Description

apparently there is a way to get the GUID of any player on the server (with hacks)

I don't know if you can do it only in your network bubble or how the playerlist works and if it'd be possible through that, but on the same thread they did mention disabling the bubble so that the server sends you info for the whole map.

What they would do is find out the GUID of the streamer and then just join servers until they find them and then do whatever.

Additional Information

Why do I need to be able to get another person's GUID? If it is required for future hacker reporting or kicking/banning by playeradmins and the name isn't reliable enough for keeping track of who is who at any given time, then why can't the server just generate a sort of session ID that it ties to the GUID? It could send it to other players if needed and keep the GUID secret. The ID could be generated from a hash of PlayerGUID+SomethingSecret+SomethingThatChanges(like server join time) or something like that.
