1. We might consider booting the odd Notable off the Notable list. But I'm not sure if it would be by democratic vote, as that would be very catty. A bit like Big Brother.

2. We might consider an interim status between the current range and banned. I favour "learner" for the status tag and pink for the name colour to warn of danger. We could call them "pinkies".

Changes would appear to be necessary to improve the written content.

Weren't us Notables voted as Notables for being who we are? So why think of us as behaving any different to before the votings? Sure, we change as our circumstances change - that's why I've not been online so much, I now work.

Maybe we could make it as if the forums was a sort of twisted RPG and have levels for everyone. Notables, pinkies, regs, jats, and noobs will still exist though. For example Meka Dragon would be level 324 because each GAD brings up your score by 10 points plus being a contibutive member gives you points to. Every hundred days you spend on the site will give you 30 points. And maybe each player could have a weapon card that they could use to destroy people they don't like........okay maybe not that idea.

This idea would be awsome even though it's pretty pointless besides the fun-factor. If they do do this they should start everyone off at level 0 and not be all complicated to fit everyone's current status. Like poo....


I'll be okay....:(

Goatboy's guide to becoming Notable:

Sign up
Talk rubbish
Shout at people a lot for being stupid
Come 3rd in 2nd election
Shout at people for being idiots
Get told off by Loki
Talk rubbish
Shout at people a lot for being stupid
Win 3rd Election
Get told off by Loki
Talk rubbish
Shout at people a lot for being stupid

The End.

Since when did becoming Notable mean we have to behave any different? I've lorded it above drooling bonobo's since I joined. Having a gold name and access to the GAD vault doesn't change a damn thing.

Now, how did that go?....



Step 1) - [er-no spams WLT with dozens of the same message]

Step 2) - "Sorry Tony, I promise I won't do it again, just don't ban me and let me have another chance" says er-no

"I'll let you off this time, but please do not do it again." replies Tony

Step 3) - repeat from step 1 until Tonys patience runs out :)

Pfff. I changed, but that was before I became a notable.

Only a few will actually remember.

I was such a rebel

I agree with Wookiee.

If any notables are dropped down to regular, they'll post in exactly the same way, which could well suprise some of the newer memebers.

Afterall, class is defined by actions, not the colour of my name :-)
