Simple, make ID's only viewable as an admin or s-admin.

You may have something there

tapemaster21 · June 23, 2008, 12:55:46 AM

I like it. Good idea.

Jaydee · June 23, 2008, 01:49:12 AM

It may solve problems.

But Admins and SAdmins can also be handicaps, who discrminate ID's.

I dislike the Idea. Why not just make the IDs Random like a Credit Card Numbers so no one will know if your new or not, Example.

Ya. Could be also

Uh..who cares? Time will pass, 6000+ will no longer be the noobs, and the next line of ID's can get attacked.

No. The only people who could actually ID discriminate would have to be admin anyway. Also if you want to ban someone and for whatever reason don't have their name, you wouldn't be able to ban their ID. Only noobs ID discriminate, and their just discriminating against new players to mask their own noobiness. (I'm using noob as a term to describe annoying, spammy, childish, and ignorant. Not to be confused with Newb meaning new player.) With there being so many noobs lately, newbs are being misguided to think that it's ok to be a noob. Anyway IDs are important, without IDs it'd be a lot harder to help new players due to not being able to pinpoint them. Also nobody would be able to recognize the somewhat legendary players with IDs below 1k. This would remove a sort of help agency.

No just leave it the way it is, it's just the current gap between age groups it will soon close though and things will work fine. i think

Yeah "things will improve" is bullstuff. People will always base things off ID's. Players discriminate against players no matter if they are admin or s-admin. If you are on a server and meet someone named "Luxikous" and hes smart you will remember that.� When you host you will be like "omg hes 4502". People who are against this are usually the ones who are the discriminators.

Badspot could do what they did for steam ids.
But with the amount of people playing blockland right now the current system is just fine.

Vertzer · June 23, 2008, 03:07:47 PM

I'm against this because I'd like to be able to see ID's for future reference.
