Agree that the gold should stay, but I also think that, if they do, the previous winners of gold should be resurrected too .. e.g. Margaret Pilkington who lost her gold because we had an award ceremony the next year. No signs of us having any more .. so not fair that the present ones still hold their colour. Either that, or they all go back to their default earned status.
Perhaps we could just offer gold now for contributing a certain number of posts without getting banned ....
