Censor sensitive information in screenshots

@Polygeekery said in Censor sensitive information in screenshots:
If you are worried about Mafia, could you obscure anything that you don't want unintentionally exposed and then reveal it on mouseover?
Show users with the generic names like goon1, goon2 and reveal the information on mouseover?
-
@wharrgarbl Meh, that is not as discoverable as just blurring the sensitive information.
-
@anotherusername as explained earlier, a background pattern invisible to the human eye.

It wouldn't help for the example @ben_lubar posted because, even with names/thread titles masked the existence of a screen-shot with redacted info would be enough to show that I wasn't just a vanilla mafia player (even if it didn't reveal what type of privilege I had or who else was involved).

@Polygeekery The problem is the screenshot in question (I didn't see it, only the 2.0 version that had been censored) was of the notifications PJH had received: he was watching some Mafia threads, and it mentioned who had posted a reply. If you can post in a scum thread, you're scum.

@Yamikuronue I have no idea how those games work, or why people play them. :-P

You should come play one! You would bring an interesting perspective.
Some of the shorter games (Self-Serve Mafia) could offer a quick, basic demo of how it works, if you're curious.

@Polygeekery You're essentially trying to guess who the scum are. So if you know, the game's over.

Is it he-who-is-never-sober?

Hey! He's sober sometimes, and even helpful! (It just happens to not be when most of the site traffic occurs.)

Never tried on the forum, but I played lots of these games in reality.
(Most often this one but I can't find an english version)I find it enjoyable that this guessing is in the form of a public debate and voting, by people who pretend to be united yet have different interests.
The fun is in the methods of lying and arguing, not in the goal itself.
And also its a great way to interact with people.

And then the murders begin.

How well does the tile recognition algorithm work when the image is malformed? For example, due to horrible JPEG compression, or because someone highlighted particular areas of the screenshot.

@CreatedToDislikeThis said in Censor sensitive information in screenshots:
That's where it should be - the idea is prevent the user from making easy-to-make mistakes.
In coding, that's fine and I'm all for it.
On the forum, prevent the user from making easy-to-make mistakes . And no one wants that!

@ben_lubar, I'd like to point out (having posted there recently, necroing @antiquarian's thread — your welcome!) that the Quixotic Ideas thread is .

@ben_lubar did you use the stenography thing?
stenography is when someone has a typewriter around their neck in a court room.

Neat, but how does it work? How can it tell?
Short answer: Magic!
Long answer: https://github.com/boomzillawtf/tdwtf/blob/master/plugins/nodebb-plugin-tdwtf-customizations/steganography.js

As long as there are 7 pixels in a row that have the correct 2 low bits in each color channel, it knows. So with JPEGs, probably not, but who would go to all the trouble of saving a screenshot as a JPEG instead of just uploading it by pasting it in if they weren't intentionally revealing the information?

I'm fine with making fun of people making mistakes, but it's not as fun when it negates an entire game that takes months to set up.

@ben_lubar why not just add
0
s at the end ofbits
and eliminate the payload length check?

Whereas steganography is when a dinosaur uses a typewriter?
