[SUGGESTION] For the user's forum

Hi guys.
After reading treads like this:
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/acc-good-online-racers.55517/
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...there-is-a-wrecker-thread.55515/#post-1032325

I think could be good for us show in our forum's signature or image/avatar, our ACC Driver's profile.
I mean, i believe that could be an useful information for our community know and recognize a forum's member when he is in the same our server.
My Nickname here is GRFOCO but in acc i run with another name, my real name and noone know me as player (so noone know if i'm a good or bad driver, if i'm a gentleman or a wrecker, and so on...). I bet that i've run many races with many guys here on the forum without know who they are.

Why do this?

Simple.
If i run a race with other 29 unknown guys, i only can share some thought and some opinions in the game's chat at the end of the race... nothing more. But run the same race recognizing some forum's member can be useful for obvious reason while we are ingame, and also for come here and discuss / share / talk about our experiences, our mistakes, what has been good and what not.

So, in the end this can be just a little info, not for share our real/fake names (who cares?) but for recognize ourselves and hopefully improve the quality of our hobby.

I start to show here below, in my signature, my ACC name. If you think this can be useful for us, you can do the same.

Suggestions and other are always welcome.

 

Actually, I think that at some point all ACC user profiles should be made public through the official website. Maybe that would make some people behave, just out of pure embarrassment.

I can't imagine how many privacy laws worldwide that would break!

 

It would depend on what people agreed too. It could be a simple tick box, share or don't share.

In a way Racedepartment has already gone down this road by requiring real names to access their servers. It does create a better sense of community in that people aren't random, they have a name and you can find and talk to them after the race. But that is a restricted community, you have to pay to be part of it and play by the rules to stay active.

If people want to take part in leagues and such they will have to present some sort of traceable identity. I think for the most part my name is the same across most sim platforms. It's either my name, or some version of my nickname Turk (steam ID is revmeturk).

 

How many privacy laws does iRacing break?

Yes, obviously it's free and it's a personal own choice.

F.e. iracing do this from... ever. You can use you real name or just register as "Mr. Brown".

But, real or fake doesn't matter, the point is another:
Here on the forum we have a "XX" name.
In ACC we have a "YY" name.
For sure, someone right now is using the same name, but almost 99% use different name. It's possible that many times we play together without know, and for a community this is a little bit a shame.

The point is link, or at least recognize user's forum to user's game.

That's all.

 

Well, instead of writing the names here, and try to remember them, wouldn't it be easier to write some kind of tag, or code, in front of our names in ACC?

for example [ACF] "OUR NAME", or ACF-"OUR NAME"

ACF= Assetto Corsa Forum

So each time we see someone with that tag in front we know he is from the forum. it is true that anyone can copy it anytime.

 

I always use the same Nick when Racing or using the sims forum. In all Sims it's the same. It's a short version of my real name that I do use in League racing.

I do that because I have nothing to hide and I want to be recognised as the one I am. Even if I do mistakes, i want to be responsible for that.

It's like real racing for me and I stand for what I am doing.

Regards

Sorry for my bad English by the way.

 

If there is some sort of profile in the game we may be able to link to it from here and display some stats.
