I posted in Arma 3 section the other day regarding my account and scores not logging, I have just found out someone is using my nickname "DannyBoy" on Arma 3 servers, would this be stopping me logging scores? It says he is online and I am offline which is not true. Can you help with this please? I have put alot of time into this why should someone takeover halt my progress and start up with my name? What can I do to continue with my stats? Thanks

Having multiple names playing under the same nickname on the same server would simply increase the time/score beyond just your activity alone. We would not be able to split out the names between your score and their score.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Really? I think that is abit flawed as anyone can damage or increase your score, I have not noticed my score go higher when the other "DannyBoy" is online at the same time. People like to focus on rankings and how well they play in the game, it really should be your score only. Is there anything planned for the future where you can give nicknames only once and if it is taken you have to choose another on Gametracker? I think this would be a good idea, I'm not a fan of this current system, anyone can sabotage your record.

You'd have to contact the game developers. We don't have the ability to force the uniqueness of in-game names.
