restricting a user's profile

[Frank Adelstein]

Hi,

I just got a request from a user who played in our league last year.

> Could you please tell me how to shut down or unsubscribe my profile?
> I do not want it to come up on google when people search my name.

Ignoring the fact that it'll take Google months to forget about it,
what can he or we do? Deleting the account might be one option, but
that won't help if he plays this summer. Is there some way to make
things less public, so it'll only show that information to logged on
users? That way anyone in the league could see who is, or was, on
other team, but it'd be less accessible to GoogleStalker(tm) and the like.

Any suggestions or options are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Frank,

I know that in the Roster Admin settings for  events, you can restrict visibility to only registered players (in that league).  That way, if someone clicks on the Google link to the roster, they'd only be able to see that so-and-so is on it, if they're logged into a player account that was registered in that event.  Of course, Google has probably cached the roster, but c'est la vie, non?

I do not know of a way to restrict visibility of a player page that lists all registered events & teams, but the only personal info displayed is name (which is what's being searched upon, so not a give-away in the proposed scenario).

Hope that helps!

We've provided some controls for sites to do things like hide rosters, but should provide players with more options themselves about hiding their event histories. That's pretty much all that comes up at the moment, but I can understand why even that might be something people don't want seen. Names on a roster page themselves are a trickier issue as it's tough to say who should have ultimate control over whether a player is listed as playing on a team (e.g. certain events/organizations may want to require other people to see you play on a team).
