Maybe only by server admin, not sure if even that is possible though

No, there isn't.

I've seen this asked a number of times and I would like to see it added as well, as the gaming community I am part of require all of us to add the group's tags to our name which in-game can just make the text unnecessarily longer.

BTW, since voting still happens in browser, is Little Bobby Tables still an issue or it was fixed? I remember changing my name to NAME"' and seeing voting page became broken so no further voting were possible on that server anymore once I voted

I guess we will do that some time far in the future, but currently it would require a massive backend change, as its currently technically impossible.

I've not seen that issue since, but I am honestly not sure.

Couldn't you just cover a name up with a command like /nickname? It's used widely on other types of games and it doesn't change your name, but only visually changes it for you and other players.

Though being able to change your name, by using a law would be even better, just like real life.

That would likely not work out, as usernames are used as identifiers throughout the whole game, that would not only be confusing to users but probably even more effort to get it to work.

You could make it so that you choose a username in the character creator? Then it would still be used as an identifyer and people wouldent be able to change however they want. Or even better, an admin command.

Just as an FYI, I stopped hosting Eco servers because things like this make being an admin a real PITA. All the QoL seems to go to the players and none to the admins. That, and you can't run two separate Eco servers on two separate boxes if they are on the same subnet.

We have tons of admin commands, recently even introduced experimental admin uis. (Civics.eco - must set a config value to true, to not overwhelm singleplayers) It's just wrong we wouldn't care about admins, given I personally have admin tools introduced all the time for our official servers that everyone profits from. A very nice one is /edit - allows you to list and edit basically any data. (Attention: Any edits you make are implemented IMMEDIATELY - without pressing apply / confirm!)

The user name is core identifier that can be changed via /object edit, but that may fail the save, so do on your own risk. You must do a restart for it to take effect and any related objects will not be renamed (like the personal bank account). We do plan to introduce a separate identifier in a future update and the ability to set your name for each server, but currently it's not possible.

We have ran the configuration you have mentioned to not be possible for our official servers, by the way. Works fine. You should make a bug report if you have a confirmed, reproducable issue with steps. Only then we can address the problem. It was never reported and as I said, we ran that configuration ourselves.

can i delete my profile from a server so that i can rejoin with a new name that is able to be tagged?

if not, can the server admins do it?

No, that is not possible.
