Hide friends list from profile?

[Noodlesocks]

I would like ot keep my profile open to public but I don't like how everyone can see the list of my friends and family. I've already had an e-stalker hassle some of them in the past which led me to making the entire profile private in the first place

why not

[neverending]

I'd bet someone would program a ♥♥♥ to trawl all steam profiles to find friends of the user who is hiding their friends list. Still might be a simple enough thing to do anyway.

Someone could, but that would be a "you can do that but we won't help you with it" thing.

Well yah, I mean it'd be someone trying to circument privacy options. I'd could even see valve blocking ♥♥♥ IP who do it, tho maybe not, considering this topic is several years old and no sign it'll get implemented

If the friend is concerned about their privacy, they would have their profile set as private or "don't show friends" either, so it will not work with them.
Also as already mentioned in the thread, it can be solved by making it so that your username is not shown on your friends' public friendlist, either.

And yes, an option to not show the friendlist would be an extremely useful thing to implement.

Ah, you're right, that should fix that.

I dont support this

It sounds like an option for people that have something to hide.
Like he dont want his girlfriend to see that other chick on the list.
If it is a public profile, then the friend list is public.
And the option is allready there, The option that allow a player to make a profile private.

I think it is perfect the way it is now.
I would be offended if they make it possible, because there is what you see on a profile.
With an option like that, then you can't trust the information on a profile page.
An i rather look at the hole pack, not just a part of it.

It is not possible to ask for a privacy option to a public profile in my eyes.
But sometimes i can't see the wood because of all the trees.

Everyone has something to hide and often it's appropriate. It's called privacy!

Well i dont, so it can't be everyone.
If a player has that kind of needs, he can make his profile private like you did.
Public is public.


I dont have a trust issue, i just understand the term PUBLIC

i prefer to keep my profile private. the problem is sometimes a steam group or an online service requires me to display a public profile. they either need proof on my profile that i have a certain number of games to be in their group.. or the online service needs to access my game library to make sure i don't already have the game before sending me a complimentary key.

they only need to know specific information. they don't need access to my entire profile.

there's also social hacking
might be a low chance of it ever happening to me. but what's wrong with being safe?

i live in a neighborhood that is very clean and safe and little to no crime.. with gate and guard
does that mean i should keep the doors to my house and cars unlocked?

and about having nothing/something to hide. maybe i don't have anything to hide, but i should have the freedom to choose when and where and to whom i devulge any of my personal information and connections to

From a game trolling perspective, I know it's a ton easier for game server administrators/ owners to know if a group is friends on steam. I get why you may want the option, but it's not too big of a deal to need this imo.
