Why STALKR Says Tracking Enforced

Short answer

Tracking Enforced is a Crew rule that prevents everyone in that Crew, including the owner, from going Dark. An authorized owner must turn enforcement off in Crew settings before the Live/Dark control can change.

Steps

  1. Open the Crew settings as an authorized owner.
  2. Disable enforced tracking.
  3. Return to the map drawer and use GO DARK if needed.

How this works

Enforcement is Crew policy, loaded with Crew state and applied to every sharing decision in that Crew. It is not a per-member setting, and the Live/Dark control cannot bypass it — the button refuses the change and explains why.

It cannot manufacture a location either. A device with location permission denied publishes nothing regardless of enforcement, so enforcement fixes intent, not whether a position exists.

It applies only to the Crew that turned it on. Your other Crews and any active Journey keep their own independent sharing state, and enforcement is a Pro admin control in the current plan matrix.

What happens next

The saved change appears in the relevant map, library, or sharing scope when the service confirms it.

Common problems

  • Location permission is still required; enforcement cannot make a denied device publish a location.
  • The Live/Dark button refuses the change and explains why.
  • Enforcement in one Crew does not reach another Crew or a Journey.
