    SteamRep Is operating outside the bounds of the law. AKA. SteamRep is breaking the law.

    SteamRep data mines and uses tricky (scummy) techniques to track users...we arent just talking about logging in and signing up to the site...SteamRep forces users to interact with the site to access information (whether or not a user is banned from the site) Admins know exactly what I am talking about. Dont let them bullshit you with the typical, "we collect information the same way every other website does." Other websites would get the s✿✿✿ sued out of them if they were as intrusive as SteamRep. The Privacy Enforcement and Protection clause in California states empowers Californians with information on their rights and what is being tracked.

    "If you operate a commercial website that collects personal information on California Residents:
    -Say what you do: Post a statement of your privacy policy in a conspicuous location on your Web site.
    - Do what you say: Comply with the terms of your privacy policy. In your privacy statement, identify the categories of personal information that you collect through the Web site on people who use or visit your site.
    -In your privacy statement, describe any process you maintain that allows someone to review or ask for changes to any of his or her personal information collected through the Web site.
    -In your privacy statement, describe the process you use to notify those who use or visit your site of changes to your privacy policy.
    -In your privacy statement, identify the effective date of the policy. California Business & Professions Code sections 22575-22579: Online privacy protection act.

    There are many templates out there that will allow you to easily create a private policy. Stop delaying it and pushing it aside. The fact that you are delaying it so long greatly implys that you guys have something to hide from the community you are claiming to "protect and assist" You must have a private policy at this point. You guys want to be transparent? Well here is your opportunity to become perfectly transparent.
