as you know there is a penalty system in place at GLOBOsapiens. Dubious behaviour or point grabbing leads to penalties in form of subtracting hundreds or even thousands of points from the coresonding member accounts. In adition to that, the penalty is labled inside the activity folder.
As some of you might know we had two such cases in the past five years. I believe it is fair to take points away and even lable that account, however most penalties in live are time limited. Our's havn't so been so far. This is changing now. The points are gone of course, but the red label inside the accounts will disapear automatically after one year. One year is a long time. People change and should get a second chance to build a good reputation without people point fingers at them because of a red lable.
Did you inform the members in question about the fact that the label has been removed?

@marianne: No I didn't so far. Not sure if I should or leave it to friends of the members as they might find better words than I can. Please let me know if you believe I am wrong.
It may be a good idea if you send them an official note, and friends send a friendly note (I don't mean to say that your note shouldn't be friendly of course).

This was an important improvement, in spite of the current problem. Jorge - do you have any other email address where you can contact. I am not asking you to disclose it if it's private.
