Since we haven't had any other requests for this, I believe you would be the only consumer of this feature. Or at least; a member of a minority.

Unless you setup a high level firewall that snoops your http traffic (Or happen to already run such a thing), you'll need to block port 80 and 443 to (*.)faforever.com.

well, not sure if this is tech support related, but about the auto submission of information :

when you play a game, some data transfered bewtween you and the other player is stored in a form of a replay file
when you play a game, and you have direct connection, your ip is transmitted to the other player , and its on his log
when you open the client, and get into the irc chat, all channel moderators know your ip
so, if you do not agree with the submission of information, well, I think you should stop playing this game

This does not solve the issue of consent.

Its lucky that I am a programmer and can read the code, but people without the knowledge will not be able to.

Please add an opt out option.

How can I opt out of this?

There is no way to see what information this submits, not can I opt out.

I have not been informed, not have I given my consent, therefore I have to assume that the information collected also includes information about my system.

Therefore it violates European Data Protection laws, and is then ulawful to collect the data.
