If you censor, or become a fan of, a user who already has a symbol, the two symbols are superposed: + = , + =
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.
