About what you (BBO) keep in your achieves.

I find it really amazing that anyone can see who any other one has played with, whenever it was.
I thought the hands where only kept on the PCs which owners have ask for.
And I see I can have a look at when and with who my friends have played.

Is it privacy safe? I'm sure it is not!
I think this should be protected by the players'password.
Don't you agree?

are you talking about the hands you've played with and against others? why should they be privacy protected, they're public domain

We have chosen to allow full access to our hand records and tourney results. If you wish your records to be private, all you need to is create an anonymous id for use when you play cards.

I think if you choose to play on a site in the 'public' domain (as BBO is) you should expect that 'anybody'(a generic term) should be able to access hands that you have played

If you can't live with it - choose NOT to play on site

I suspect we may have a vote here for tournaments that bar kibitzers...

Only duplicate Hands are stored in myhands. So if you open or join a table that is labelled "Rubber" or anything other than IMP or MP, nobody not at the table will be able to see what you played.

if you make a fool out of yourself its out there for the whole world to see. Actually they are just nicknames but it allows you to go back and watch your own mistakes and also it allows you to see what certain opps do.

At one point I was toying with making a suggestion that in order to access the MyHands of another player you should be required to log in with password. Then a player could view a log of occasions when someone other than himself had viewed his database of hand records. A sort of "sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander". There is no reason why someone viewing another's hands records should be permitted to do so covertly any more than the hiding of the hand records should be permitted.

When I thought about it further I reckoned it rather pointless. It would just encourage players to set up duplicate IDs if they did not want their ID known as someone reviewing the hands of others, and reserve the second ID for browsing the myhands database. Of course the BBO management would have a bit more access to the snooper, by matching duplicate IP addresses etc, if they felt inclined, but it might put too much strain on the server filespace available (I wouldn't know about that). However if it were simply used as a count of number of times the hand has been accessed it might be better than nothing.

if you have bridgebrowser you can analyze hand even further

It really doesn't matter to me if anyone,friend or foe,
wants to waste time looking at boards I've played and
with whom

Since we play in a public place all we need is a protected
login,and we have that.
