Clans in the lobby
Get annoyed at all the clan tags everywhere in the lobby? I know I do. So, having thought about it, I came up with a pretty simtple solution. Instead of people renaming their accounts when joining a clan (something that causes problems in itself), have a seperate peice of data stored with each user's other info: clan. So, instead of renaming your account to change clans, you simply type '/clan FOO'. Then, as the clan tag is now stored seperately from the username, clan tags could be filtered out for those that dont want them. Clan channels could be set to only accept members of a certain clan. People wouldnt have to rename their accounts to join a clan. It just simplyfies things a little bit. Anyone like the idea?

I wouldn't know why people should lose their rank when renaming. but the rename feature was indeed called in existance to allow people to wear clantags. Having decent support for clan tags would be nice. Go betalord! (I'm sure AFlobby will eventually have it though).clericvash wrote:I would love to see this feature, people should not be able to keep their rank when they rename either.

Well that isn't going anywhere. That's the whole point of allowing renaming in the first place. Rank isn't some social status, it's a record of experiance. You don't lose experiance changing your handle.clericvash wrote:I would love to see this feature, people should not be able to keep their rank when they rename either.
it has to be server side or it won't change anything ..
otherwise, only those using alternative clients (far from everyone) won't see the tag and will use the rename thingy
what you can d otho is reconize [.....]name as a clan tag and process it like you need, i think i'll do this with my client
(for uniques names, you can use IPs)
