[2019] Great! No event log player snitching! But... what about admin duties for private servers??

Those polls dont address my situation at all. Please read them again.

I emphatically disagree with the assessment that this poses an undue danger for players.

I would appreciate wholeheartedly if you would thoughtfully consider my sentiments and pass them along to any other decision-makers.

Players can decide not to play on servers with admins they don't trust, it happens all the time. But having all logs disabled without the ability to toggle them, or to let admins alone see them unavoidably and undeniably creates a situation where those paying to run servers for the love of your game are completely powerless to enforce the custom rules necessary to facilitate the viability of the content they create.

I understand fully that your first priority is in fine tuning the way that your official servers are running, but in doing so I do believe you've thrown a major wrench into the operation of your community's private server enthusiasts and have specifically invalidated over a thousand hours that my staff team have put into our server.

What? I didn't say that at all.

A toggle would be the perfect solution. If that weren't possible, I would settle for those with admin mode activated being able to see players names in the logs.

Edit. Really. Look at your previous comment where you quote me as as saying "please allow either a toggling of player names," a sentence which ended with "or allow admins to see who has done what"

One more edit: I know I'm coming off as aggravated, and that's because the last couple of days for me have been just as aggravating as I surmise yours have been. Running a Conan server isn't a job for me- its just a passion and a hobby- but I have a bunch of people counting on me to keep the place they love to play your game open for business. I just posted here because I wanted my concerns to be heard and I'm more than certain I'm not the only one that feels this way.

I'm glad to see that something will be done and I'm very appreciative of your conversation with me here. Aside from this one facet of the patch, I'm absolutely thrilled with what's been released and I know my players are too. I really want to convey with everything I've written here, that you do have a dedicated community of teams and individuals providing an alternate way to play your game, at their own cost which certainly (anecdotal, but I've observed it many times in the last handful of months on my server) translates to players getting back into the game, spreading the word, convincing friends to buy copies and purchasing dlc. All in the greater hopes of continued support and longevity of a game I used to love playing, but now love to help others have fun playing.

It is my sincerest hope that in the future, such changes (be they vociferously demanded by the mobs on the forums or not) preserve the abilities of admins to continue creating, maintaining and overseeing the places they passionately add to your product's community.
