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.

We could threaten them, or rather Tony could...

You meant it isnt already!?

I mean in the end aren't we just here to discuss videogames not backstab?

Not all of us. Alot of people come for the chance to win free games.

I think learner is a bit lenient for a status - it makes it sound like they are fine, just getting their way around. I favour something more like 'warned' or 'about to be ruthlessly evicted' or similar.
Inter notable evictions could work, but do we really want these forums to become a trail of bitterness and bargains? I mean in the end aren't we just here to discuss videogames not backstab?

I like the pink idea though - pinkies works too :-)
