I don't know about anything about donny specifically, but as for clan tags in general ... Back in the day where all the TX and SC guys used their clan tags, I'd say it was maybe 50/50 whether or not they had their official ladder account set up with the clan tag or not. Not a huge deal ... for example ... [TX]longhorn or longhorn, it was all the same to me, everyone knew the deal . true mook, it's no big deal for me either ... but it starts to be one if this person uses the different ladder account to avoid reporting - and even more if the person is new to ladder gaming, i won't have any doubt if nero would use his ladder name w/o [GC] tag in gs lobby coz he's well known to be highly trustable ;D

All this is true but all I know is that it can be very annoying reporting to someone without the exact same name. I report to them anyway but feel that it should not be held against someone who chooses not to report to someone without exact ladder account match to game name. I mean how hard is it to have a perfect match, not causing people to first type in what they think it is, then type in clan tag, then type clan tag with symbols around it to finally get the correct ladder name sometimes. Add on top of the some ridiculous spelling or symbols in the name... ah forget it.

Actually according to the rules you shound't report if ladder name isn't exactly, per-symbol the same as gamespy name.

Why is he at 100 streak when there is a screen shot of him being out scored? Because Angel did not beat Donny, but [DBC]donny and thus it was not a ladder game as that name is not on the ladder. Got to check those names and be ruthless if people trying to pull this stunt.

If even one player hasn't the correct name, it is not a ladder game...no reports should be forthcoming.

So, I broke the rules by reporting to donny. I'm sorry. Please don't put me in the box.
Are some honestly saying that a non-report against him will not be valid due to the fact the name is not the same? Now that's an interesting loophole. Maybe I'll put an extra "S" on the end of my ladder name and go for a 100 streak.

It's not a loophole, if you let a player in a game and his name is not on the ladder exactly as spelled, then he's not a ladder player and you shouldn't be playing him. And no, I void any and all non-reports that are filed because of imposters. We yelled long and hard at Firaxis to give us secure login's and now that we have them in Civ4 I'm dam sure that I'm going to inforce there use. CS

This Donny chap is not following the rules by playing under another name and for some reason people have been reporting to him. I'd e-mail him to tell him this won't do and reset his stats for being a cheeky bugger. Plus, I'd put Necro in the box.

If people want to report to a player with a similar name, that is not breaking the rules...it's just silly. What you are stating is the converse, and it is not necesarilty true. I only rule on *filed* non-reports, if Dommy was to file a non-report against someone, I'd certainly quickly point out the ladder rule concerning names. But I'm not going to go around looking for fools giving away free reports, I spend enough of my free time policing rather than playing as it is The rules are clear and I've been stating them since Day 1 that this ladder opened for business, if hosts and players can't understand them and enforce them then I guess they like giving away reports.......

as per the rules, to play in a ladder game, their name must be EXACTLY as it is on the ladder.
if it's not - they should not be allowed to play in the game - thus ending the controversy of reporting to someone who's not on the ladder.
if players allow someone who's name is not on the ladder exactly as spelled, the entire game should be scrapped as that player will invariably have some effect on the outcome of the game.
There are no provisions to do anything else.
being able to play other members of a "league" with all following the same rules is the basic premise of the ladder.
