Hide teams from user profile

Because of the stay at home policy enacted in many countries, several OTB clubs are creating teams on lichess. It may be way too easy to find someone's identity by looking at the clubs in their profile. Is there an option to hide the teams of a user from someone's profile?

Why that? Do you have anything to hide, lol?

There are people who care about their privacy. I don't need such a feature, but people are in very different life situations and may really need it. People threatened by their ex-partners, children being harassed, etc. Does it answer your question?

If someone is harassing you on a chess website, wouldn't you just block them or ignore it? Children should be in kids' mode, anyway. And you can just make up a pseudonym. It's just good basic privacy practice to use fake names everywhere on the internet, what with all the kooks out there!

And what does have hiding your team to do with your privacy? You already have the option to write in your real name in your edit profile settings. Or you don't write your real name in there! It's your choice! Or you can use a
pseudonym.

By not hiding the name of the teams (real life clubs as mentioned by myle) you are disclosing relatively accurately your place of living. By looking up where and when a real life clubs meets, you can stalk a player, if you wish. So, yes, the knowledge of which real life clubs you attend, has something to do with your privacy.

While you have the choice to protect your name (by not entering the real name), you don't have the option to protect the information which club and when you attend.

Again, such a feature is not something that I personally need, but I understand that someone else may make such a feature request, and I see no grounds for ridiculing that person.

I think it's also to protect against preparation of our openings.
