COLORED NAMES ARENT ALLOWED ANYMORE !!!

[Spookstah]

Colored names/nicks aren't allowed anymore.

They give us huge problems with the stats and admining the server, we will kick you when you use it and if you dont change it you will be banned in the end.

whoe yeah no more stupid colored names. it was fun for about 10 minutes and then it became confusing. i agree with banning the colors

Yeah, because when you shot a guy, and his name was red, you couldn't tell if it was a teammate or not, and a teamkill would mess up your stats, so.. NICE IDEA spookstah!

The new rule isnt there because of the TK in stats, because if you dont see the difference between friend or foo outfit maybe you should buy glasses first then start playing GO again but its done because of the non readable names by faststat/ASE/GameSpy and our remote admin tools, so the colors f*ck up the whole game.

Good thing to get rid of it.
Even if it's easy to see whom is enemy or friend the colour of the name sure can make one confused, and that milli-second can be of vital importance ;-)
Thanks for clearing up that issue Spook.

The usage of colored names is also forbidden on our own server [TheEdge] Globalops 2.1

Same reason as given here....

I dont think so many has understand that:
ALL THE RULES THAT APPLY ON TLP1
ALSO APPLY ON TLP2

so when an admin on TLP2 tells you NOT to use colornames.....now you know why.

Since the problem with Fastsats is solved, I think we should reconsider the rules on coloured names. You say it gives TK issues and in general colours are confusing for the players. This might be true but i've experienced that this rule makes a creates problem. All the players on TLP are trying to get the ppl using colours out, and if there is no admin around this sometimes leads to serious fights on the server. Also I dont think its that confusing anymore, most ppl are used to it now since its allowed on most others servers. I think that there is a lot of unnecsesairy fuzz made about namecolours. You might not be able to ban them that easy, but if they dont give any reason for a ban then whats the problem. If you ask me we should allow coloured names. Give it a thought and respond.

Colored names suck, If I see one I'll kickvote and most off the time it passes, so I think there are a lot of people that dont like them.

The issue with FastStats was one of the technical problems. But there are some others (like ASE that don't display the colored names).
And the main reason is that it is sometimes disturbing. Some players are using too many colors, and some players complain about TK. So I don't think we should accept the colored names. For me, the rule still applies.

[Sandurion]

I agree puma, if I point a someone and his name is red i will shoot him and then he turns out to be a teammate. that is very confusing.

The colored names ( red/green ) isnt a problem when you can see the color of the clothes but in dark places like the middle building in antartica the confusion can be great.
Also the colors aint adding anything to gameplay itselfs, it only gives problems some minor some big so the RULE STAYS

[Diablo0001]

I think its right to ban coloured names, i've walked up to someone looked at there name and its green and then they have killed me and anyway it looks dumb.

[Django]

[Necroid]
