Exchange player's server ID with TMP ID

[Guest]

Suggestion Name: Exchange player's server ID with TruckersMP ID
Suggestion Description: Instead of e.g. 1838 or 793 or 42 there would be the TMP ID.
Any example images: ///
Why should it be added?:

All the process of /pinfo for evidence when reporting or something else could be a lot easier if just the TMP ID would be displayed. Unique and no further action required.

The 3-4 digit number that you see next to the user is their server number, the server registers them as that number making it easier for administrators to ban user's from above.

 

If only the truckers ID showed then it would be more of a hassle for administrators to ban / kick players quickly and effectively.

 

This number is also crucial to important client information linked to the user on the server should the developers need to use this information for any reason, it is also stored in the server side and locale logs for future reference and clarification.

Hello

 

This was suggested before.. But however imagine having to report in-game the guy with the id 1000001 or the one with the id 10000001 this would be confusing for the player,I like how they id's are now.

 

If you won't type pinfo just open tab and report them so their id will be displayed.

Well at the moment there is a 4 digit number, most of TMP accounts do have 6 digit, now a few 7 digit. It is not much more ^^

There is no account with so many digits. We just broke one million registered players. That is 7-digit. And there is only one user with that ID. However, I don't think that it would cause much hassle.

Well if reports in-game would be handled more effectively, it may be an option. But for some reason a player can only be reported once, and, in a lot of cases, that report is not seen at all. Have seen a lot of "ban sessions" on youtube. There are some reports not handled at all. So if I really want someone to look at it, I need some evidence (e.g. screenshots, video cap). But for that, I can't use the ingame report menu. /pinfo necessary.

This is more like another suggestion even though I don't want to spam the whole forum with my suggestions

Besides, if one player blocks first, gets reported, ports around and does a second offence for ramming, the report menu is completely useless as it says that the player is already been reported. It does not show for what and when. It could be more effective if several players can report a user. Like on Calais - Duisburg road, it basically affects more than just one player if someone blocks the road. But the report via menu is only for one single report. For me, it does not make sense to limit the report to just one within that cd period.

We can change it then ^^ We just did the first million. And admins should be able to handle figures about 1 to 10 million. Hopefully they can.

-1 the current system is fine, having the TMP as the in game id would be way too much, especially with the fact that there are over 1 million users and that will only increase. It would make it much easier for admins to make a mistake having those longer number aswell as making it harder to make out the longer numbers, especially when you might only have a second or 2 to get someones number.

The current system is much faster, easier to ban Player #1002 than player #1000002. You need to count the number of 0s, visually 1002 you know is 1002 but 1000002 could be mistaken for something else or maybe they miss a 0.... idk lol.  

[Aestrial]

The current way works fine. With your suggestion, it just making it even harder and more complicated. As mentioned above, its much easier to find player 1100 instead of 110000000' Current system works fine, no need for change in my opinion.

Not going to happen as it'd require large core changes for little benefit.
