Estimated play time votes are now publicly attributed to you:

When we first launched the new estimated play time feature, each player's votes for a time were private and anonymous. But we have improvements planned that won't work well with anonymity, so we've decided to change our approach and to publicly attribute time votes to the player who posts them, just like reviews and ratings.

Here's how the transition will work.
  • All 373 existing time votes are temporarily marked "Anonymous."
  • All new time votes will link to the user who posted them, like this: "8h30m — Dan Fabulich"
  • We've emailed all 34 users who have submitted time votes, asking their permission to link their votes to their user name. (The email includes a list of your existing time votes.) Check your spam folder or email us at [email protected] if you haven't gotten an email from us but you think you should have gotten one.
  • If you decide that you're not comfortable linking your time votes to your user name, we'll delete your time votes from IFDB. (You'll still have your private copy in email, so you can always repost them at any time, but, if you do, the time votes will be publicly attributable to you.)
  • After 30 days, on or around December 19, we'll delete any time votes from users who haven't granted us permission to link them publicly.
  • After December 19, all existing time votes will be publicly attributed to the user who posted them.
