Private accounts (and/or private Reviews, Diary Entries and Ratings)
I'd like the option if keeping my account private, like how Twitter handles private accounts.

I would pay for the ability to write private reviews!

Please can you give us an update? It would be great to know either way whether this feature will be brought in or not and what the timescale is likely to be.
I would like the option to choose whether my reviews are publicly visible or not. I would like to be able to make some notes and then come back later to do a proper review.
I would definitely use your site more if privacy features were brought in. -

Please do this! I love the site, but all notes being public are a dealbreaker for me. Renders the site kinda useless for my use =(

I would love to have the option to make some of my reviews private because they were written when I was an inexperienced writer but I want to have everything I have written in one place.

I would love to be able to make my reviews and ratings private. It would be great to be able to write my reviews as diary entries just for me. Also, I'm not totally thrilled that everyone can see my ratings, but I definitely want to still rate movies for my own purposes despite that.

I am disappointed that this has gone from ‘planned’ to ‘under review’.

I landed in this forum when I realized this feature did not even exist in the product.
This is a showstopper for me and it is disappointing to see that zero progress was made over the last 7 years. This was confirmed as PLANNED 5 years ago!

When is private account going to be an option? Or I will stop using letterboxd. You said you we were working on this in 2013 and 2015.

Please add this. I'd like to write little notes about the films I've watched, but only for myself. It's named "diary" after all, so you should have the option to make it private.

Please add this. I want to add my thoughts to a diary entry without randoms stumbling upon my profile/review.

What's primarily needed is the option to take notes, or at least write private reviews. Sometimes I want to gather my thoughts and do a write up, but never do so cause I can't be bothered for other people to see it.

This is needed.

The lack of private ratings is holding back a ton of film/tv industry folk from joining Letterboxd. Public ratings is a huge issue for them because all their colleagues and friends would be able to see their ratings, including negative ones.
Imagine the awkward moment they stumble upon the film they worked on only to see that their friend gave it a low rating or negative review on their account. Sure, making the account anonymous is an option that currently exists, but that diminishes a core social component of Letterboxd that makes it so fun to use -- the community!
Private ratings would be the best of both worlds. Ideally, it should function like when you make a post on Facebook, where you can customize the privacy settings of each rating or review to "Public" for everyone to see, "Private" so only friends/followers can see it, or "Only Me" so that the rating/review is just for yourself to view, but everyone else can see that you've logged the movie as watched. Implement this feature asap please! Even if this became a "Pro" feature only, I'd pay for it!

The most important feature of all time, a lot of my friends want to join LB but the lack of private accounts is stopping them.
Privacy is priceless guys.
