Hide "Hours played" (and other info) to my colleagues

I spend some personal time on Roll20, but recently I wanted to master a game for my colleagues at work (you know, team-building stuff while tele-communting..) What stopped me was that I didn't want them to view my "Hours played" as well as I am a "pro subscriber". Don't ask me why, this is some personal data I don't want to share with everyone. Keep professional/personal spheres separated. Please don't tell me "you should be proud of your 1400+ hours played... even with John the new guy, and Samantha your boss" In short : I'd like to hide to others (or at least my colleagues) [Edited after Andreas post]: hours played pro status other achievements GM of X number of games # of forum posts (it counts both public replies & private campaign forum replies) Joining Date ...
Badge display being a privacy setting - Public, friends only, or private - strikes me as a good addition.

I completely agree, it should be possible to manage better what you want to show on your profile, even if many of these might seem trivial to others. To your list I'd also include: GM of X number of games # of forum posts (it counts both public replies & private campaign forum replies) Joining Date On a related note, the " hours played" & "GM of X number of games" are only vaguely indicative numbers. People with many duplicate/test games like me have tons of "games", even if they haven't GMed more than a handful. Hosting your groups games as a player, working on stuff as a Sheet Author The " hours played" increases by a multiple if you have multiple games or instances open, and also happen if they are just open in the background. Sheet Authors, API authors, GMs to leave games open in the background might really quickly increase that number.

Well, I am struggling with that privacy concern :-/ I hope it will be on the roadmap soon or I'll need another tool for initiation sessions with my colleagues...
Create a new free level account. Create the game for your colleagues from your Pro account, then invite your new, free account to the game, and make them a co-GM. You can say you got a "gamer friend" to make the game for you.

Rabulias said: Create a new free level account. Create the game for your colleagues from your Pro account, then invite your new, free account to the game, and make them a co-GM. You can say you got a "gamer friend" to make the game for you. Divers you can even change the NAME & AVATAR of your Divers account, if you think they might recognize DIVERS. Could easily change it to somethin like "Roll20 Game Helper" or something that seems robot, automated, anonymous. In addition to Rabulias exact clever workaround suggestion.
Happy to help! Hopefully your co-workers won't see this forum! ;-)
