MultiMC
Censoring personal information in logs
Role
mostly for people looking for help with crashes
Suggestion
the upload function should censor the windows username
Benefit
people wouldn't accidentally share their name when posting the log
This suggestion is unique

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.
i would probably make censoring the username a toggleable setting that is turned on by default maybe it should censor the entire directory where multimc is? not sure, a lot of people have their windows username as their real name, so specifically censoring it would make sense i have no clue how do other OS's work in that regard i don't think you should censor it in the logs directly, but it's definitely also an option
I feel like this could be done when sending your log to someone which means switching to a log service like mclo.gs which hides sensitive information like ip addresses.
^ yeah it would be another solution i have no clue how difficult would it be to implement though (it does censor the windows username)
