I guess you just need to run the game at a higher resolution if this becomes an issue.
Ah, this. Yeah I can see that being problematic and higher screen resolution is the only fix I can think of that wouldn't include more mod work to change the layout of the scoreboard.

I will put up a new version of the portal that I got from Novice now - we're now at version 9.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
Caledorn/novice/etc., can you hardcode Holy Roman Empire as Holy Rome for display purposes, or add a character or two to that portion of the display so it doesn't wrap?

We aim to please. I felt bad if my name covered up half of a player's screen when it is totally preventable. Also, the second line on the tracker annoyed me. If only we could do something about that pesky HRE line.

It should actually be pretty easy to simply tighten up the vertical spacing on the scoreboard. I poked around that area of Python coding back for one of the SP events with a mod. And this would not require another restart, the new .py file can be overlaid in place on the Pitboss host and each player's computer. I'll take a shot today.

T-Hawk, is this possible just for .py files, or can the .dll be updated like this as well?

If this is true ... then can we edit the info py file to exclude the lurker civ from the opponents information. That way, we will get a true 'best' and 'average' instead of a distorted one.
Let me take a quick look at the python involved.

Attached for the info screen, demographics tab only.
I am also attached a 'compare' file that compares the original with the changed version so that someone can review the changes.
I tested it in a SP game and Civ #16 (counting from 0) is excluded from best, worst and average. I didn't try and exclude them from the rank as that might be a little difficult. I will however try to think about how to do that.
I tried to fire it up in the pitboss game and it crashed my civ4 session. I think I saw a 'different asset' warning before the crash. That is good news.
Q: Is the lurker civ #16 (counting from 0)?
