"Forthcoming changes to the forums"

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.

No, I meant whoever has been the most chattable in the last week, eg, someone who raises interesting points and talks a lot with only the odd *pootles furiously* posts.

Oh I see. Yeah I think thats a good idea! It would encourage people who werent as recognised (Either GAD wise or post wise) to do more. Uhu!

hmm the Banned users are already grey!

Maybe Tony could change the Notable status to Legend

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 :-)

I'm going to feed my fish

Don't think the Notable Eviction would go down well with the Notables.

You meant it isnt already!?

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

also It I reckon ther'd be a lot of "Don't Evict Me" posts

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

I think all topics started by Tony should have a spangly banner around them.
