Can we make a rule that says ppl should make a name, and cant use player or speiler names? This will help non admins and admins ,to identify and differenciate players more easily. thanks

i mean ,, add it to ingame anouncement. "Players make a name please, press escape, options, profiles." or something similar
(some ppl dont know how).

I dont think it shd be overcomplicated, admins monitor names while online already. Any person can direct ppl with invalid names to change them and can point out the ingame announcement or rules.

By veiwing ips/hash we can keep track of who ppl are, the idea is to stop ppl from being anonoymus so easily.

eg
if someone complained about person breaking rules called "player_0" on last nite. i couldnt do much, but if it was "sunflower bear"! , if i see that name playing on the server in future, i would get a copy of his details covertly. You could also use this site and post his name "sunflower bear" in complaints. posting just a "player" name and what he did would be useless.

I disagree...you shouldnt just strip people of anonymity, it's a choice they make. Some of them, as previously mentioned, may just not know how to change their name and, after being kicked with no reason shown, may decide to never return thus losing a potential player.
People may also have reasons for anonymity...maybe they dont want to be known and are quite happy lurking in the shadows as "just another player", especially when they first start playing as without a unique name they cant be harassed or remembered for their inexperience and maybe over time they will gain the courage to create a name that is unique when they believe they have improved their skills.
I understand it makes it harder for admins if people stick with the default name as you can never be sure as to whether they are the same player from another time but this is just a challenge and one that can be overcome, perhaps by informing them when they join about how they should change their name and that it is recommended in order to build opinions of people as well as build friendships so they can be helped out if needed at a later point. The last thing you want to do is lose players before they have even joined, especially on an older game thats not easy to get hold of.
Perhaps you can even modify the server to change their name automatically if its that big a problem or automatically add a nummber to their name by remembering keyhashes, and im just speculating here as I have no idea about the possibilities for server modification on BFV but its got to be better than kicking them then having them join another server where they wont be kicked, right?

Really??
What about new players / those who reinstall the game / those who don't know how to make a name who try to enter the server? What will they think when they get auto kicked? It's sure to cause confusion and consternation, and I can see how it would keep traffic off the server when we need traffic. I.E. some player gets auto kicked, so he decides to play on Sebasjerk's "other HELLO Allmaps server" where there are less rules... hammer00

If you wish to make that rule, leave its enforcement up to admins. Otherwise, its driving people away from the server unnecessarily.
