Norcal, a guide responded within 30 minutes of your very first post.
Several people have explained why every game out there has to log / monitor chat. As I mentioned, even in games like Battlefield 3 that do not have 1 centralized server, every single sponsored server logs and monitors chats. There is nothing unusual about this.
Perhaps part of the reason you are not seeing the outrage you might have expected is because what you guys are saying is rather vague and hard to pin down. For example, I've re-read your original post. It talks about "discovering" things you may not want to share with the world.
This is completely different than what DDT brought up, which turned out to be hypotheticals that never even happened. No offense meant, not looking for an argument, just calling it as I see it.
Before I took my last break, you were in another tribe somewhere to the East. I came by and checked out your place, which was quite an architectural feat in progress. You've clearly enjoyed the game very much in the past, even enough to make a great beginner tutorial / guide. I'm not sure what's happened since then, but I hope you'll distance yourself from whatever is causing you these headaches and get back to enjoying the game. It would be a shame to lose you and for you to lose your enthusiasm just when the going will be getting good. Get back to the happy side of gooey.
