empty name [edited]

I just discovered a bug. When i am spectating and and change my name to blank(with command name "") i am not on the playerlist :) Its ok when i start to play, game change my name to Player. During the game(not spectating) its not possible to name myself as "", game will always change my nick to Player. Its not a big thing, but if its possible with name command it can be possible with other and maybe then it can be dangerous for game/server...
---EDITED---
When name is empty"", and i will play campaign, create server or just playing online and during game I press ESC and click on Options or Create then will appear Window(Player setup): Enter player name first. Of course in menu i can change name, but there is Player typed there(by default, but its only there, imho its not 'connected' with variable), so i have to change text Player, even by placing space and click APPLY. I hope it wont happen after Your changes in code, but i just wanted to tell :)

IIRC it used to be that anyone who set there name to blank would not show. Obviously the workaround only works for players, not spectators.

I think this is more serious than it may sound as team shooting prepubescents might find out (although that one on RBI last night only seems to understand swearing in capitals) and use it as a way to stop people from looking up their name on the scoreboard and voting for a kick.

Obviously another bug that slipped in when spectator support was added ;)
Anyway, i moved the detection for empty nicknames somewhere else, so it works for players, spectators & observers now...
Thanks for reporting.
