RE: Auth names showing up on the scoreboard

The admin should be able to see the auth names just like IP addresses whenever they like, but there is no strong reason to make the whole server aware.
No, it's not exactly the same as an IP address, but what's the point of having /name at all with auth displayed?
Auth is a behind-the-scenes kind of a thing, let's keep it there.
There are times still that I play 4.1, just so I can play with an alias. People who know me, will know me.
Is this ever going to be legitimately discussed? Is this ever going to change? Is there some reason you wont change it if that's your decision? This has been brought up update after update. Most people that run public servers can see the importance of this. In a league environment, I can see why it is important to be completely visible - not in a public server.

agree with the above.. like whenever i want to hit up a jump server, i like to be aliased for the simple fact being that i just wanna be left alone.. i didn't mind teaching people jumps back in the day, but that was then... there are a lot more people nowadays that are just far to annoying or ungrateful..

The reason there is no general discussions going on is Authentication is now for real and Raider and his crew are now in-charge. If an individual has a legitimate reason for masking their ID then it's up to them to contact Raider directly but there is no assumption of privacy when using a screen name to begin with.

Sigh. Guess that's that.
**If this ever were to be rethought (which I really think it should be), I would suggest that auth names are only visible to everyone if Match Mode is enabled or something to that effect.

Or just log the hell out
What does #1 have to do with you playing on a server then needing to go to spec?
#2 why the hell should people have to log out just to admin their servers privately.
I could see your snotty point if I had not given a decent suggestion for it. Maybe it would be easy to implement? Maybe it wont? Maybe they don't care enough to implement it? Telling people to "log the hell out" isn't really too helpful though.
gg QA
P.S. Past this "suggestion", or whatever you would call it, I'd still like to hear RaideR's input on the matter.
