How do gametracker handle duplicate player nicknames?

What if a player use others' nicks in-game? I was wondering if GT only read the nick or use GUID or something to identify players.. COD4 in particular.

How does the identification work?

The names would save to the same history record.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Thank you for the information. I'd also like to know,
• how long will it take a server to be deleted after it was seen dead
• when clicking on scan parameters in the manage section does GameTracker uses ip or the dns to check if the server is up and running?

It would be great if it uses dns to resolve the ip when scanning a dead server.

It is variable depending on how long the server has been on the site. If it was only added recently, it may be days, if it has been on longer, it will be weeks.

All servers are scanned by IP.
