Please note that Privacy Concerns have been raised about uploading replays. Especially good players may not want to do it so they are not targeted by opposition research... A Few solutions have been suggested: Privacy as in Personal Upload - ONLY accessible by the uploader. Privacy OPTION - an option to HIDE player names and REMOVE CHAT to avoid identification and any other info a replay may have of that nature... And Third NO REPLAY DOWNLOAD... So just in site analysis... Also some questions have been raised about the accuracy of the APM and EAPM system you are using. I think it would be great to think and talk about those potential issues and solutions in order to allow more people to join the Hivemind! FOR THE SWARM! FOR THE HIVE! | ||

Replay uploading is completely voluntarily. If you don't want to show a replay, don't upload it. What good comes from hiding everything (players, chats etc) from a replay? Not much. I understand the motivation, but having a replay where you don't know who played who and thus cannot be included in statistics isn't valuable. Also if replay is downloadable, there's no point hiding anything from the replay, as after downloading it you can extract everything from it. Public replays contribute to global stats and benefit everyone. I am willing to pay for the public good. Private replays benefit nobody but the replay owner. I do not wish to pay for the resources required for private replays. What questions have been raised regarding APM / EAPM accuracy? Please clarify and I answer / explain. Note that disabling replay download and hiding replay chat is possible, but I'm not sure if this is the right direction. | ||

Isn't there a way to extract the relevant information without giving DL access publicly or showing the player names? And I mean it as an option not automatic for all replays. Of course if it's too much trouble or it costs additionally there's little value in adding such features. I tried Brood War Dechat (Chat Remover) but it does not work for SCR replays sadly... Scratch the APM/EAPM comment. I now understand that different creators set the parameters differently. <3 | ||

With this the question arirses: if the replay analyzer is enabled in the web interface, that gives almost just as detailed information as if you'd download the replay. The only important difference is that you can't watch the game in StarCraft. | ||
