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.

:( I don't like the idea of this, unless it is as a warning, or because said notable doesn't post for a set number of days.

I think you should have status tag: Wanted :p

or more realistically On Probation, or something similar.

Cool, you should make it that the notables get to vote on the other notables to boot out. Controversial. I like it.

Pinkies - It is about time. You should make Bonus and Mystique pinkies too from er-no's vote thing ages ago.

Well you could always have a set number of Notables, one steps up as one is pushed down. But if so then make the elections more frequent, then more people can have a chance at being Notable.

Turning the notables on each other, great idea.

In a few months martial law will be declared as the forums plunge into a state of emercengy.

I like it to!

what about if somebody's close to getting banned but ain't quite there you could make their name RED or something like that!

Be a lot less tolerant with trolls. Starting using the royal foot a lot more ruthlessly. These boards have stupidly high numbers of people who post first, think never.
