I don't like the idea that when you double click someone, the farm name displays. Which shows for every other character you play on. I want to delete it but I know it's not likely that it will ever be removed. So, can we have an option to have our farm set to "Hidden" so your entire account won't get exposed to other people?

    No. This should not be changed at all. It is fine as is and is a useful way of identifying people. What will be exposed if your farm name is shown? Do you have something to hide? There's already the cancerous appear offline function which is pretty much only used by hackers and botters at this point and should be removed so just use that.

    A lot of scammers use multiple emails/accounts so I do not see that as a reason to keep farms in. If farms are a scammer/hacker protection, we need a better solution as I did not even notice that feature until a year into gameplay when my farm playing friend explained it. I imagine the average player will not take note.

    Although, if you really do not like a player stalking you, I would use the blacklist system. Not amazing but should help.
