Every night, at around 1am, the site has a technological update, when all the naughty people who sent apologetic and begging emails to the ed are reinstated, all the greenies with 14 days under their belt are turned grey, and hence can use report and rating options, and the site goes a momentarily blank shade of grey- soe of you will have experienced this phonemenon.
Some greenies due to go grey after 14 days will actually have their probationary membership extended to account for any misdemeanours, over zealous posting of offensive or inappropriate questions and/or answers and blatent impostering of other ABers.
Or for threatening to nick B00's fondent fancies......oooo then they never go grey mwahhhhhhh
