  1. I'm not sure if you're joking, but no lol. By joining the server, you are giving consent, as your client sends the server all your information (steam id, ip, machine information, etc). It's like walking into an airport and telling them they can't let you not take off just because you're on the terrorist watchlist, as you never gave consent to be added to the list. That would be the case if it wasn't a third party script that detects whether or not an account is using family sharing. Public info is public info, but using a script to find information from a client without the clients consent unfortunately does not fall under public information. Anything you have to use a script to uncover is not public. You can play on the server with a shared account, not an issue. When you're banned on your main account and you join on a shared account then you will be banned. It goes through the steam api. It does nothing checks to see if the account is shared. If it is shared, it gets the steamid of the parented account and bans it. No info is stored, it just goes. A lot of other addons do this and they have been running for a lot longer than this one I made. I guess I can add a "Privacy" page but I don't see how this is a big deal. Edit: I was gonna say what Blacnova said too but I couldn't find any "Legal Terms" that dealt with joining servers. The whole game uses your API and anyone can just grab your info. Upon looking up the twen steam api, I made a few discoveries. There are two catergories, public and private. Game ID falls under private, however, it only stays private if your profile is set to private. So that checks out. This requires further testing.
  2. Get rid of the family sharing bans as it violates steams privacy policy. (Third parties need consent to access a client's steam info) (steam id's and ips are not are part of it. You can access that)
