In the list of players, some names are preceded by a little image, or icon.

	Gold star	Senior admin
	Silver star	Admin
	Sun	Subscriber to KGS+
	Gold crown	Winner of a KGS tournament
	Silver crown	Runner-up in a KGS tournament
	Computer screen	This player is not a person, it is a computer program or "bot"
	Red X	This is a player that you have chosen to censor
	Eye	This is a player that you have chosen to be a fan of
	Phone	This is a player that is using a cell phone client: don't expect much chat from him!
	Pedestal	This is awarded to the sole winner of the KGS Meijin Tournament.

Notes:

1. If an admin has won a tournament, you only see the star, not the crown.
   
   
2. If you censor, or become a fan of, a user who already has a symbol, the two symbols are superposed:   + = ,   + =
   
   
3. In Swiss and McMahon tournaments, you earn a silver crown by winning all your games. Also, you must play in every round. If you get a system bye, that counts as having played in that round. If you earn a gold crown, you do not also get a silver crown.
