Show All Names

Postby tfiosforevah » Tue Mar 28, 2017 8:45 pm

I have noticed on a few trial reports when people are changing names in the name changing lobby, they aren't clear who they are supposed to be. So like lets say User X writes their name down as "1234" and then spams the lobby where names are chosen. They quickly change at the last minute to "ABC", and halts spamming immediately to make themselves look innocent. I know that if you hit the emphasize button, it will emphasize all of their original names, thus outing User X, but nowhere on the reports does it list all of the names used in the lobby. Basically, you have to go through all of the people on the list to figure out who 1234 was. Would it be possible for there to be some way to differentiate without having to click through all the emphasize buttons?

This is a good suggestion, as this can be very helpful sometimes, although those cases happen only rarely.

I found one that was an example: http://www.blankmediagames.com/Trial/viewReport.php?id=674469 -- a user by the name of Naru2oo8IsAutistic (sorry naru) named themselves M O O N M A N and spammed like a normal moonman troll would, and then changed their name later, (still spamming though). If he hadn't kept on spamming, it would be very hard to tell who was this M O O N M A N person without having to go through individually each user to figure out who they were originally.

This would also (like most improvements) require developer intervention.

Well, there is an easy way to figure who is the actual spammer. Limit the area of the chat to where the spam occurs, then slowly take all the people off the filter. Soon enough, you find the real spammer. I've had a number of cases come up like this. Just do that strategy to find the right person.
Hoping that you enjoy every game of Salem you have! Feel free to add me if you fancy a good old game or just want to have fun.
