I found this out today. Maybe you all know this already but here it is.
You see a player named >|Brittany|< on a server

Copy and paste the name into http://c2stats.com/ and search
When the search completes you will see a green check mark before the name but you will not be able see the Stats

Refresh your browser and then a second name appears below the original name as shown http://c2stats.com/any/players/find_%3E|Brittany|%3C

Note: Since I already did the search it shows your 1st search with the final results already.

Now this player name was only used as an example. Please do not take this a any kind of accusation.
I don't think it will work on all names but it did work on this one

:O, thanks.

sorry, but I don't follow

Did you copy and paste >|Brittany|< on the search bar at http://c2stats.com/ ?
Then follow the simple instruction

Yes, first it shows >|Brittany|< then it says that first player is found. But it's not working with some other nicks with html symbols...
