Would you turn off civ group icons and flags? Get a bigger avatar today!

If there were control panel options for turning off the civgroup icons and the flags, would you turn them off?

I would turn of civ groups definitely and flags maybe.

I'd rather not turn anything off . . .

But of those I think I could ditch the civgroups.

I wouldn't turn them off simply because with avatars gone, the flags and civgroup icons are the easiest way to identify a person without actually reading their name

I would turn off civ-group icons way before flags, assuming that either would help around the same amount.

Flags are one of my major ways of telling who posted what without avatars.

Civgroups are like medals on a Generals dress uniform.
They look pretty but don't provide much real information. And some people have gone overboard.

Drop the civ groups; who really needs them anyways? But if they're dropped, how much bandwidth would really be saved?

Icons are pointless. Flags less so, but not neccessary. However, I'd like to be able to vote this, and not just on one part of my opinion!

Probably turn civgroups off. No real purpose, and I know who plays which games anyway.

Flags, no way, they're too much of an entertainment value to my sillly mind .

He probably already voted so couldn't tell the mistake he made, but from what most people write, it seems to not matter that much, except in my case where I'd turn off both.

I use them to find who posters are. For instance, in A/C I know most posts with the Aussie flag are Skanky's, most with the Canadian are obiwan etc.

Some scientists are now saying this might be the best way to tell who is who.
