Gary Stevenson wrote:Hey YoFans,

We know some of you are asking why player ID's are being displayed in forum names (the numbers in brackets beside your name). This is for a few reasons:

Your player name will change automatically on the forum if you change it in the game. In order to give context to posts, and to make sure there's some accountability with what is being posted, your player ID is a constant way to identify you.

We know in the past hackers were able to do things with this number, but this is no longer the case. Your account is perfectly secure as long as you never give out your Facebook login details.

You're still able to read posts without the number being visible to others should anyone still be concerned. Thanks!

Thanks

Can you further clarify this? I read this as, we shouldn't be able to see the ID numbers beside everyones avatar on the forum, but I see everyone's ID.

Thank you! It's nice to see the same names in game as here on forums. Much easier! And the ID can help get us to people's homes to visit more easily.

If you don't want your ID to be seen, just don't post. I think that is what he means.
