I was watching a replay yesterday when I spotted "TheWheelie" on one of the teams. Well, it sure looked like "TheWheelie" to me.
2000 rating.

"Has he had a string of really bad results, to bring him down to a 2000?" I thought to myself. He certainly didn't play like "TheWheelie" that I've seen on several Gyle casts and multiple Jagged Appliance streams.
Checked the name history. It was a totally different player altogether.

If I was TheProperWheelie, I'd be feeling irked at someone using my name, or such a close resemblance to my name.

So I can understand the reasoning behind limiting how often players can change their name. And how close a match they can have.

But then again if someone copied my name it wouldn't bother me as I'm an incompetent & infrequent player.

And then again, we can't have 1 rule for the well known player names and one for the lesser known players.

So I can see both sides of this.
One of those where I'm happy to shrug my shoulders and go with whatever the admins decide on this.

Thanks. Yes that work-around works.

Hopefully something that will get fully fixed with the next release of the FAF Client?

There is no error message. There's no option on the replay screen to provide a star rating nor a comment on the replay.
Also I'm not seeing any star ratings from other FAF users of recent replays.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Since the last update to the FAF Client I have been unable to rate replays.

I have checked with another player. He is unable to rate replays too.

So I'm guessing it's some global bug with the FAF Client.

It's no big deal as it doesn't hinder gameplay. However it is nice to bring attention to replays that others might like to watch and to give warning of replays that desync.
