    Good luck finding someone's MMO-C profile.

    Well, you might be searching via e-mail address, in theory that'd be possible.

    Ofcourse I wouldn't, I'm a gamer and that has a negative connotation to most non-gamers straight up. I lost a job opportunity at second stage interview (for apprenticeship minimum wage) because I fell back on a game explanation to a question (asked for feedback, stated it was because they felt the example cited wasn't applicable i.e. shit).

    I tell you that I enjoy playing football and going swimming with friends. My gamer life is never going to clash with you so why need I mention it.

    @endus I was under the knowledge that you could not access such clips without reason - security measures for security means n all.

    Ehhhh, might be easier than you'd think if they posted something personal in the Fun Stuff forums.

    It doesn't say they won't either. It's purposely ambiguous for a reason. They do however say they will share information with affiliates and for "internal services."

    You're planning on filling an injunction, take it up with Facebook, not our company.

    We don't really care. People seem to be blowing this well out of the water in a lot of the cases, we're not intersted in your flirting with another women, we just want to know about things that impact our company. If we don't find an account, we don't care at all. With LinkedIn, we tend to feel better about people with profiles there, as it is a business orientated site.

    I've got one, don't I? My company monitors my account, and I wouldn't be surprised if in a few hours I get a phone call asking me about this thread. They know all my profiles, such as my World of Warcraft profiles and much more. I enacted the policy, so I like to lead by example, although we don't ask for the same from all members of our staff of course.

    I prefer to interview gamers. I like talking to them about the genre of games they like to play, what games they're looking forward to. A lot of them get very confused when someone in a suit starts talking about Mogu'shan Vaults Heroic progression tips.

    You'd have to first isolate a person's email addresses, which barring spyware would prove difficult. Next you'd have to go to their providers to request information. If you happen to have any MMO-C emails, it could give it away otherwise probably not.

    Of course, this also would have to assume your email provider has your name and address.

    Real names are being thrown out down there? I'm more scared than I was before.

    Googling my name comes up with exactly nothing about me.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I don't recall exactly how we obtain the information, or how they allow the access to this information, but as an example, this information is readily available to Google (As an example company). If you start posting things on Google, that information is processed by Google with their systems, and then you'll have adverts targeted to you based on what you said on Facebook.

    It is in its early stages, but it is live in some parts of the world.

    Ofcourse they would :P. After 2 bad experiences (/2) I'd personally only consider mentioning gaming interests to an interviewer if I felt like suiciding my placement for some unknowable reason.

    I think we all know google are our overlords and while may not be particularly happy with it.. who thinks they could take on google?

    We don't abuse this service. When we request information, we have to verify why we're after it, and it has to be confirmed by myself. If someone in our company started to request information for any reason that I don't approve, I could not only lose my job, but Facebook could sue me for misuse of their services.

    Mine comes up with some college kid in Michigan. Apparently he's somewhat decent at the baseball.

    Haha. Most places see gaming as a negative thing, and in many cases it is because people choose to play games over improving themselves, like educating themselves, working out or doing something more productive, but I enjoy playing games as part of my relaxation, after i've finished all my work and done my exercises.

    However, I don't recommend every brining it up. It really isn't a good thing for many companies, but don't feel ashamed of it. I'm prepared to bet you the person interviewing you has played Farmville a few times!

    Sorry, we don't hire kids who are somewhat decent at Baseball, only those who are exceptional. You're not hired Rukentuts!

    That's why I included the "you left a bad tip" piece; the footage is the property of the restaurant owner, and he can do pretty much anything he wants with it. He can't sell it as a commercial product (who would want to buy "Restaurant Security Footage 5" anyway?), but that's because of specific laws about the use of someone's image without their consent in a commercial product, the same reason you see people with fuzzed out faces in some things. They're free to show it to anyone they want to, though, or use it for non-commercial uses.

    You're confusing the fact that the police need a warrant to force the restaurant owner to cough up the tape with the idea that there's any protection of privacy for the people on it. There isn't. The only reason the cops need a warrant is because the tape is the restaurant owner's physical property. He could freely offer it to the cops if he wanted to, or to anyone else, including your boss.

    My current boss doesn't really play games. My head of department before I replaced him knew I played WoW and tried his own panda.

    @Endus fair enough. Still seems a little ridiculous for a random person to request a restaurant footage of someone they expected to be in the restaurant between X and Y in booth Z under the request of wanting to see a possible applicant...

    Wow my FB page can't even be found with my full name. But apparently Hyve's illegal company can get my full profile in 4 hours.

    Goddammit. I was really looking forward to moving to the UK and doing whatever it is you do; until you snare that photo of me of the swan in the fountain...

    my fiance works for a cell phone company, as an employe of the company you get free service. BUT if you ever get investigated for any number of things; stealing, blackmailing, threatening other employes they can pull up everything you do on your phone and use it against you for firing you or legal action. Also posting negatively about the company or its policies on any public medium is grounds for immediate termination
