Suggestion: Change scoreboard so you can see the Steam PFP next to character icon, or at the very least show Steam username when you hover your mouse over a character. However it was before the hiddening.
Why it would be worth adding: It was removed for weird parasocial reasons ages ago that never made much sense to me, but my main argument is this; both rebel and cop discords literally do this already. Everybody and their mother (hi mom) uses a Discord nickname formatted to display their actual username and character(s) played.
Necessary content: Re-enabling an old feature, unless it was literally removed from code, which would be a big oof.

It was mainly removed because people requested it - it encouraged them not to cut people out based on who they were OOC which was a big problem before then.

Give it to staff when flagged their staff characters so I don't have to /pgi someone, take their steam ID, run it through a steam ID finder to figure out who I'm actually dealing with or spectating.

Don't like this for regular players tho or when I'm RPing on a proper char, it does make a difference I'm happy to be oblivious to.

or staff treating someone differently because of who they are OOCly, for better or for worse

i'd rather staff be unaware and have to treat everyone as they would, unprompted

ik this is magic christmas land talk but if i couldn’t trust someone to be impartial based on who they’re dealing with, i wouldn’t want them to be staff

would rather take that course of action rather than hinder their ability to admin in the first place

staff just has to quickly press V and PGI someone it's not like they can't find who they are ooc in just a quick search. It just takes an extra 5 to 20 seconds without scoreboard.
