1. This nick system WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR USERNAME. It will only change your rank shown. So, if you are obsidian rank, you would type /nick, and it would give you a GUI that lets you pick what rank you want to be, and what voting perks that rank has.

This way, if you play eggwars, your friends can vote, and you can be a stone rank, and reduce the amount of targetting you recieve. Or, if you dont want to do that, you can change to a higher rank, for full voting abilities in that game.

Whenever you log on, you will automatically be back to an obsidian rank. And if you also have plus, you would have to option to disable your plus perks and look like a non plus member.

Keep in mind that people with ranks usually get targeted, and people usually dont read through the whole list of stone ranked people in their game. This is just something that I thought wouldn’t be exploitable that would help with the targeting.



2. Another thing I thought of would be to let obsidian rankers change their names, but only let them replace letters such as “e-3”, i-1-l”, “o-0”, “a-q”, “k-lc”, etc. (if you can think of any others, then let me know so i can edit this post.

This would be done such as /nick R3lct131or /nick Rektl3l. (Just using my name, Rektlel, as a reference). If their chosen name has differences that do not follow the allowed swaps, the console would give them a list of what swaps are allowed, and tell them to pick a new nickname.

If someone on the server currently has a nickname that you wanted to use, the console would tell them that nickname is already in use.

This method would allow people to have many possible name combinations, without the risk of someone having an inappropriate name.

What if I want to report someone having a nick?
Cubecraft could record a list of all nicks used by each player in the past month, and if the nick used matches the nick in your photo, and the time the ss/video was taken matches the time the nick was in use, then the player could be punished.

Thats just an idea, if u have a better solution then please tell me

Don't see the point of /nick if the only thing you can do is change your rank
I never really get targeted because of my voting anyway

Changing only some letters of someone's name is not going to add any special value, let's take my name for example: "Pr1l3y"

A whole change in the reporting system, confusing moderators and members, for only a small tiny addition to make obsidian members’ life’s easier? Nahh.

I don't think changing your nick to your name with some random digits will help a lot. I think there should appear a random nickname when you /nick. You won't be able to choose your own nick, the system will choose one for you. Its basically like getting an alt account. Also, they should make it plus or obby rank only as it is a pretty good feature and not every player should have this feature.

I think it's a good idea, but maybe that diamond rank (like me) get permissions to do the same thing but then to switch to lower ranks only and I keep the perks while nicked

Obby rank has not enough perks, no point in giving even more perks to lower ranks when there already are enough perks for them.

I doubt if this is going to work. If you are a very known person with obsidian rank, for instance. You still get focussed with stone rank.

Lets use shinte as an example. If someone has the name Sh1nte, with stone rank, he isnt gonna get focused. People will probably think he is a fake. So yes, I think this will work.

I think if nicking will ever be a thing it should generate a complete random name. Otherwise you will always somehow be able to see the persons real name.

Before I say anything, please note that this is my opinion and does not mean this is a final answer.

I really am against players having any sort of nick system. If a player (let us say me) has Obsidian (I don't). I decide "I am tired of this focus, let me use this little nick process". I do the command, get the new rank, and bam I am AnimalTamer1, without Obsidian. Still the same name, which can not be duplicated, so they will know it is me. Now lets says I change my name, I am An1malT4m3r1 (idk if this is a taken name). If it is a taken name, then it will not be able to be nicked that way. If it is not a taken name, I am sure the people who love to focus me could easily (and would if they were suspicious of this being a nick) search up if this account was real. Seeing that the name came up as available, they would know it is me.

Now to explain, asides from the small flaws, why I am against this. I honestly do not need players using this to abuse it in reports. First, if one of these nicked players is reported, because the name is fake it would say "This player has never joined the server", so no report would be able to be submitted. I could also see these nicks being a way to try and break rules without it affecting your account since the users are no longer has their rank or name. Now a lot of you could be trustworthy, but people make mistakes.
You could say: "Oh well there could be a record somewhere that shows when one of us is nicked and to what"
I do not think that is a good use of the moderators time as they would then have to check it for every single report that looks like it could be an obsidian rank. This means reports will go from taking their usual amount of time to quite a bit longer.

There are a few minor other reasons that I am against this being added that I am not putting down. That being said, I love having ideas floating around on things we can add to ranks or give to you guys, but this one is simply not an option, in my opinion.

To be honest, I know, Obsidian rank hasn't got that much more perks then Emerald but if they'd ever release the nick system, it would be better to add it as a perk for the Plus rank. And on the other hand, like others said, it would be really confusing for the staff member to ban those people. And it would be really complicated to make a whole new report system.
