As some of you have already noticed, the colour for banned users has now changed from Red to Grey.



It's a small change to make, but we decided on this recently for clarity reasons. In fact, @Heiko already figured out the reason here:

I think the grey color is just a change from the usual "red one" as the moderators are already red and they shall not be confused with the banned members.

We want more distinction between user groups, and honestly, having the same colour mean that someone is a moderator and also that someone is banned wasn't as clear as we'd have liked.

Maybe we'll have more colour-changes in the future. Maybe.... Jr. VIPs will be Light Pink.

Nah... maybe not.

Not going to lie, when I would first notice a banned account I would say ???oh, there???s a MOD???, but then I???d realize it was a member that didn???t play by the rules and got the ban hammer.

Yea it was confusing sometimes while reading some old threads. We will get used to it, and after all, I think those are users not so important to notice them in threads, but the red color is very noticeable.

Oh shit I just noticed that "going grey" now means banned.

Which means all posts from the early days mentioning "going red" will now look like the former banned became mods.

check in few minutes you are going grey for asking a review copy before the banned seller offers one

I like the new term, "going grey".

I feel like there's a lot of potential there. Lots of jokes in there somewhere, I just can't think of any at the moment.

when @Zwielicht requests something it must be done right away, note these images are from google as Im not good with any photo tools, but im sure more memes will follow. @WilhelmScream i Feel light pink can be done as a April fool joke day, imagine all Jr VIPs waking up to light pink colour it???ll break BHW most AB2513CD-DFCA-4CB7-9673-9C5A69F8EF20.jpegAD980D9F-B783-40CB-BF85-188C81C4DF0D.jpegCF9997F5-CCC8-4DE0-9714-516A819BD405.jpegAEF85CFF-A3E9-42DB-A02C-4CF92EC161B0.jpeg

That's best. When I first see banned users a few years ago, I thought they were admins/mods :D
