Every day I see discussions about the changers in the F9 list on Discord. Some ask what the new symbols mean, some report bugs - such as player names staying red after a cycle and skull-icon not always visible when player is out.

I made this topic on the JCF, so that it doesn't go unnoticed by developers who are absent from Discord groups.

Thanks, these bugs have not been reported, so I've created threads for them so people can try to identify details.

This poll is well-intentioned but I caution that the results are going to be very blurry. Just guessing at a number, there are probably about a dozen different changes between the two list styles. If you like six of them and are less excited about the other six, how are you supposed to vote? It's the same problem as this poll which asks a single question about three separate settings.

I think for most people (at least for me) its mainly that the flag icon has been moved to the other side. People were used to looking right of a name for many years, now they have to look left. Also, the playerlist has been moved more to the center, causing it to be more of a hinderance. The new icons dont really improve our experience so we are perfectly fine without them.

The icon in the player list can be moved to the right of players in plus settings. Do you mean this?

Good point on the position of the player list being more of a hinderance.

I'm missing a 3rd option: improve new player list. Some changes have been welcomed, such as removing the S icon, removing the scores of spectators, changing plusicons into minus icons, and greying out the ms for spectators.

Some other things are still open for discussion and change. Nothing stops it from reverting some changes. That discussion is happening on GitHub but should probably move to JCF for a broader view.

This poll however is very black and white, and I definitely don't want to back to spectator icons and k/d, because they are pointless features.
