[Poll] Discord Player Tracking

[darkwind]

Reading through different voted ways to go... and at the same time considering usage cases like
1) Player names have importance for player to allow communications, to know with whom they can communicate
2) Player names have importance to see when their friends are online
3) At the same time player positions have importance to know where they are for finding interactivity

I think potentially a good path can be
1) darkbot player tracking i guess getting removed
2) forum online page to list player amount, which player names online, and which player system/regions are present separately. To list two lists of players
- So u will know when your friends online, just not where
- So you will know there is activity in specific system (seeing anonymous positions of player system/regions), just not who exactly
3) in a future adding heat based online map that shows presence of players anonymously in which system they are, just no who it is exactly

this approach is potentially the most soft one to improve things, without disrupting anything else while working towards preventing offline specific player tracking/targeting/shadow logging and etc
You will still be able to find activity by flying towards where player activity
You will still know your friends are online

There will be just no ability to target anyone explicitly, where specific person is, not knowing which kind of faction players are where unless login into game (And that part is potentially changable too if Aingar is willing)

P.S. potentially can be considered player names removal from web site visibility completely. a subject to ponder about. but as first step for improvement just keeping those two informations (names and positions) separately will work i think without causing any harm towards smth we should not have harmed.
We should not do radical decisions without a lot of... consideration, yet there is clearly a thing to improvement and separating player names from their positions for web site visibility looks like a good step forward that has no drawbacks i can predict
