delvin Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) we have all had problems when making a TG or some VS. pose the solution in an easy way and you will see, a kind of counter of games played, where you are classified depending on those games, either a symbol or some kind of rank, so you can detect if that player was ever able to play.

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'm going to call our expert @Yekaterina. I like the idea. This is how many current games work. With leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 This is a good idea. We just need a way to quickly put a new account into one of these leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I might be missing sth, but how is this a solution to smurfing? If someone doesn't want to show their rating, why would they show these patches? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delvin Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 @Gurken Khan Once entered, all users will be in the counter balloon, if the user does not have any rank, it would definitely be a new user, since many times we are being deceived in TG by players who pretend to be new, so we know who to play with those who have played as is the case in a tg semi-op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 My curiosity is, how is smurfing still possible: all my attempts to create a smurf account has failed; each time I either get an authentication error or my main account being banned. Is the moderator just targeting me or does this apply to everyone but some people have clever ways to bypass? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone doesn't want to show their rating, why would they show these patches? There are 3 types of smurfs: 1. People who want a new name / identity just for themselves. Maybe for some anonymity, maybe to escape persecution, or maybe just want a cooler name. E.g. me, IsuckNubton, 01100...., Daughter 2. People who forgot their username or password or both but can't be bothered to ask for help on forum then wait for someone to respond. Creating another account is much much easier and quicker. E.g. Cousin, Christoffel symbol 3. Malicious people who just want to cause trouble. E.g. Melusines, PhyZic I don't see why people in category 1 and 2 would refuse to conform to the badge system. If a game is imba because they lied, they wouldn't have much fun neither, we all know that, so type 1 and type 2 smurfs will use this as a quick way to get back into TGs and rejoin the known players list. So it is useful. Type 3 will refuse, of course, but their acts will soon be reported and they will be banned, not for smurfing but other malicious behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
