hiding information; opponents name and rating + spectators of your game

That`s all nonsense in my opinion, because:
0) Log in anonymously - problem solved (don`t even read the rest).

1) After playing a few games against someone you get to know his strength anyway, so you don`t even need to know his rating. So, hiding ratings won`t have any use. This leads directly to number 2:
2) Most of the time I just don`t lose time looking at my opponent`s rating, or even my own, just try to do the same.
4) For that funny feature "go bersek" work properly we need to see our opponent`s rating in tournaments, and he needs to see ours.

Because of all this, I would leave it the way it is now.
BearJr, it's fine if you don't like it, that's why it would just be an option in the settings. Clearly there are plenty of people - including myself - who are anxious enough to not care about any of your (very reasonable) points...
Also regarding 0): I think I can speak for everybody when I say... we want to use the lichess features such as the analysis, etc. ... that's impossible when playing anonymous.
