WormNET 4.0 username PRE-registration

[Kheldar]

I was imagining what the rankings would be like when they got back up, since I had never experienced them, and I ran into a problem/difficulty that could arise.

Username registration.

With the database starting off fresh, everyone in the community will be needing to re-register their usernames to participate in the leagues. I see this as a major opportunity for people who enjoy being assholes, as they will attempt to register usernames of well-known and not-so-well-known community members, to satisfy their assholish cravings.

I thought of a couple solutions, and I'd like everybody's input and their suggestions as well.

1. Limit username registration to one username per IP per 24 hours. This could be something that would only be implemented for a week after the rankings started, to let everyone get the heads-up and register their names before they are stolen.

2. In event of a username theft, have a person's T17 forum identity be the deciding factor. A new board could be created for a week after the ranks are back up, to let people confirm their identity theft.

It's not a massively large problem, but it would be preferable to have your original username rather than having to change it, or attaching some nonsense numbers/characters and then having to say "Kheldar42 is the real me, honest! Not the guy with the username Kheldar."

I'd appreciate everyone's input, T17 staff in particular, as they are the only ones who can actually implement anything to halt username theft.

[NightFlash]

nice idea ;-) but i will be first to register :p so i don't care :p

[WormLord]

Great idea I hope t17 follow this through. I would hate to see specc opps take my name or anyone elses and just ruin that personas rep

[Spadge]

It's a difficult problem faced by a lot of people, we'll see what we can do about it. The IP "registration" doesn't make sense since most are dynamic and allocated when people go online, very few people have "static" I.P. addresses that never change.

That's not what I was suggesting at all, Spadge. Although you're right, the 1 u/n per IP would be only a minor hindrance to those with dynamically allocated IPs, plus with proxy servers, etc.

I recently thought of another idea though, what about pre-registration through the T17 forums? The only people who need fear their usernames stolen and impostored are those who are semi-longterm members of the community, and with over 3700 people registered, I'd feel fairly confident in saying that anyone who would care about getting their name impostored would be registered here. So perhaps a week or so before opening the leagues you could have everyone who wanted to pre-register their T17 forum name for Wormnet post in a forum, or somesuch.

[Spadge]

I'll talk to Lion&Cowlibob and others about doing that, I think we could probably announce a pre-registration or something.

We can't do it manually, but what we WILL do is this.

[Strategist]

Wasn't there a plan at some point to give users a week to "reclaim" their username, and after that assume they'd left the community and let someone else register that name? Why have you decided against that method in favour of this one, is it due to differences/incompatability in the new & old databases?
(a link to an old topic would be useful if this has already been mentioned, in that case sorry for making you repeat yourselves)

[raven272]

I'm going to need my username to be raven though, I tried to register as raven, `ravem, -raven, :raven:, blah blah and it wouldn't let me, how many damn raven's are there? I know im probably the oldest one..

Me too then! I think they user data is lost, or it were something about everything beeing re-written.?

[NightFlash]

why cant you just use the old user data? That would save a lot of hassle

because maybe 95% of the players with ranks there already quit worms and for the 5% of players you can say this : if you did it once why can't you do it then twice IT's hard work but you play it for fun he?

I can't imagine anyone would want to imposter me, but you can never be sure.

edit: oops, I guess I didn't need to register with this nick now I read the post telling us what to do properly. Oh well, done it now...

I didnt mean ranks i just meant log in details

[Spadge]

.. I hope to have this discussion with Cleanair when he gets in touch, I don't see why we couldn't do that... I guess it depends how much of a hassle it would be, I imagine a lot of people have forgotten passwords and such.

[wizard69]

You see, I have a bit of a problem. My old account goes under the name 'wizard' (in this forum). When I tried to sign in, it told me my password was wrong. I checked the member list and there's no wizard listed. I tried registering it, and it said it was already registered. So eventually I clicked on 'Forgotten your password?' I put in my old email address, and it said ok.
So I go over to hotmail to check, and they've deleted my account and have started charging for new accounts.

If one of you admins would be so kind as to explain why I can't register/find my name in the member list, i'd be very happy. Thanks.

hello. :rolleyes:

[Nutter]

Lion,

It may be easier to post an announcement on the announcements forum, rather than trying to Email 80-odd people... compiling the list of Email's is going to be a pain.

But, of course, upto you :).

[HHC]

it can't be too hard to make a sign up system with a max of 1 account registration a day. E'mailing a link to the sign page seems unfair and useless to me. The 80 people who signed up in this thread will give the link to everyone on their aim/icq/msn list and before you know it 300 people will sign up during that day. These people will also register as many accounts as possible (i've yet to think of a person who only registered 1 account on wormnet long ago). So the next day when the official sign up takes place at least 500 names will allready be taken by a 'small' number of people, leaving the people not so well-known and up to date in the worms community without a fair chance to get a username like 'Goku' (dbz is popular :(). I wouldn't be too unhappy with a somewhat different username, people will soon enough know who is the real one. bye.

We're currently looking to see if there's a way in which we can give old users an opportunity to "reactivate" their old username with their password. No promises, just that we're back in touch with Cleanair and we'll see what we can do - the whole system, server and database has completely changed, but we might be able to sort something out.

If you get your user from the old database, it would be user and pass only - the ranking system is completely different and wouldn't be compatible.

Couldn't someone just post "me!" here and register with someone elses name a day early? I'm not sure how this will work exactly.

For example, I could use that link, and use someone else's name that doesn't get the link.

Edit: But I want to use my original name, "pinkdevil"

It doesn't sound gay does it?

You know worms are pink, and I'm a worm devil...

[Paul.Power]

Oh, how I wish I had WA so I could shout "me" as well. As it is, I'll have to wait until T17 get round to doing WWP.

Please look into getting ranks onto WWP once the WA job is finished. You don't know how much it would mean to me to go on Wormnet 2 and find someone who isn't either incompetent or a rope fanatic.

[M3ntal]

ME! I'm glad i saw this thread.

i wasn't around when the ranks were last up, how did people handle clan tags? did they just re-register under a different name, ie, their old name but with a tag on it? I reckon it would be a good idea to have a seperate clan tag box.

It took me forever to read all the replies.... and I still recongise some people that replied to this thread that I havent seen in ages in wormnet.

Somehow, I don't think much could be done if someone *did take* your orginal nickname on wormnet before you had the chance to sign up again.

I know I wouldn't feel happy if I found my nickname was taken thats for sure...

[Paul.Power]

Seen as it's now probable that for Ranks purposes, WWP users will be able to use Wormnet 1... Me!

They started a new name.
I think it is a good idea to start from scratch, because it shows your loyalty, especially if you get the rank up.

<h3>Great job again, Team17 sirs.
I'd like to say "me!", but since I can't register with my WN-name (LunaticAngel, but in this registration form I only have 10 letters...so I only came to LunaticAng).
Why can't I register with 12 letters when SargeMcCluck (hiya mate!) can have 12?

Save the name <i><h2>LunaticAngel</h2></i> for me please. Thx.

He was trying to say that the T17 forum is the be-all and end-all of the worms community.I was not trying to say that! Of course I understand that this forum does included everyone in the Worms community.

As I have already said, I make the silly mistake of presuming that if they don't use this forum, then they wouldn't view or even post in this thread.It's been linked to on many different forums.I didn't know that, you see.

Indeed.

Hence why many people signed up just to post here and then have not posted again since.
