Profile Change
 
There are many staff impersonators in the game, and I know how to put an end to this. In the real staff's profile, there will be a line on an empty space that says "I am an admin" or something like that. That would reduce the scamming impostors

Agreed :)

The Doctor 06-08-2012 02:36 AM

Thanks

Peter5498 06-08-2012 02:38 AM

I agree.

Cigam 06-08-2012 02:47 AM

Or just use your brain and tell out the scammers and the real one.

People are too stupid.

Peter5498 06-08-2012 02:56 AM

I think there's actually a small difference that's really hard to tell in the profile too.

poorface 06-08-2012 03:52 AM

Or maybe just have the type of admin they are (ex: Player Relations, Developer) somewhere on the profile. "I'm an admin" would be kinda weird..

Ace 06-08-2012 04:18 AM

but admins don't trade...

I saw this girl who had Cat's head, and was hacking so it seemed like she had admin powers, and she scammed 5 excaliburs.

LavaClaw 06-08-2012 05:43 AM

Or just have our name displayed on our profile as an alternate colour. Great idea though. Then again, we'd need a way to identify ourselves on our idevice accounts.

iDevice Profile: Blue Name.

it was this random hacker, called herself Cat612.
I tried to warn people she was a scammer, but they didn't listen

The Doctor 06-08-2012 10:34 AM

Yea, maybe it should say the type of admin in the profile. And admins can specify their iDevice accounts so players know those also.

Shyre 06-08-2012 10:49 AM

Players cannot wear a staff tag and staff's nickname at their PM response is red I believe so no need of that.

Majority of era are stupid and don't know this.

Johnaudi 06-08-2012 11:56 AM

Why not also disabling the use of putting names in nickname place? Like you guys did for the parentheses "()"
So add it as
if (this.text=clientr.staff) {
this.text == "";
}
That might help for the people copying staff names... (P.S: I suck at scripting but I hope you got my point)
EDIT: if you didn't understand, that means putting "snk" for example in your nickname will get deleted automatically.

Yes we could add such a protection like Johnaudi said but new players would still think that you are a staff member. Just deal with it that you can't have a staff's tag until you are hired. It's to protect new players getting scammed off items/iTunes ID's since they will think that you are a staff member and don't really know about the red (PMs) / golden (nicknames) colors from the staff team.

FYI, new players doesn't have anything to get scammed of =] that's y I like nubs <3

Cigam 06-09-2012 03:05 PM

Or there could be a special symbol for staff members like the gender symbols. But like I said befoire, just use your brain to tell which is which.

The Doctor 06-09-2012 03:07 PM

What if the staff member is on their iPad account and getting bugged about 'impersonation'? Maybe the staff can give their account a little profile update with that text.

I can enforce PC account not iOS device.
I'll arrange something tomorrow :)
