's Turbine's decision and they'll make it based on what they perceive as being best for the company.

[Impaqt]

So you gonna want the Timestamps removed from our forum posts next?

Yes! I don't want my boss knowing when I was posting on the forums!

Actually, that's not true – not even a little.

Turbine would be the first to admit that legal considerations trump their right to design MyDDO as they wish. This being the case, the only real question here is whether or not posting a character’s play times constitutes a violation of one's right to privacy.

And I have strong doubts that it does.

Wrong. I'm talking about the inalienable right, not the EULA.

Obviously. Thats why I posted my obvious request here.

Like making a Suggestion Forum to take input from customers?

Which "inalienable" right would that be?

Just tell your Boos that playing DDO while on the job is your pursuit of Happiness.... and if he doesnt like it, you'll take him to court!

[Fenrisulven6]

Which "inalienable" right would that be?

The rights you have regardless of whether or not they're written down on some document in DC.

If you're so secretive about when you play DDO, why are you telling you girlfriend/wife/boss what your toon names are so they can track you on myDDO?

I understand if you're playing at work when you're supposed to be, you know, working ( ), you wouldn't want your boss to see that you are doing this. But why are you telling your boss your toon names and about myDDO anyway? And why are you playing at work when you know you shouldn't be? I would think in this kind of economy you'd be doing all you can to keep your job. That, and wouldn't most work computers have some sort of keylog or tracking devices on them to keep track of employees computer usage? They probably wouldn't even have to use myDDO to tell that you've been using your time unwisely.

Also, why would you need to hide the fact you play DDO to your wife or GF or what times you play? Either you have no cahones and your significant other has some severe control issues, or even you're embarrassed by how much you play and how little time you spend with her.

Like?

[Cedwin]

I'd like to quote George Carlin on this one.

Now, if you think you do have rights, in Wikipedia, search for 'Japanese-Americans 1942'. You will find out all about your precious ****ing rights.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights most, they were taken away. And rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, a bill of TEMPORARY privileges. And if you read the news, even badly, you will know the list gets shorter, and shorter and shorter.

Personally, when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: either we have unlimited rights or we have no rights at all.

*sigh* Its a hypothetical. Dont get bogged down in it. You just wasted like 4 paragraphs asking me all kinds of personal questions...

Sirea, why why do you need to hide the fact that you do "x" from your friends, your wife, your boss, the dog, or your next interview? Because obviously, its everyone's business to know when you are doing "x".

You were the one that posted in the first place with your panties in a twist.

If you feel the need to hide something, that implies that you think you're doing something wrong. Why would I need to hide the fact that I play a computer game from my family or friends? My cat could care less as long as her food bowl is full and I pet her or throw a toy for her every once in a while. I doubt I'd bring up the fact that I play DDO, much less my individual toon names with any boss I had, or how to check out said toons on myDDO so they can see if I was raiding when I should have been working. Not that I'd do something that irresponsible at work anyway. And who would ever say "If I work here I'm going to use company time to play computer games" in an interview?

You're over-reacting. I've been calm and civil throughout this thread.

"If you're innocent, there's no need to request a lawyer"

"If you done nothing wrong, then submit to the search, you shouldn't have anything to worry about"


Hey Sirea, can you post your medical records for us all to see? After all, you've got nothing to hide, right?

LOL, I shouldn't have to spell out how drastically different medical records and the fact that I play a silly computer game are

I don't even know why I entered into this debate, you've proven time and time again that you can't and won't listen to reason.

[Missing_Minds]

The rights you have regardless of whether or not they're written down on some document in DC.

You mean "Privileges", not "Rights". Learn the difference.

The only world (planet Earth) based "Rights" you have, as far as I can tell, is the right to breath air.

[Spookyaction]

If your boss wanted to know if you were playing ddo on company time wouldnt he have the it department find out ? I'm mean if you are worried just tell them its a shared account and someone in say Australia was using the account at the time.

[Fenrisulven6]

They are the same in that you claimed if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide. Now you claim other privacy issues are somehow "different". Backpedal.

What if we could all see your cell phones records, who you call and when? You've got nothing to hide, right Sirea?

you've proven time and time again that you can't and won't listen to reason.

You're missing the point - your logic is flawed and you wont listen to reason.

You've just argued that telling the police you want a lawyer means you're guilty of something...

You mean "Privileges", not "Rights". Learn the difference.The only world (planet Earth) based "Rights" you have, as far as I can tell, is the right to breath air.

Thats not what the Founders and SCOTUS say. You should get an education.

just tell them its a shared account and someone in say Australia was using the account at the time.

You mean lie to your boss/gf/wife? Why should you have to lie to protect your privacy?

[twix]

Maybe its just me but my girlfriend doesnt even know what myddo is let alone logging in to find my characters.Matter of fact she probably doesnt even know my character names.And we have been living with each other for five years.

Ddo is MY hobby. She is just not interested in it. Like im not interested in the stupid little facebook games she likes.
I understand where your coming from op but you obviously are setting yourself up .If your playin at wrok when your not supposed to of course there is a chance your boss will find out.With or without myddo.

If your girlfriend or wife has you locked in a closet and says no ddo and you break out to play you are only setting yourself up. Not to mention that if you playing ddo is that big of a deal you may want to consider taking a break anyways,but that is a whole nother thread.

Does your wife give you a set number of hours to play?Then she goes on myddo to check? If this is the case you either play way to much or your wife is a control freak who thinks she is your mother.


Dont Tell Me How To Live My Life !!!!!!!!!
Either way im sorry that you have people controlling your life to such an extent that they stalk you on myddo.
