Your player profile

Every player CerebRUST has seen gets a public profile page, reachable from the Players directory or from any player’s name in the dashboard.

  • Your current display name, avatar and Steam ID, with a link out to your Steam profile
  • Whether you are online right now — on a server that is up and reporting to CerebRUST
  • When you were first and last seen
  • How many sessions you have played, and across how many servers
  • A per-server history of where you have played
  • Gameplay stats — kills, deaths, K/D, playtime, your longest shot and your most-used weapon, plus where you placed on each server’s current wipe
  • Name history — the display names you have used over time
  • Steam’s own ban flags: VAC, game and community bans

The stats come from each server’s leaderboard, compiled hourly. Only servers that show player names to everyone are counted. If an owner shows names only to signed-in visitors, to players of this wipe or to nobody, nothing from that server appears on your public profile — the profile is not a way around their setting.

You are told when that happens: the section ends with a line saying how many of your servers keep player names private. It is a count, never a name.

Two things about the placements:

  • A rank always comes with the number of players it is out of. 3rd of 46 and 3rd of 4 are not the same thing, and we would rather say which one it is.
  • “Not compiled yet” is not last place. A wipe whose leaderboard has not been built yet has no rank at all, and says so.

If a server has never compiled a leaderboard — or you have not played on one with a public leaderboard — the whole section is simply absent rather than showing a row of dashes.

Because renaming yourself after behaving badly is the oldest trick in Rust, and server admins asked for it. Your Steam ID never changes; the name attached to it does. The history makes that visible.

If that is unwelcome, the honest answer is that it is working as intended — it exists precisely so that a name change does not reset your reputation on a server.

Your profile does not expose:

  • Your position, base locations or tool cupboards
  • Your chat messages
  • Your IP address
  • Your Discord account
  • Gameplay stats from a server that does not publish a public leaderboard (the fact that you played there is still shown in your server history — it is the kills, deaths, playtime and placements that are withheld)

Some of that is visible to the staff of a server you play on, through their admin dashboard — see What is CerebRUST? for who sees what. None of it is on your public profile.

Not on this public page — find it on My Game (the account menu, top right), which only you can see about yourself.

CerebRUST’s worth-watching queue compares your play against the other players on one wipe. Your network signal is the same five measurements — headshot rate, hits per kill, very long range hits, sulfur per hour, time to first kill — compared against your play on other wipes too, so somebody unremarkable on one server and a genuine outlier on another stops looking unremarkable everywhere.

Two tiers, and you always see whichever applies:

  • Your servers’ own organisation — always on, no setting anywhere turns it off. One owner, their own telemetry about players on their own servers.
  • The wider CerebRUST network — only if your server’s organisation and at least two others have all opted in to sharing (an owner-only setting, off by default). Even then it never names a server or an organisation — only counts.

It is arithmetic, not an accusation. There is no verdict, no threshold, no flag and no notification anywhere behind it — the same rule the worth-watching queue keeps. Every number comes with the count of hits, kills or hours it was measured over, so you can judge the evidence yourself.

If it looks wrong, message an admin on any server you actually play on. They can mark you Reviewed — fine, and that server’s wipes stop contributing to your card everywhere, on every server, immediately — not just on the one you asked.

Anything older than 60 days drops off the card by itself.

The VAC, game and community ban indicators come from Steam, not from CerebRUST, and are shown as Steam reports them. They are not a judgement made by any server, and nothing about a CerebRUST-managed ban appears there — that is per-server and lives in that server’s own ban list.
