Question

To prevent cyber stalking is there any plans to add an option to make ones stats private instead of public

Answer 1

You can already make your stats private if that's what you want, but I think "cyberstalking" is rare and it's unlikely that you would need the feature due to that. If you want to hide your stats, go ahead, but be honest about the motivation for it. https://project-gc.com/w/Profile_Stats_settings

I was disappointed in the tone of the answer.  Cyberstalking and cyber bulling is going on over Project GC top stats which has turned this into a competition.
Yes I did find out how to turn them off and I am testing that feature out now on both geocaching.com and Project GC.
With regards to my motivation it was to help out other cachers who have fallen victim to this.  These cachers come to me for help because they know I have been in IT for over 40 years and have cyber security training.  If this was not a problem then Project GC would not have made this an option to opt-out.

@Crazy4horses Tone of voice is hard in text and even harder when you're not writing in your first language. I did not intend anything offensive with my comment.

I do however think my assumption that this is not cyberstalking was pretty correct if your issue is that people have "turned this into a competition". Stalking is a serious crime that should be reported to the police and puts the person at risk of being murdered since that's a pretty common outcome of a stalking-case. Looking up somebody else's stats and using them as motivation for improving your own stats is not stalking, not even if you say "I saw you had X but I have more". It might be an asshole move depending on the circumstances, but it's not stalking.

These competitions that I am referring are not the health type you are referring to with two willing parties. They manifest themselves on Facebook as harassment and bullying using screen jobs from your websites for the purpose of degrading and shaming other geocachers over perceived cheating.  If one does not want to subject themselves to this then opting out is indeed an option for them.  Before you go there I do understand that your website cannot control what others do with that said this does impact your branding.

@Crazy4horses It's not my website and what you're describing is still not stalking.
