..."multiple values"
The multiple valuse are the users changed usernames, if player.Name == x then

detects all previous usernames
Anyone agree?

I do, but there are old games and people who built up a long banlist and now it won't work because if they change names they can join.

Changing names isn't cheap, and storing by userID is not only not hard to update, but something you should have been doing anyway.

Wot have you been smoking?

player.Name is a string -- not a table of strings. It can't return old names.
