Leaderboard listing even with map not visible at all and activity privacy set to Me Only

[tvale]

I think it would make a great feature if segment achievements would appear on leaderboard even with map turned off and activity set to private or just friends only, like if there would be another privacy setting just for segments. I'd like to compete or measure with others, but I don't like the idea of putting nearly all activity stats and its route for everyone to see ...

If you mean a "virtual" position of your private rides segments efforts in the overall leaderboard then this was suggested before: https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/ideas/private-leaderboard-classification/idi-p/1598

An official rank with private rides should never be allowed because nobody could check your activity for wrong activity types or bad gps data then.

Would be great to have an option to participate in segments and local legend routes without activities needing to be public. I have a private account, and want to keep my activities private for safety reasons -  it would be great to be able to participate in this without feeling like I have to compromise my safety. Instead of the visibility only being: everyone, followers, or no one, maybe there could be a fourth option where the segments/local legend routes could be added so that your efforts are counted towards those leaderboards.

Unfortunately that is not possible because the community needs a way to flag activities with the wrong sports type or GPS errors. Every cheater would just make their activity private in order to avoid flagging.
