    As we all know, many players use special symbols at the front and back of their boat name, use the TM (trademark) symbol <--(funny...that can't be trademarked by the way), and use a large bag containing an assortment of other tricks which cause the Spy to malfunction.
    Simple Solution: Put the 30-day limit on changing a boat name on hold for a short period of time, and require all players on all Servers on their next log-in to rename their boat properly. It is frustrating to have to use the ID all of the time to spy someone because this simple fix has not been implemented!

    hmm. I like names which are based on real boat names. Such as LustySerpant or DirtyDancer! these are actual boat names. I recall one name which was Edit that was a great name. But all these silly symbols and trademarks are just plain dumb and un-imagenative! nice pic minigravey. ;->

    It's actually simple to fix, dependent on which server you play just limit the alphabet letters to use and numbers, special characters and symbols would be eliminated. If a player tries to use his own alphabet such as Arabic on an English server, the program would reject it until the player input the correct characters.

    What is an english server to you? there are arabs and turks in mega america and probably they are in enlgand server too. Why cant they use their alphabets?

    because we have to keep things simple for the majority to understand ... its as basic as that.

    it's not the different alphabets that are the issue, it's the ctrl-font symbols that cause issues with the spy. I believe that is what they are speaking about.

    It's just a simple program limiting the players to use the standard keyboard characters, for example the English language characters (qwerty) and so on would be the only authorized alphabet (in English) and for players who use other than English keyboards they would be limited to their own server or the program would translate that name or names into English. Using other than the authorized format would be rejected.
