Prolly most of you (especialy .eu) players have seen gamers,  the retarded gamers, who join the server, make team kills or call random kick votes, and then rename themselfs so they cannot be punished. Doubling thename of some other player on the server, makes it hard to kick such a moron. Imo doubling name should be forbiden by and im sure its not smth that cant be done. Also the time between calling votes, especialy for kick should be longer..

My opinion on such matters remains, a global identification server that registers nicknames (like this forum and irc nickservs) is the way to go. Not necessarily with disallowing other names or even duplicates but by having a 'registered' icon next to identified nicknames. It would generate trust among users and know more easily who are the 'rebels'.

ps. Of course, Oswald said this game gets no updates after the next (and little ones till then) so whatever, at least talking about gaming in general..

Yeah that happend to me yesterday some guy was name stealing, I think PB can stop it but if you dont have PB it wont. The best thing to do is to disconnect and rename yourself then try kicking the name stealer. This is often to hard as I found out..  :x phrehaps BE will provide somthing like this we can only hope.

In fact someone is still using it! I think as i saw myself on a sever getting kicked, it destroys your reputation or can do looks like Im going to have to rename myself. GRRR your not the only one PsyCh0m4n1aC

If you call a kick vote you choose the player from the list,
for what i saw he can rename tons of time, but vote will kick him.

But which name do you pick, if he always takes the name of another player... That's the real issue AFAICT. Changing to an already existing nick should at least add a suffix, like a number (or a prefix like "Copy of " ;)). Of course this would go for "New URT Player" as well. It's a common problem that it's impossible to tell who to kick when there are several of them on a server. Client ID would only help if it would be shown next to the nick for every player action on the console (like on GTV).

It's quiet easy.
If you check drawteamoverlay, hit messages, teamm8's positions,
waverespawns, if it's time to reload weap,
you are also able to put an eye when somebody join.
Then check minutes and score pressing TAB, maybe when you are dead waiting for respawn - stupid

man that kind of talk is like amish point of view - making something easy is wrong(ie. use technology to live in better live conditions), lets use the harder way..

its a problem, and its a matter of few lines of code to solve it.

Wrong.  :-D

It's called "try to do something, always, in any condition" (until your mentioned lines of code will come to help)
I will not refuse them, so wasn't amish p.o.v. (mentioning amish and a videogame is a bit lol
but i got what you wanted to say)
