Rust servers can run a censored playerlist,
All Offical Facepunch servers run Censored lists.
Meaning it generates random names for any players that connect.
yes but i dont show up
im not even on the leaderboard for playtime (i should be atleast bare minimum top 5)
I don't think your understanding.
You won't show up.
It's a censored list,
Your name is not your name
You could be on the server under the name "Gorge" Or "John" Or "Smith"
And every time you join it will give you a different name.
This is what is know as a CENSORED PLAYER LIST
This is set at server side.
i know that
but no account on the leaderboard matches my account
The leaderboard is based off the player list
Anytime you play on Official Rust/Facepunch servers,
Any website is not able to query for the players that are actually on the server.
Meaning the only data we are able to obtain is censored at server level.
You name will not appear anywhere on that server listing
i am aware of that
none of the censored names match my account server history
It won't,
Cause you get assigned a different name every time you join a censored server.
the id is the same no?
Them servers are "Name" Based only.
They will not give a SteamID match on the profile.
So 2000+ People could be named "John" on that 1 server.
You join another server you might get the name "steve"
that server could also assign that name to 2000+ people
No
The idea of a Censored playerlist is so people including players, can not track anyone across them servers.
when you click on the name
it would show the same servers joined by that account no?
No,
Its "NAME" only.
the account isn't YOUR account.
its an account that has the name "John" for example.
Now any player that joins a server and gets the name "John" will be assigned to 1 or multiple profiles.
& everytime you join, you get a new name, Meaning another profile.
oh i thought it just renamed the account in the list

No, It is named at server level,
The server hides the identifies.
why is it censored?
They chose to do it.
The owners of the servers Weather they are facepunch, or privately operated, have the option to turn censored playerlist on.
They do not even have to interact with battlemetrics,
It's a server setting
so battlemetrics is a pest?
that they dont want used on rust?
Battlemetrics is not the only site that keeps logs.
Their is hundreds of sites & private systems that do such.
RUST Dev's put it in as a request feature to try stop stream sniping/player tracking.
Its then server choice weather to use said option, or use the streamer mode option, or none.
i'd disagree
there is not hundreds of sites
hundreds of sites & private systems
Not just Sites,
That includes private systems.
People that directly query servers & create their own database.you said hundreds of sites
Hundreds of sites/private systems
That better
Anyway, Your enquiry is answered.
didnt have an enquiry
wanted to make fun of someone
Oh cool.
Cya then.
