For some time now, on vassal40k, a guy has been running around with an invisible nick.
He will still show up in the room count(sometimes you see a game room with 1 person in it, but when you expand the name list of that game room, no names appear at all), but his nick is COMPLETELY invisible, does not appear in the name list AT ALL, cannot be seen, cannot be selected. If he types anything, the chat window will show < > [insert chat text here]. He uses the invisible nick to go into game rooms un-noticed and then kills everything on the board, spams terrain, etc, etc, and he cannot be kicekd.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Yes, simple fix for next release of Vassal. Should have let us know earlier. I will make players with no nickname display as (Anonymous).

This is fixed in 3.1.10-svn5945, which you can get here:

Give this a try and let us know if this solves the problem.

Please show me a screenshot of the server status window showing this happening.

Kinda hard to do when wacky, the guy using the invisible nick running around ruining games, is not available on call to test this.
He still had a invisible nick earlier, but i forgot to take a screenshot.
On the other hand, i just tested it and leaving the name space blank would give me the anonmyous nick…but…
If you put a space in it you will end up with an (almost) invisible nick.
But thats not how wacky does it, putting a space would leave you selectable and people can still see you in the player list. His invisible nick is completely unselectable.
What version of Vassal are you using?

I was using 3.1.10. How did you re-produce it?
Hi Joel,
swampwallaby-3.1@5984 has the i18n of Anonymous and also fixes the invisible nick problem properly. My last fix did not work in all cases.
