Caffeine, I see the point you're trying to make with the privacy thing, I really do. This is truely something that has to brought up to with Even Balance, not SID/FS. If you're looking for support behind this idea from Urban Terror server admins, then fine.
You might want to start talking to server admins from the rest of the 17+ other games with countless mods that EB supports as well as numerous sites dedicated to anti-cheating behaviour that utilize PB before going in single handedly against EB & requesting changes to their setup.

Personally, I support the current setup. Unfortunately due to the dipsticks in the gaming community, such things are needed by server admins, league admins & players in order to atleast try to combat such dipshits & their tactics.
Why you wonder? Well for 1 example, since tracking sites like rundmc track GUIDs, it's easy to find out who that 'dipstick' really is that's in your server causing trouble. On sites like guiddb.org (when it's working properly), you can find out if someone has been previously caught using cheats (known by PB) before you recruit them into your clan (not finding out until after you've recruited them and then they get kicked by a global PB ban during a match truely sucks) or who that 'aliased' person was that got kicked from your server by PB.

The reason I'm discussing it here is that I wanted to gauge people's reactions and maybe gain some new perspective. I don't think I'll get what I want here, though.

Erm, You ARE getting what you wanted. You are getting our reactions on such a topic.
Good luck with finding support with your ideas in other PB enabled games, "you'll need it".

PS. Threatening people on a personal level won't get you anywheres either , so you might want to change you're approach to people if you wish to gain support when trying to change things in communities you have no control over.

You're joking, right?[/quote]
uh, nope. Frankly, I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Info could be garnered before PB came out, it's not like someone opened this giant security hole in your system with the advent of PB and its installation on your rig.

after all mr caffenine definitely accepted EB's EULA, which means he was fine with it at that time....

Now at least I won't be globally tracked by parties other than ID. As it is' date=' if you play on PB servers, you may be tracked by ID (strictauth), Even Balance (PB), server admins, and private or public PB GUID databases (public ones being GuidDB.org and runDMC.se/guids/). The kind of data being collected is: PB GUIDs, IP addresses, aliases used, and time data for how long you run Q3 and play on server x.

Remove the pb folder if you feel uncomfortable with giving out your GUID.

You don't want me in politics for the same reason you do, I kill every single "politician". I hate them, I really do.
