I like how kkaltuu and emb are on different pages. "We are planning" and "I see no reason to restrict".

I said we have decided to remove the ability to change your nickname for all users of the site. I neither said nor implied that we have decided to penalize teams outside of Premiership for not using the same nickname in-game as on the site.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=27749&post=480525 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 21:11:44 +0100 Reply by Wiethoofd https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-27749/page-2/?recent=480535#post=480493 Quoted from kKaltUu

We set higher standards for prem since they're the front end of the league.

I've seen more div 1 matches being casted in the last few weeks than prem matches... Having 3 out of 18 players with a fake nick sucks for the viewers trying to read huds, killfeeds and keep track of who is who if they don't know the entire team roster. Also, playing in any Nations/One Night/Fun Cup the current rule doesn't 'apply' to users with fake nicks, since most of them consist of mix teams. If those are getting casted the casters/viewers don't necessary know who's who.

Adding other divisions to this rule for the off chance they will get casted can do more harm than good if you're looking at the amount of warnings teams are picking up.

Then announce the rule change in a big way and start enforcing it when the next season starts? Perhaps make an example out of prem, div 1 and div 2 teams fake nicking IN OFFICIALS and every player will know that ETF2L officials have to be played with the ETF2L username you supplied. It's even possible to create a server plugin to check the ETF2L xml api based on the players' steamid and force a nickname/tag (like ESEA does), but that might be taking it a step too far :P]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=27749&post=480493 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:40:40 +0100 Reply by kKaltUu https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-27749/page-2/?recent=480535#post=480486 Quoted from ash

Try not to use the chat function during a match unless it is in a positive manner. Any offensive chat as well as spamming binds may lead to a warning for your team. Chat abuse and racist or offensive names/steam avatars will not be tolerated and may be punished with warnings or bans.

Don't fix what isn't broken. The adjustment requested would prove to become an annoyance to many and it'd also be particularly petty to give teams a minor warning because one of their guys forgot to change his name back.

really wouldnt be that much of an issue. it's not like minor warnings mean anything, and im sure admins wouldnt kick entire teams right after the rule takes effect just cause theyre not up to date. knowing who you play against right then and there in officials makes the situation just a little bit more simple.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=27749&post=480463 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:44:12 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-27749/page-2/?recent=480535#post=480454 Quoted from FUN POLICE RUINS TF2

If you aren't getting streamed then who honestly cares? Fun police have to ruin everything.

it boggles my mind how having to change ur nick once a week just for 1 hour official is causing you to not have fun]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=27749&post=480454 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 08:26:00 +0100 Reply by Lapochka https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-27749/page-1/?recent=480535#post=480453 Quoted from Wiethoofd

Maybe allow one FREE nickchange per season

Firstly I want to thank you, man. It always has been very difficult to understand that bybben and bymbzi - is a one person, who is using different nicks to hiding from us! Now it's time to stop this shit. I suggest call all players with a numeric names corresponding to their ETF2L ID. Text names are not allowed. Violation of this rule means a permanent ban! Now I propose to you to think about avatars. They also too confusing (when you play a mix, for example). How our lovely (Paralympians) should quickly to understand who was spawned - demo or soldier? And we must to help them! I suggest to allow to use only 4 standard classes avatars: scout, medic, soldier and demo. P.S. Play or ban. Properly nick or ban. Allowed avatar or ban. New times - new fun, huh? :D]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=27749&post=480453 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 08:19:40 +0100
