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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.
