Naming Hackers. issue for Players

[nokyookami 63]

Wasnt Sure Were to Type this and Seems Most Hacker Based Topics are Locked?

Anyway it is sort of Both a Question to Admins and Suggestion for Players

Ive Not Been Hacker Attacked MySelf
But when a Hacker has inevitably Struck Seems it is Very Hard or Impossible for Players of Standard Level To Kill And Get their Usernames

Would it Be at all Helpful to ScreenCap the  Player Screen(P Key) With all Players on that Servers Names Listed

Perhaps Though Not Quite as Easy as Direct Identification But Would it Help Track Down Hackers or Perhaps Help in Some way?

My Theory Was Perhaps if People Get Attacked by Hackers and ScreenCap the Player List It Would Show who was online at the Time And  Perhaps that Might Narrow Down Relativly Who Might Be Responsable Enough that the Admin Team Could Look into these Incidents and Bring us one Step Closer to Holding those Accountable Responsible

 

also If Same Players Names Appear Multiple Times From Different Reported Incidents That Might Help Even More so ?

What does the Community think? Input Appreciated ^_^
More members Brainstorming Might Come up With a Better Method than Mine for Sure

Goodluck all, Stay Safe

What's the point, the hacker can just change the name on the next server. The game used to use names based on your steam name and i thought this made a lot of sense and was in preparation for more server rules so you could locate a hacker by steam name and report them, i was WRONG.

 

What they decided to do was make everyone's name completely anonymous, even if you got the hackers in game name it means nothing, they can change that name as soon as they leave. Basically they made it even harder for us the players to deal with hackers ourselves. If they had not done this i could have easily reported at least three players by now as i have killed hackers and got their names but since it is not tied to steam it means nothing, also i happen to know a lot of hackers change their in game name every time they play so this just wont work any way you look at it anymore, it's a real shame.

I have nothing to add here, other than what was said prior to me posting. However, I do have a question for you, what's with the capitals?

Yeah I Had thought of that Also About the Name Change

But Perhaps  Admins or Who Ever Looks into Hack Cases Can Tie Names To Certain IP's Logged to their Sessions And Tie Certain IP's to Steam Users

Its a Long Shot But Just An Idea i Had While Reading Someones Locked Hacker Report Admins Said it Was a Shame He Couldn't Get their IGN Cause they Could Have tracked the User

I Just thought in the Event you Dont Kill a Hacker this Might Be an Alternate Method To Give Some Hope to Finding it out

Anyway Sorry to Hear that you Have Run into that Many Hackers

Good Job Taking Down 3 though Nice ^_^

I've heard worse ideas

So you read the suggestion Topic(s) that have been locked and decided to make another using another suggestion.

 

Nice to know you've never seen or witnessed a hacking attack.

What motivated you to make this Topic, fear of the dark, old wives tales, perhaps the brothers Grimm...

 

I am going to start giving warnings to those that make hackspam without sense.
