change the name of the character in Ps_GameData.dbo.Chars ans simply set a [ADM] [GM] [GS] or whatever you want in front of the charactername.
That has to be done for every character on the GM account you want to give a tag.
CharID is Unique so it is better to use CharID.
Let anyone named the same with a point at the End or an I instead of a L.
However, it can be corrected so, well.
If you're too lazy to search for the CharID use the CharName.
is about 50 players or more can happen that you do not know well charid but only by changing the old name, if you do not know you should enter the ID database to check if you know the name we do not need anything, just change the script putting the old name and the new one, it may happen that the old man is wrong, but it has never been used will give an error, if you are wrong ID we are going to completely change the name of someone who did not want to

it is better to not make any mistakes if your running a private server.
Mistakes like that makes you look stupid from the point of view of the players^^. So it is atleast in my eyes ( as i said everyone might prefear something different) a better way since you make sure your doing the right thing to the player
Teddy, tell me when was the last time you remembered all CharIDs on your server so you can smoothly write update queries. It's not that he uses his brain, it's that he's supporting your point of view. Now, if we have to develop the idea, let's make something like:
Code:
UPDATE PS_GameData.dbo.Chars
SET CharName = 'new charname'
WHERE CharName = 'name' AND Family = x and Job = y AND whatever other filter conditions to make sure you pick the right one.
Imo you all shared your opinions & showed him few different ways he could use.
I don't think one is better or worse, it's just what way you prefear & how difficult the charname is in fact.
I don't think you need to go deeper into the "my way is better" "you say this because he say that" disscussion since 1. his question got answered & 2. you already poke each other more than enough
