I need to stop being tracked

Hey there.

So I've got a group of people that like to follow me around TF2 servers, and this site allows them to follow me even if I set my profile to private.

Is there any way so that my profile wont be tracked? Thanks.

There is no feature to universally disable a player from being tracked on server pages, nor am I aware of a feature on any other tracker.

You may want to try changing your in-game name to something different, unless they are able to locate that as well.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

It's on Steam, even if you put your profile on private your name is always displayed. So there's literally no way to stop them?

So you're basically saying I'm completely screwed.

The best option I can give you would be to ignore then. A lot of trolls usually get a life at some point, so perhaps after a week or two they will give up.

The best thing you could do would be to contact Steam and ask about/request privacy options so that you could change your in-game name without them knowing. It's not like GT is the only tracking website, and for many games on this website there is no uniqueness to names so it wouldn't make sense to censor and go through extensive efforts to have people prove who they are.

"A week or two" this has gone on for 2 months. I'm a youtuber, so they wont exactly stop.
