Show only ID#s instead of names on offspring lists

This might just be a personal preference, but I think ID numbers look much tidier on offspring lists than a series of names. Especially considering "names" can be a lot of things on Lorwolf. An example:


So I wanted to float the suggestion to remove names completely from the lists, and only display them as ID numbers. I think this also solves a few other issues. No worrying about No Name pups, no worrying about names you don't like, no worrying about names cutting off weird, etc. It just removes a lot of the risk of people harassing each other over names in general. If the list only showed ID numbers, then people could name their wolves any silly thing they want without concern they're making someone mad for 'ruining' their offspring list.

(and I really just think the alignment of slowly increasing numbers looks so much better than names lol)

Future updates could potentially add things like nicknaming offspring for your view only, or hiding released wolves, or other tweaks, but I think ID only might be a good default that can be applied right now with minimal effort.

I think a hide/unhide feature could def be useful and something each user can toggle off and on

Ehh personally a long list of numbers will be really hard for me to read. I'd rather us have only names and not ID numbers, but in an ideal world, all these are options in settings that can be changed for personal viewing.

I'd definitely support it as an option. It'd be nice to have maybe... four options? Or three if four is too much.

1. #1234
2. Name #1234
3. #1234 Name
4. Name

Those should be pretty self-explanatory and show what I was thinking. The number first then name one is the one I'd personally exclude if they don't want to do all four, but having options for just numbers or just names would help a lot of people, I think. Numbers for tidy organization and so you don't see nicknames, just names for people who's eyes glaze over at the numbers (or who just don't enjoy the look of it). And then of course the default.

I actually prefer being able to see the name of the offspring, that's why I name them. I think removing the ID number would be the way to go, or making it into a vertical list instead of a grid. ID first would also be cleaner.

I’d much prefer to see the names only and no #s.

Just to clarify, while I understand that some people prefer the look of names, my reasoning for specifically suggesting this as a default and not as an optional toggle is to solve the name harassment issue. Even excluding active harassment, I've seen people who want to sell or stud, but are afraid to because they don't want to take the risk of a bad name showing up on their list.

If you're a person who likes the look of names, and showing names is a toggle, then the problem still exists. You still have bad names on the version of the list you want to see.

If ID is the default and there is no toggle, then the bad name issue is moot. I would personally much rather see this, and then pair it with the option to nickname pups on your list. That way people who like the look of names instead of numbers can have them, but what someone else names the pups doesn't matter at all.

That's all! Just wanted to clarify. Please carry on discussion and sharing of opinions <3
