  1. Privacy compromised by having real name show in reviews


    How do I delete a review for an app in Microsoft Store? I am happy with the review, but did not realise my real name would be shown. This hugely compromises security and without changing my actual main account name, I cannot find a way of making a display name for such purposes. Ironic that I'm told not to use personal info on this forum, but Microsoft openly uses it in reviews!!

    :)

  2. Is My Privacy Being Compromised?

    Your privacy is not being compromised. By the way -- your clothes dryer jammed and you need to go to take a look a it. Be careful as you head up the stairs because you dog peed on the 3rd step. *Nerd

    The moment you stepped online you forfeit privacy, pretty much. Or come to think of it, when you're born.

  4. Privacy compromised by having real name show in reviews

    Game review left on Microsoft Store that I didn't write.

    Went to play Sea of Thieves, and noticed that next to the stars it said 'Update your review'. I never wrote one, so I clicked it, and sure enough there's a rating and a full review written out, posted in my name. The obvious first step was making sure
    I hadn't been compromised, so I changed my password and checked my device history. All clear. It doesn't appear that my account was compromised at all-- and even if it was, why would someone just write a review for a game and that's it? Could this be some
    weird bug with someone that shares my same real life name?
