Say for example name_XI_ADM. I can never remember who the admins are, and this is what we do for all other games.

PMSL. No I do play them cause I like XI members and others who play it. Though it gets too boring when that full, spawn, die, spawn, die, etc. lol. On a serious note I think guys should do it, as it also shows some authority in the servers, and 9 times out of 10 stops assholes from bitching and base r**ing. When I changed my name it took 30 seconds. Must be a problem with your wetware. You should wear your admin tags with pride.

Most of us are using the name: Name_XI and if you use the TAG system, when you press TAB you see and in front of the name, which makes it easyer to see: [ADM]Name_XI All Admin info is there : 1. ADM 2. Name 3. Clan name XI You can easy do that by the battle.net browser. Would great to let people know that you are an admin and to be listend to and how they get information about >XI<. Awards

Notify Me! - Notifications and alerts, ingame and in Procon As requested in the forum, this plugin is an extension/combination of other notification/alert plugins currently available. The plugin provides two new features to the players on your server: Listing admins currently playing: when using this command, the player gets a list of admins currently online on the server. In additions, the admins get notified that someone has requested this list. Calling an admin: every player can call for an admin. Depending on the plugin's settings, admins get notified ingame, in Procon and via mail. An optional reason for calling can be provided by the user.

I see hat Primal is logged in to x-fire as Primalfear>XI<BF3-ADM s- his name will not show up at the top of the x-fire listing with the other admins. What if you changed your x-fire login so that you have the Asterisk (*) in front so you are easier to get in touch with?? Would that be helpful? Just thinking out loud here..... Awards

Also tried X-ray's way yesterday ie ADM in front of name, you will find that it will still be there also when you join other servers unless you remove it all the time, i an guessing we will forget or will not be bothered to do this all the time, or we will remove it then forget to put it back when we play our servers again...i don't think we should be going in other clan servers wearing admin tags, is there any other way.

Tags have nothing to do with either the live or round balancer, doesn't matter what your tags are it won't effect how you get balanced. If the "keep clans live" option was on...it would place ALL XI members on the same team every round. So your safe to change it without effecting your game and squad. I'm confused, are we still debating this or agreeing with it? [ADM]Name_XI is perfect for me, has all the info needed and can be easily changed for those who anticipate a problem with other servers or competition play. GJ XRay, great idea I can't change my name through Origin, but that doesn't mean we can't go that route. Someone can call them for me and send me an xfire in 2hrs when their ready to change it, that's fine with me, I'm easy going that way
