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.

Yeah that sounds good, and poster of the week will turn silver for the next week, that'd be cool, just like GAD, except it's not as good, but at least you know you aren't going unrecognised.

I think Notables should be called Gurus.

No because people like Gerrid spam their way to the top. I have been consecutively 5th for about a month though!

Doing that would encourage spammers more though, dont you think?

or perhaps allow some html, such as font colour, uitalics and href's, that'd be much better, then I could EMPHASISE my things without using BOLD letters which SUBCONCIOUSLY alter your MIND

Calm down you.

If people were alloed to change their name the forums would be harder to read and n00bs would upload rude pictures *claps hand to mouth* into their screen names.

Humm...I'm okay with them, I guess.

Although Aliboy trying to make controversy by getting Notables to vote for Notables isn't in my favour. {:)

Unless Stryke becomes Notable. ;D
