It's not about sacrificing his profile, he didn't even understand the complications, the amount of flame on this thread wasn't planned... You can't be giving praise to catching 3 cheaters at the cost of doing something illegal even if it wasn't his intention. People are sweet talking for the sake of being nice or just ill-educated.
I just don't find it right in me, to public shame Mynes who took a risk for a cause bigger than any of you (himself included) to offer solution of some sort, broke the law in process. He won't be regulated, though - because he cannot do anything with your data. I don't think you know what you are talking about when you refer to your personal data, anyway.
What personal data, anyway? Even the passwords you use to enter in websites have fancy little stars on them. Your email is literally filling up with entry attempts to your youtube, twitter, facebook accounts daily...from china, US and what-not. You literally live in a world of notifications and since you are not playing with millions of dollars, noone really cares about your little bank accounts. I don't think robbers of that sort will not take a lifetime of prison for a funny a few thousands, not a good trade. Chances of Mynes doing anything with your personal data is as close to a man breaking your home tonight. Banks have their own insurance policies at-place, just for incidents like this.
Looking at a bigger picture here. This is as innocent as MOSS, 2012-tournament admins going from teamspeak to teamspeak and checking game logs to catch cheating activities. This is like a small epoch for warband, a moment of honesty.
Many of the great epochs also broke the law at their times. How can you change something without breaking it, anyway? It is just about you have the balls to do something about it. And those who join the bandwagon over their personal datas only care about themselves rightfully, selfishly.
Only real damage here has been given to the matchmaking here. And, many discussions will be held in future for this incident today.
And - If you are looking for someone to blame, it is the cheaters that forced people like Mynes to take such extreme actions or you, who really did nothing about it all this time.
I only wish you don't blame Mynes who wanted to do something about it. However - If you find it right in you, to public shame someone who took action over an issue that you also were perfectly capable to do something about but chose not do anything, and then still shame the guy afterwards anyway. If that ticks with you, then it is not people like you the world needs and I will cheer on the next real effort, even if that compromises you or me.
**** it, really. Keep shining, Mynes. Keep doing the right thing, I trust in you friendo.
I will kill you if you try to rob me thou
