There is unlimited number of nicknames and combinations of letters, numbers and symbols which can be used. It should be 1 player, 1 nickname. Ok if player is using different realms for his nickname, but this is really low and affect on other players. So I don't really see a reason to not protect main player on account which he owns.
However, it is your fault for not creating the account on all realms and ENT will not anything about it.
Of course, everything is fault of user, always, but thing which most surprise me is to see this from one of the community leaders.
As much I'm spending my time here, I have more feeling that game ruiners are more protected and respected than regular players because:
If there is game ruiner in team, for example mass feeder and if votekick is not successful, then players in his team must to play till the end because:
- regular player must not leave the game > he can maybe 1-2 times, but next time administration will deny request because leaving is not allowed, it doesn't important here why player is leaving games, it is important to show player that leaving means no play for next period of time
- regular player must not go afk in that situation, because it is against the rules to not follow the rules and players from that team must to play [must to lose their time, not important 30-40 minutes], I mean feed till end when opponents decided to finally finish their game.
Note: I'm talking mostly about Dota and Lod
private messaging with one of the moderator - won't show his nick:
Hi, I just saw one request which you solved and I think that you did a little mistake which can be used by game ruiners against you or other moderators in future.

Players are able to ruin the game by being new.
Well, some game ruiners can abuse this sentence because it looks like you are approving game ruin by new players, so my suggestion is to change that to "Being noob is not bannable" or "We do not ban players for being noob" or something similar. This is friendly advice, I had a lot experience with similar problems.
Best regards.

No no I meant that. It's a part of our votekick rules. If new players refuse to take advice or refuse to learn, they can ruin the game in some cases and can be votekicked
Not easy to understand point of this, but meaning of this is still approving game ruining by staff member and this surprised me more than anything else on any forum where I was user.
And last thing, for fuck sake please update your rules. Only members who knows the rules on this server are Moderators and higher. Rules are same for dota or lod and for burbenog. I'm very sure that 80% players have no idea what does this sentence means "Do not purposely glitch or exploit the game." or even what do you want from them when asking this in their unban request "Please head to our wiki (
http://wiki.entgaming.net/) and find the rule you broke." Rule about how cleaning mines is forbidden with courier doesn't exist, except in few non-sticky topics and of course players are surprised and confused because they are banned for that which is not their fault, but fault of ENT for not updating their rules for ages. For you "glitch" is strong word, for users, they have no idea what does it means. I needed few days to realize what exactly is under this rule.
I know there is 90% chance that you will say "who cares for your opinion" or "you don't like something, go play somewhere else" or "your problem", but I hope that 10% chance will be for someone to reconsidered some things again and to see the way how to approach to problems.
Thank you for your time.
