What it would look like if CnCNet had badges and clans

The YR Icon before player names shows that they are in YR, as you can change channel to CnCNet General and see icons from other games and mods in-front of player names, so we can't just go and remove it as it's useful.

You'd end up with game specific icon, ladder badge, friend/blocked icon in-front of a name.

Maybe should be YR icon next to badges?

Here's the Xwis lobby back in the day:

 

Notice only 26 players in lobby, yet it looks very active and colorful. Each guy with his rank, badge, and clan was bringing something to the table.

The backdrop image is also a bit darker on CnCNet. Would be nice to brighten it up a bit.

Another thing that would help tremendously for the cnc client would be the option to organize players by various categories. For example, alphabetical-order and friends list.

Would it not be possible to do badges and stat ranks on the CnCNet lobby? if say, you tie a specific nickname with an IP address or password? If that player uses that same nick and IP to win matches in the ladder then everytime they log onto the regular CnCNet client it will verify its the same person and assign whatever badge he mightve earned before? The client could somehow cross check data from the current months ladder which would keep track of the players current win-loss ratio and even be able to do lobby commands like !stats aCnCNetProz 8-2 rank #52 or whatever.

Maybe just do longer character length for nicknames for more variety and less of a problem of nicknames being taken, and also if someone uses a specific nick to rank up in the ladder and then earns badges on that nickname, every time they log on the badge itself will show that player with maybe a 3-star badge and prove it's the real aCnCNetProz or whoever. Whereas anyone else could still randomly log onto that nickname but without the proper ip or password it wouldn't give them the ranked badges proving it's a potential fake impersonator.

The badge itself could be a way to prove it's the real person. Fakes wont rank up for nicknames they arnt committed too. Also if you make it hard to earn certain badges then only real pros would have 3-star, 5-star, eagle badges etc.
