@k00b I thought that these SN account settings mean something
I really do not want to be mentioned in ANY stats.

Did you provide the SN database to be researched for these stats?
reply
No, Stacker News Monthly is produced using publicly available information on posts and comments, which includes the poster and the zap amount. "Hide me from top stackers" only controls what SN chooses to display, but it can't prevent other users from collecting public-facing information from the site and presenting it.
reply
ok. please do not mention me anymore in your stats.
reply
Ok, I won't include you in future editions
reply
Your posts and comments are still visible, as are the zaps on them. That's not the same thing as where you'd rank on top stackers.

I don't care. I do not want to be mentioned in ANY stats. And I think I read in SN T&C that is necessary my consent to be published.

You have to ask nicely then or stop posting under your nym.

stop posting under your nym.
I'd rather not posting at all than using an alt.
