Would you turn off civ group icons and flags? - Page 2

The problem isnt all the icons, its the server...........

I know most posts with the Aussie flag are Skanky's, most with the Canadian are obiwan

Seeing as one good deed deserves another, I have started to associate the Kiwi flag with Frozzy.

Yes, scientific research has shown the image memory works better than word memory for recognition

The Civ group icons are actually a usefull link to a list of all the people in that Civ group. I use it all the time, as it shows who's online with the little "light bulb" icons. Very useful for demogames etc.

And I'm using peoples "location fields" to identify them at the moment.

Actually, come to think of it, sometimes seeing the civgroup icons helps if you want to read the PTWDG public forum and all it's flame fests cause it's easier to tell who's on what team. But if you read long enough, it's not usually a problem knowing who's on what team.

I use avatars to find my (or other's ) posts quickly.

But with those out I use the flags. I have the Iraqi flag (since they are part of the U.S. now

), and not too many people have that flag. So I can find my posts quickly.

So I would like one or the other. The civ icons aren't terribly important.

Richelieu · August 15, 2003, 09:08

I'd turn both the flags and the civ icons off.

Jamski · August 15, 2003, 11:22

We could loose the flag I suppose, but an option to turn them off would be better for keeping everyone happy.

That is exactly what I am suggesting, some people seem to think I am suggesting they be turned off for everyone.

Snowflake · August 15, 2003, 12:49

I'd be happy to turn the civ icons off. Although I don't have many for a start.

Panag · August 15, 2003, 16:08

hi ,

well since the site owners dont take back something they have given and we can see ones more all the options again , .......

there is no more need to vote

no poly doomsday

have a nice weekend

FlameFlash · August 23, 2003, 15:06

I like 'em all... really miss the avatars, but as somebody mentioned, both of these are the next best thing.

I mean, each civgroup icon isn't in the same order for everybody, they're in the order that you joined. So just think of the possible combinations!

Verto · August 23, 2003, 19:18

Well, I'd rather have avatars than civ group icons and flags.

mrmitchell · August 23, 2003, 20:26

I'd turn off the moderators.

Spiffor · August 23, 2003, 22:30

Being mostly an OTer, I like the flags, because nationality has to do with an individual's opinion.
I could do without the civgroup icons, but I prefer them on. It's good to see someone's on-topic background

Terrible idea!

I use my civgroup icons to recognize my name. Several of them are wrong now, but they were correct at a point in time, and I never removed them.

They actually take up almost no bandwith, because of the browser cache.

TCO · August 24, 2003, 17:15

I would turn off civgroup icons. And statistics for sure. Are those still running in the background? Flags maybe turn off.

And the poll is soooooooo poorly done.

Panag branches out?

Since Ming closed the spam thread before I could reply to you, I don't know if Ming cares that much about those who complain about his moderation. I just thought Ming would like to have one person come on his side.

DrSpike · August 25, 2003, 06:32

Well we just had a very lengthy Ming appreciation thread, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Wow, Panag must really like GP.

I was going to comment on that.

Perhaps I should be like everyone else and post before reading all of a thread?

That's right panag. Let him have it.

Asmodean (who definately does not like GP)

DrSpike · August 25, 2003, 11:01

Bad blood?

I said Panag likes him because he wished him a nice week instead of his usual nice day.

Maybe we should just put eachother on ignore. This is getting tiresome. But I refuse to stoop to your level. No namecalling.
