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 admit I like the idea of having a set number of notables. That would stop the notables taking their status for granted and working hard to keep the place. Perhaps notable elections could take place more frequently too, say every 2 months.

There would be the election for people voting someone to be notable and the election of who shouldnt be a notable any more.

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.

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.

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.
