Dear Rust Community,
I hope you’re enjoying your time on our UK Rust server. As you may have noticed, I have recently implemented a new requirement: all players must have their Steam profiles set to public in order to join. I wanted to take a moment to explain the rationale behind this change and how it will benefit the overall gaming experience.
Increased Player Base and Investigation Needs
With the recent surge in our player base, there has been a corresponding increase in player reports and support requests. As the server administrator, I am committed to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment for everyone. However, my ability to investigate and resolve issues has been hampered by the lack of accessible information from private Steam profiles.
Enhanced Decision-Making and Support
When player profiles are public, I can gather valuable information that aids me in making informed decisions. This includes evaluating player histories, detecting patterns of behavior, and identifying potential issues more efficiently. Public profiles provide us with the transparency needed to offer better support and ensure the integrity of the server.
Addressing Cheating and Exploits
One of the unfortunate realities of online gaming is the presence of cheaters who create new, private accounts to evade bans. By requiring public Steam profiles, we can more effectively identify and address these bad actors. This change helps us maintain a level playing field and ensures that legitimate players can enjoy their gaming experience without interference from those who seek to exploit the system.
Understanding Privacy Concerns
We fully understand that some players prefer to keep their profiles private for various reasons. While this change may be inconvenient for some, it is a necessary step to enhance the overall health of the server. We hope that players will appreciate our efforts to create a safer and more transparent gaming environment.
Conclusion
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement this change. Our goal is to foster a community where fairness and enjoyment are paramount. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to to me.
Thank you for your continued support and happy gaming!
