Name linked to IP
a player i met had this idea that your name can only link to your IP, so that nobody can fake you.
i thought its a good idea and it would replace the non existant account system. what do you guys think?
is it possible?

Re: Name linked to IP
I think its probably not possible.
First off, IP addresses are generally dynamically allocated by your ISP - at least in Germany. As such, it is not possible to identify all users by their IP address. The closest thing you could get is using IP ranges, for instance you could assign users the ip range of the country they live in or the ISP they use, but thats not perfect either.
Personally, I'd prefer how its done in Racesow (a racing mod for Warsow, much like what DDRace is to Teeworlds). In Racesow you create an account and login using a console command (i.e. auth username password). If you don't auth and have the same name as a registered user, the server kicks you. It would be possible to implement a similiar system in Teeworlds without excluding non-DDNet Teeworlds clients.
The main issue with both approaches, in my opinion, is that names are not protected right now. I don't see a perfect way to make sure everyone keeps their points. What if someone impersonates another player and takes over their name?

No Need for big texts here
Its not possible because your IP Adress changes every day. Also would it be annoying when you want to change positions in Team but cant change nicknames
