Privacy mode

[swaree]

For larger and more public servers, commands like all or role may be disruptive for privacy-concerned members. I suggest either coding a privacy mode that omits user-specific information or the ability to selectively white- and blacklist commands. Thanks for your work.

I'm not sure I understand — what would stop anyone who wants to invade that user's privacy from just using t!time on that user? It seems like if someone doesn't want their timezone to be known, they can just not add it to the bot. You could also consider just blocking the bot from the biggest channels on the server so that the information can't appear there...?

Well, what if we were able to blacklist time too? User timezones settings aren't global and can't be retrieved from another server/direct message, as far as I'm aware.

This seems to go against the idea of what the bot does, which is track timezones for users in a server. I'm still of the opinion that if someone has privacy concerns and doesn't want their timezone to be tracked, they should simply not add their timezone to the bot, rather than making very specific controls to make sure that their timezone is only visible to certain people in certain places.
