i have a quick question.....

why do some non-mod members have their name listed in grey rather than the usual green?

They also have "Non Politics"
along with their screen name.
Maybe it has something to do
with that? (Anyone?)

i just noticed that once u said it.

i will make an educated guess.  they werent appropriate in political threads and are banned from participating in them, rather than banned from the blog itself, kind of like flagging them.

That'd be my guess. What color do I come up as? Can I change my color, I want to be red. :D

I remember JR Giddens being banned
from the political forum with his
first post there. I think you're
absoluttely right.

  • Yup
yeh, there are different color codes for different levels of clearance to explore around the site.  Different mods, authors, etc... have different levels.  The grey does indeed mean that the member is restricted from the Current Events forum.
Yup

thks for the feedback redz.  i was just curious bc i had never noticed a grey color b4.  once acf said something about "no politics", a lightbulb flashed in my head, lol.


i didnt intend to put any member "out there" by bringing this up.  as i stated, i was just curious bc i hadnt seen grey b4.

this can probably be locked now that it has been answered.

I feel the same, not trying to single
anyone out for what they've said here
or whatever. Sincere apologies to JR!  :-[
