Give Players A Player Tag

I would like to have a player tag, similar to a clan tag. This way, when I boot someone, I will always be able to know who it was. I have Jacks and Mikes in the clan all the time. Let us differentiate them a bit.



Keep it alive if you think this could be helpful :)

Could be cool to if you could collect tags of people you beat, and receive the tags of your conquerors... I'm kind of thinking Call of Duty player emblems.

I'm actually not a COD player, so not entirely sure how that works, but I do agree that this idea could develop further into future uses :) For now I am content with using it as an identification number.

I see how a number is practical, but what if it could be like a short phrase that can be personalized by each player?

I Like To Collect All Player Tags
I collect every Clan Tag I Go And Leave

possibly, but I think it would make it easier on sc if they generated random numbers like the clan tag. The players would have to make a tag unique to each base as well then

Needed.

We used to have four "Josh"s. Now there are three "matthew"s and three "Thomas"s.

Breeches privacy, will never happen IMO

How does having a player tag breach privacy? It's essentially the same has everyone not being able to have the same name which is the case in most online games/forums/here right now. OP didn't say that people can be searched by player tags or a ban list will record player tags, so I'll assume plans to write down tags

If you cant see how this would breech privacy its probably not worth explaining to you, maybe the solution would be to make this an optional setting.

If you can't explain, then maybe it's not worth arguing with you

Sorry if this doesn't apply to you, but I am a human. Like other humans, I want to be recognized as my name. I want people to call me "Joshua" Josh" or even "ColonelAwesome," but I don't want people calling me "Member number 2834561"

Lol I promise I will still call you ColonelAwesome. Tags are shown in the profile not the chat, and no one is going to bother saying hey #7PR895BXC!

As for privacy concerns, I do not know what concerns the concerns would be.

This would be great, accompanied by a clan ban list

An individual unique player tag would be visible by looking at the players profile, it would not be a substitute for their name as used currently.

The privacy concern seems quite fanciful. A findable unique tag does not enable you to discover any personal information.
