The notion is that a new 'label' is given to people who cause concern on the forums.

Basically they are shown a pink warning card - that's in between yellow and red - and following this they are a "Pinkie" for a specified period of time.

Their name of course turns to pink.

Ladies and Gennelmen - it's YOOOOUUUR CALL, YUURE CHOICE.

(why thanks Hughie, but what happened to Murray Walker)

I'm all for different colours you see. I suggested that these 'trouble-makers' should be a: pinkie-with-yellow-dotsie because it would be funny and urine taking.

Or, they could be a yellow-with-black-dotsie. Then this would give the impression that they're poisonous. (to those who know about poisonous frogs)

I agree there are some possible problems, but I have to think it through fully. I'm not sure people would want to be a Pinkie (just for a lark) if they knew that the next step was to be banned. Therefore I think it could work with the right handling.

I totally disagree coz I'm bound to be pinkied some time or other!!

Nah, i like some of the ideas here, maybe pinkieing, having Under Caution as the tagline and having an official reason in the stats would be a good idea.

I agree with pinkieing.
