changing the capital "i" and lower case "L" fonts for tracking

recently there has been an increase in the number of hackers and whatnot and they seem to be doing some new tactics on avoiding tracked
one of them is to use the capital "i" and lower case "L" in their names to avoid getting tracked
say an example name of iLiLiiiLLi or something (this is just an example)
there is no way in hell i can try out all the thousands of permutations to find this one
unless RNG gives me power to get it right on the first try but it would be more likely for me to +7 a perfect item in one go

so i would suggest either changing the fonts the game uses to allow the capital "i" to be more distinct from the lower case "L"
or to change the spacing between the letters like capitals have more margins on the left and right to allow better identification
or to disallow the capital "i" from the use in names

i know it might be a huge undertaking for the staff and community but it might be a small price to pay to stop these hackers from running rampant

edit 1:

thinking about it for awhile but is it possible to make mapowner invert only the capital "i" to show "i" and the lower case "L" to show "L"?
or making all the mapowner tracks all upper or all lower case only?

what do yall peeps from the community think? (poll added)

 

sounds great and btw i found a few hackers using some new tactics
gonna send up a report abuse shortly with a couple of videos and the details

 

bump for poll on how to make mapowner display better

 

Omg yes please, this would make things so much easier

 

I notice this was implemented in the most recent server check

 

and also, m and rn (Rn) looks the same in game

 

@rnuse

 

knowing that spaces are not allowed to be used for character names
is it possible to have names in mapowner track to be spelled with spaces between letters to counter these names?

unlike the i and L ambiguity, the v and w works in both the upper and lower cases so vv and w can be used to confuse tracking (though possible to check the small spaces in mapowner), and should be handled differently

gonna get an
a e s t h e t i c
look

 

actually if you look very closely, you can notice a slight difference, also vv and w have a small difference in game too. Its bad but it's not impossible like i's and l's
Edit: sorry i didn't read all the discussion. This change to ~mapowner is AMAZING, thank you so much!

 

ooft

 

Can u make it clickable so u can copy it?

 

btw i just found this featuring @hfrn

 

"new tactics" lul

I've seen these hackers use these igns for over a year XD

Glad to see a fix got implemented so quickly <3

 

rarely saw hackers until the lockdowns began

then again the L and i tactics were used back in the oldschool days to counter pq tracks lel
idk why the few hackers that i did catch before the lockdowns didn't use them

 

^ I've seen other servers do this. If we change the actual formatting of player names I will cry.
