command request Command Request XxZachxX

[XxZachxX]

Account Name: XxZachxX

Rank: Sposnor

Requested Commands: To have the tag Nick: removed (IF POSSIBLE) when having a nickname

Reason for Request: It is annoying to have the extra thing on my name to represent that I have a nickname but also that a lot of people are calling me Nick because it says Nick: Zach and they don't read the Zach part. So if I could have this removed that would be cool, if its not possible that's OK.

Sorry Zach, from what I've heard having the (Nick) is always going stay when you use a nickname, it makes it easier on players to determine whether you're using a nick or not. I have noticed players call people "Nick", It does get annoying but its just something you must put up with. I have asked about it myself once and it was denied.

As far as I’m aware this is a global setting in essentials, and cannot be removed from a single user. Besides, the point of nick is to prevent impersonations and it’s actually more important than you think- for the server.

[GunnerHQ]

If you want a name change, why don't you change your account name directly? and not having to use the /nickname?

But yes the Nick is there to show that you changed the display name.

[XxZachxX]

@GunnherHQ it's not that simple, because 1 I like the color to my name also, I play a bunch of different and older modded servers and would be a pain to switch my name ALSO I don't think Zach is available as an MC name.

If we can find a better format for nicknames we can change it, but it's global so it will change for everyone. We need something so we know when the player has a nickname set. Any suggestions?

[Voodoo]

Perhaps something that stands out but doest look like a name.

Like 

[Rank][N]>username<

[XxZachxX]

Yea, I like VooDoo's suggestion... Maybe do the default Essentials nickname thing ~ , But I do like the [Rank][N]Username

[Henk]

I agree with how it is now, " Nick " isn't that bad, and having a [N] tag will likely cause more confusions than anything else.
Not to mention the chance of impersonating is also bigger in this case, compared to how it is now

[Voodoo]

Tbh.. how it is now never bothered me. Yes some people get confused.. but after letting them know it stands for nickname its easily solved.

 

[XxZachxX]

Henk, I don't understand how impersonating would be an issue with [N] its basically an abbreviated version of Nick:, also I do not think impersonation would be an issue, since they cannot use the players name anyways because its already taken. You would still have something that shows the person has a nickname just not Nick: its [N]. 

[Katalyst_x]

Using [N] as you suggested could be misunderstood as a rank as the ranks Currently use the [ ] brackets , therefor just adding more confusion to the whole tag/rank system. Impersonations will have a much higher success rate if this [N] was to be used.  

 

Sorry if you disagree with what I've said but it's how I see this. 

 

Again maybe just keep your name without a nick or be happy with the current system. It's here for a reason.
