Remove renaming option

Postby CODSith01 » 04 Mar 2018, 22:37

Hello guys.
Im pretty new to this game but I continously meet very offensive, abusive and other bad kinds of players.
But not only that. There are also players which are promising, that they are not lagging but as soon as the game starts they start lagging and don't want to leave, etc.

With that I started to create a "blacklist" where I write the names of players down but then I saw that they can just rename theirselves which is really bad because you can't track those players. As far as I know there is no possible other thing to track these players and I also can't find a report section for such players.

So I wanted to suggest that a removal of the renaming option wouldn't be too bad or maybe put an ID system online where you can see a fixed code for each player so we can sort really offensive players out.

Kind regards,

every user (already) has a unique ID which cannot be changed

the client also has a tool for checking for aliases

you can use this tool to keep a blacklist based on player IDs viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5578

Oh, thank you a lot!
I unfortunately didn't see that you can actually check for player aliases.
Also, thank you a lot for posting that tool. I'll immediately start using it
Sorry for posting without checking for these things properly...

I guess you can close that thread. Thank you
