Sorry, but this is what PM and email to staff is for.

I said "community," not "staff." If I have information that I think will be of interest to the community, my inclination will be to alert the community directly, not through an authority figure. The only reason I'd alert "staff" is if it were something that only they could handle, as in a critical game bug (since the source is closed).

In my own opinion people who wish to remain annonamus either fall into the following 2 catagories.

1. Fear for there saftey for some reason.

2. Have something to hide.

In my opinion you have a cop mentality.

Sorry but we will aid Server Admins to provide a (identity) of sorts for them to ban. If they want you ban, they can ban you.

And where did I suggest that I disapprove of this? I believe in empowering server admins to run an enjoyable server where communities can be built.

What I said was that there are non-malicious reasons why players may want to alias. For example...

3) Want to be left alone if they're well-known on the server (sometimes I alias because I don't want to have to deal with people bugging me for clan invites, demo reviews, scrims, any of the hundred other things)

...among a myriad of other possibilities.

But of course, those with cop mentalities will have difficulty grasping this concept.

Well excuse me for being cynical and having a cop mentality, but the US congress killed my faith in government recently, and the cynicism has expanded to Urban Terror, where, as server admin, being cynical and having a cop mentality is the name of the game to keep the servers clean. Though I can also understand the other reasons.

Maybe, but you are close minded and have yet to think this through properly, if you think Passport will turn UrT into a dictatorial world and big brother will allways be watching you are mistaken.

You can play anonymously but if you go against a server admins wishes they will be able to punish you.

I'm sorry but in a case where you wish Urban Terror to be lawless i have to disagree with you. This is the problem we have now, people have zero respect and we have alot of people who think it is FUN to ruin peoples fun whome play fairly.

So if you please, it may not be such a bad idea to look objectionably at this. Kalish and I have certainly been objectionable when designing it over the last 1 year and a bit, so can you take 30 seconds maybe to reavaluate you choices ?

I'm not about to take advice on avoiding knee-jerk reaction from someone who clearly doesn't read posts before responding to them.

At any rate, this is starting to feel like it might turn nasty, which I don't want, and I don't think you want, so let's just drop it, shall we? I'll register my Passport complaints once it's released, if I have any.

Whatever.
I can't imagine a thing about what you want to alert the community anonymously anyway.

I for my part appreciate the effort of the devs.

You did well to hold on to faith for so long, but there are good governments, that's just not one of them

P.S. I think Passport is awesome, even if it didn't allow for aliasing (which it does) I wouldn't mind, that is convenient but not important IMO
