In the list of players, some names are preceded by a little image, or icon.
| Gold star | Senior admin |
| Silver star | Admin |
| Gold hexagon | 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 |
If an admin has won a tournament, you only see the star, not the crown.
If you censor, or become a fan of, a user who already has a symbol, the two symbols are superposed:
+
=
,
+
=
Sometimes it can be difficult to see what icons have been superposed.
Specifically about crowns: in Swiss and McMahon events, you earn a silver crown by being unbeaten (and not being exempted from any round) but failing to win outright.
