We have, for many years initiated on Driver Heaven the option for a small handful of members to rise to the elite rank of "gold member" - there are normally no more than 20 members on Driver Heaven at any given time with this mantle. People who get this award are the cream of the crop and have earned by it site dedication in some way. They get oversized avatars, gold lettering on their account, private forum access (often not always), as well as flash signature images if they wish.

Today we decided to open a new class called "sinbinned" members. These guys (or gals) are people who regularly dice with banning, skirting site rules and get on many people's nerves, frequently the staff.

So to "award" these people, they get moved into a new category which has many benefits.

1: massively negative rep count.
2: forced avatar to suit their personality.
3: gay pink lettering.
4: humourous account hacks.
5: unable to make any account changes.
6: no signatures
7: a loss of self esteem.

So how long does this last? well as long as I feel its necessary, with them either rectifying their attitude and posting and going back into a normal category, or as will be the case a site removal if the attitude gets worse.
