Make your name and zone invisible in status page

Add a feature where you can toggle your account to be listed semi-anonymously on the status page's player list. Maybe this can be added in Account manager.

The point of this website feature is to mitigate spam and add some privacy for those who want it.

Sometimes when I played here I would get some spammy private messages from people I've never heard of or seen before, and it would get in my e-mail inbox as notifications, mostly from Stanleyei who's probably banned by now.

What this invisibility feature would do, if toggled on, is display your name as Anonymous, not link to your armory, and display your zone as N/A.

Still can't see why it would be benefital.
Are you even aware that other players can't see Your list? Zone is not displayed in the Armory.

The who list in game can still be used when you're online and unlike the webpage, that one is not delayed. Then your character name can easily be used to find you in the armory.

Also there is no way for others to know which characters are linked to which forum account unless you tell them. Spam should be reported, as far as I am aware there hasn't been any through private messages lately.
