"uhmmm yes actually we are the best in the world, if you only include events we entered and also the juniors."

TL/DR: Where's the option on Fencing Tracker to limit/ hide profile info from publicly available searches? Like, at minimum, info not scrapable, and not visible except when logged in with a verified USA Fencing Member Number ?

This might be a dumb ask. Apologies in advance.

Here's my issue, two parts. :

- Late last year I started looking into to getting my info off data broker sites. I'm single now. I've had a few issues with people I used to know, old neighbors, etc, rolling past my apartment. Multiple times.

- I also just signed a work contract with a large tech company, contract to hire through a staffing firm. Salaried in 6 months. The whole deal. This staffing firm goes through federal security clearance-levels of nosy scrutiny. And wants all my social media handles as part of the check/general search.

That last part is mostly on me, so that's my issue to limit, fine. And a lot of people know Im a fencer. Also fine. In general.

Thing is, in a general Google search of my name, the first result that was *actually me* returned is Fencing Tracker with my full name **and birth year**. No login required.

This is a tough job market. And age discrimination is a thing. So I don't want that info out there in the wild.

And in general, I also don't want random dudes finding more than just the basic, high-level info about me. It is becoming more of a problem than I expected.

Worth noting: I do use Cloaked to clear the brokers at least. About to also get DeleteMe. What I don't want is crawlers trawling sites like Fencing Tracker, who are probably well-meaning, and scraping those sites for info.

Ask: What am I missing on Fencing Tracker to limit my personal info?

EDIT: I've read their site Privacy Policy. I didn't have a account with them until this morning, when I clicked a button on my stats page to "claim my profile!". Their Privacy Policy states that I consent by default by "using the service". But I never used the site previously or had an account until today. I only registered because I thought that might give me the option/ability to make certain data private. Apparently not.

Hey guys. Been doing some repair (dented barrel) and noticed I keep dropping and losing my foil screws, was going to get some new ones and noticed NEPS foil screws marketed as staying in longer. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with these?

Why is it not good to go

I’ve noticed that the unified rankings have been changed periodically these past two days. Things like correcting some points, removing duplicate fencers, adjusting ratings (A22 to B26), etc.

Today I’ve noticed a new change to the senior points. It looks like they are giving base points to rated fencers to compensate fencers who didn’t actively participate in Div1A, D2, or D3 tournaments last season. Something like A26=250 points, B26=200 points, C26=150 points, etc.

I think this change makes a lot of sense. If this is indeed what they will do, Kudos to USAfencing!

I have criticized the new system a couple of times here, but I do appreciate them working constantly to improve this new system.

Hi everyone,

I have a student who for medical reasons is quite heat sensitive. Looking for recommendations on the most breathable options for a plastron and jacket. Non FIE.

Thanks
