Probably not that effective due to the ability to switch usernames at will, but if you find any player in particular being a problem then you can post about it here.

They can change appearance too. In some cases we can probably get their forum name, which will at least let us see if they're regularly an issue.
Well yes but the person could always make a completely new character with different name and look, rendering the screenshot pointless 
Yay for a working subforum for us Good idea on the list of changes on the servers to keep track, really useful. Styo pointed out that we should make a public list of the admins in the game, someone could do this, perhaps Archonsod? Perhaps just put in our usernames (Forum & Warband)" and 'region' "(US/EU)".

Yes, this. I wouldn't mind knowing, myself.
Actually now would it be better if the public knew or didnt know?okiN said:sadnhappy said:Yay for a working subforum for us

Like do you know what i mean? Lets say we make a sticky saying Bob, phill, and roger are admins. Now when a player goes in the server and sees any of them, he wont glitch on purpose until they left. As if he didnt who is an admin and who isnt he would go ahead and glitch on purpose not knowing there is an admin in the server...you know?
Any thoughts?

Now that I really think about it. I totally agree. I think it would be more beneficial if we/they/anyone did not publicly released who is an admin and who isn't. This could potentially save us all from alot of annoying problems.
1) Name duplication. If an admin signs off, someone can then just take their name and pretend they are the admin. Maybe demand things on the "or else ill ban" basis, or whatever. And people would probably not want to risk it knowing said person is an admin for real.
2) Bi-polar disorder. Exactly like styo said. If joe-bob is a general asshat, but somehow just always "happens" to be nice if he knows admins/mods/devs are around.

Here's my thought on that: I think that if we really are active (Which is one of the reasons that we were chosen), there would be enough of us online troughout the day, especially when it's the busiest time in our respectful GMT time
And hey, what keeps us from disguising ourselves? Should we ever get a report of a person who's 'cheating' and acting badly, couldn't we just make up another name and character to see it for ourselves? Thus the catalyst in the questions would keep doing shenannigans, not knowing that there is infact an admin online on the server. In fact we could do this ('anonymous' playing) from time to time to see if this thing which you pointed out, actually happens.

*facepalm* you make an interesting point. What keeps us from playing the same game. And in this way, people on the forums can PM any of us for people to watch out for.

I'll start a new thread if people want to post their location/availability/warband name here.
Same here.

Personally I would prefer we had tagged toons and optional non-tagged ones. Sure you can go undercover at will, but it's good that the community sees we are policing the game.
You can always add an ADM tag. You can keep multiple profiles, so you could set up one non-admin and one admin profile and just switch between them as needed.
Archonsod said:That's what I'd worry about. On the other hand knowing who the admins are makes it easier if people want to report problematic players or similar. Of course, we can always just list the forum name and leave the warband name out, that would still give people a means of talking to us via the board and leave it up to us whether we want to be recognisable on the servers.

Whoops sorry. While the discussion was going on here I was making one.

Agreed, but I think my worry is anyone can add an ADM tag....
