MOD PlayerName Explained
By Joe | May 24, 2010
I’ve gotten a few emails / comments about people seeing “MOD PlayerName” in the player lists on my page, and asking what it means.
This comes directly from Pitboss itself. PlayYourTurn doesn’t add or remove anything from the player name in any way.
Basically, this means that the player is logging in with different game files from the Pitboss server. For example, they may have edited some of their LUA code to change the interface, or they might have edited some Python scripts somewhere, or they might be using an unsupported language translation they hacked together themselves.
This can be completely innocent, or intentionally malicious / exploitive. It’s up to the players to know who they’re playing with, and trust them.
I will not be hiding or otherwise doing anything with this information. It’s on the Pitboss screen, so it’s on the website. Players have a right to know.

That’s a good choice. There’s no reason to hide this information.
