Suggestion: Only YOU can update your trophies!

In fairness, OCD can exist in more mild forms than the example you've dealt with.  Measuring it simply in 'how many years it prevents someone from leaving their house' is also doing the disorder a disservice.

 

Though I agree the phrase gets tossed around carelessly.

To have OCD, like most mental illnesses, it has to affect your quality of life. The treatment for OCD helps people overcome their need to be compulsive because it's not possible to change the world to fit their needs. 

 

From the Mayo clinic: "There's a difference between being a perfectionist — someone who requires flawless results or performance, for example — and having OCD. OCD thoughts aren't simply excessive worries about real problems in your life or liking to have things clean or arranged in a specific way." 

 

Changing this isn't going to cure OP from OCD and changes like this aren't usually reasonable accessibility recommendations. If OP has a more compelling case of the utility of their suggestion, then we could have a decent discussion on it. 

 

OP can use opt-in trophy sites that allow only the account holder to update their account, I mentioned one in my first post, if this is truly affecting their life. This site has a specific scope that anyone can update accounts because we are primarily a leaderboards site. Leaderboards are competitive and wanting to check the competition's progress is natural. Even though their request sounds easy, it fundamentally changes how this site would operate.

FUTURE NOTE TO OTHERS

Never use OCD in your post when all you really mean is you have a routine you like to follow and you get a bit annoyed when it's broken, otherwise all the above, again.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing, because I can't tell?  There are many degrees of what is qualified as effecting your quality of life.  I believe the compulsions technically need to be more than one hour a day impacted by it to be considered OCD... but compulsive behavior that requires two hours a day and only really effects you is more mild than someone who hasn't left their house for years and effects their families and friends as well.

 

The OP is clearly using the phrase incorrectly.  And I honestly couldn't care less  ... but I'm just saying if you're going to acknowledge the incorrect use of it and try to educate people, it should be done tactfully rather than jumping to extremes.  Otherwise you aren't really giving the disorder any more careful attention than the person you're criticizing.

To go back on track on the original topic of this thread, I don't think that only you should upload your own trophies.

Like many mention before, your PSN profile is public information that you agree to share.

 

Having it updated automatically or by someone else makes it much more convenient. When I go back and play a game on my PS3 or my Vita, it's a little bit annoying to go and sync your trophies on the system, when you want to check your stats.

 

I like how it's currently done on the PS4.

As soon as you unlock a trophy, you can update your profile on PSNP without having to sync your trophies on the console (or wait for a scheduled update).

I do think maybe it should be a toggle option on a profile, where you can choose "Allow other people to update my profile" or not. I'm not sure if this would be feasible, but maybe also have something that detects people on your PSN friends list who use PSNProfiles, then you can set your trophy list privacy on this website to be "friends only" if your PSN friend is signed up to this website. Either way, by default the option to be the only person to update your profile shouldn't be checked until the person decides they want to do that. Sure, some people would forget to update their profile after checking the option or simply decide to never update it, but you aren't going to lose a lot of people from that and this website is never going to track every single PSN account in existence so the stats will never be 100% accurate on the leaderboard.

 

Of course, the other option if you're upset about this "specific time" being broken would be to get yourself a premium membership. You can also just pretend to be a female on this website long enough for some guy to buy you a premium membership but to get someone to budge, you need to make your profile picture into a semi-nude anime girl and act like you love anime, if you already really do then you're one step of the way there. After being an anime loving female, just comment on everyone's status updates with generic shit like "well done " if they post about a platinum, or "Omg that's so funny " if they post something that is supposed to be funny. In the end, one of the guys who thinks you're a cute anime loving female will budge and get you premium, or you can pay the $12.99 once and skip the female anime girl grind.

LMAO, speaking from personal experience?

I bought my own premium back when it was $9.99 but I see a lot of "Female" members thanking people for their premium when someone gets it for them anonymously, so maybe those tips really do work
