I have a question. Why private information is shared with the public?
For example:
On the WOOTABASE I can see the Discord account of users.
#Private information sharing with public

you mean the WOOTABASE where people decide to actively publish their configs?

"Why is the service I signed up for doing what I signed up for?"

If that is so, then fine.
I still curious, why that is needed? What benefit of that?

so you have some account it is tied to?

After I discover that will be shared I am not willing to tie my account to that.

Maybe a option to do it anonymous might be noce

Yes, publish configs, not Discord accounts. If that is part of the deal then fine. Also if a person was informed.
For me would be interesting to test configs of PRO players, but that can be a BIG stop for them to share that.

while i personally dont understand how this is a problem (as any forum, reddit, youtube, modding website, steam, discord and whatnot post is tied to an account) and theres no real downside to this you might be able to ask the maintainer of wootabase to give an anonymous posting option
also a quick check seems you can submit profiles and just enter a bunch of _ as the discord name (which isnt valid in discord i think)

Is there an option to attach a Discord account and make that invisible for another? Like I want to attach my account but I don't want to share that with the public.

It’s easy to deny and say that you are not responsible for this. It would work, if everyone knew it, but while your name "WOOTING name" is there, it’s your reputation, and I think reputation is important. I am not saying that YOU @copper quest have to check that, I am just saying that privacy is important and that can damage a company's reputation.
If allowing that publicing from your "WOOTING" name and with their cooperation that means the company agrees with that or did not pay enough attention to that part. What is fine for such a big company, the most importantly how that will be handled/fixed in future?
@strong violet FYI

wasnt denying anything just informing of who actually runs the platform and that we only give them a subdomain pointing to it. Wootabase is not affiliated with us beyond the subdomain as far as I personally am aware. I tagged Ed so he actually is informed about this idea of posting profiles anonymously.

I do have a new major release I am working on, I can make an anonymous tick box in the new version, but it will still be tied to the account behind the scenes (so moderators can see who is being an ass)
I will add this to the list, as I am almost done with this version, it was a bit big compared to previous wootabase releases (hence the delay)

It is not affiliated with Wooting in anyway, it is a personal project by me and not funded or supported by Wooting

Looks like you are using subdomain name of them. That is creating relation.

Moderators and Admins are different story. They, I hope have signed for company non-disclosure agreement.

It's voluntary and not moderated by wooting, so no disclosure agreement
There is no information saved apart from the discord name, which is public anyway. Same as a steam account, you can set it to private, but can be searched and seen

The domain I will look into just buying a domain, to solve any confusion, we did it this way for better SEO and searching

Thank you, you are the best. Patience and the way how you explained is great.
I wish you the best and a huge DB with configuration profiles. 🥰 I hope to find there pro player profiles to.

@forest tundra I'll keep this thread followed, so any questions, fire away

The above says it. We have grown quite a bit so it changes liabilities, but we like was Ed made, and wanted to give better visibility for it

I for one don't like this.
As you say if a profile is shared publicly, you need to be able to poke whoever makes it, in case it breaks or is out of date.
It's a Discord username, not personal information.
If you're not willing to put your name on a profile, it shouldn't be shared publicly.
It's not like it prevents you from sharing a profile code manually to whomever.
