This seems as good a place as any to just mention that us Euro citizens will soon fall under GDPR data protection.
Just checking you IFPA guys at least have this on your radar!? I’d suggest it probably impacts how you should treat suppressed players ‘behind the scenes’.
Getting into the technicalities, one way to handle it might be to securely hash the suppressed players name. That would anonymise the data, but still allow the player to be uniquely identified.
