Title: Disguise for vips/admins
Post by: Apie2 on July 16, 2011, 08:42:13 AM
Eeeyyy guys,

Its maybe good for vips and admins to have a disguise that you can turn on or off so guys can't see if you are vip or admin.
So its easier when you get called for help to see that there is something happening agianst the rulez.
Sometimes I call a vip/admin becaus there is a rdmer and then when the admin/vip joins he stops doing it and when the vip/admin is gone they start.
But its just a suggestion.

create a custom group that has a guest tag
has all the abilities of regular admin
???
prawfit

I actually saw a server that did that with all their admins. It worked out pretty well.

i think  :thumbsup: on this idea, then we would be able to catch all the RDM'rs and Minges
although im not sure how easy it would be to switch your DIsguise on and off

this was shot down many times before. maybe for admins, but for vips its not necessary.
We are supposed to be known, and seen.

although it would REALLY REALLY help if you guys didn't go OH HEY _______(vips name) when we join under false identities

Well, I'm okay with this idea, there is nothing that could go wrong I believe, it also would be useful, well at least for me.

Kind've like how Benem yells out in global "OHEY JIMONIONS (or any other admin) IS HERE!!!!"

I've actually experienced it...Jim left the server he was in because of that Dx

I disagree. It would really help.
If not for VIP, then I really hope Minic finishes working on that shit to spawn or remove snowball ._.. When ever I join and someone gets my snowball the majority of people know that I'm there :-[.

"I won this from a T-shirt contest. You can't get them anymore"
lol

A suggestion I guess is the ability to turn the admin's names on and off. (the yellow).
Then they wouldn't have to type to show their admin tag and such.

Post by: Deacon on July 16, 2011, 02:36:39 PM
that still doesn't affect the problem. People know who the vips and admins are. we promote knowing them, in case you ever need help. the problem is when you know we join under false identities, you don't keep it to yourself.
you go
HEY ________
OH HEY ____________
GUYS SECRET ADMIN ________IS HERE

which makes it absolutely pointless, even if we could hide our tags.

Maybe we should add Different names? like
Player1
player2
or some random name like.... Fence?
lol but just have them as like a costume for your name, so that no one will really know if its an Admin or not.

Well, to be honest

If someone calls you out as VIP when they know they shouldn't

Don't have them on your friends list.

You in specifically or everyone?
I'm able to, not sure how it works though.

go to friends window and click arrow by your name, go offline.

you will still be able to play, you just wont be able to talk to friends over steam as you appear offline to them.

1. Make second steam account
2. Get gmod for that account somehow
3. Play gmod in that account in rnd servers
4. If finding hacker, use another computer with gmod with the account that has vip/admin
5. Join server, if full, then select option join when empty space
6. If it was full, quit the server from the other lolzy account
7. Join the server and kick/ban
8. ???
9. Profit!

On the serious note though, it's not something that I think could be abused and would help the community get rid of hackers/rdmers/whatever. Just change name/avatar temporarily

A lot of the time identity is revealed by other players in the server.

Tags are only shown during chat or mic usually.

Easiest way is changing name/avatar and going offline on steam friends.

I'll lock this as I think the above is a better solution to the issue.
