This feature originally stemmed from sites like .is and .org, because there's a cultural "predisposition" to point out newbies (the whole point of being called a "greycel", because their username is the default grey), and is mainly used to outcast outsiders from entering the space. This concept goes against the culture we're trying to aim for which is why we didn't implement the static color progression and instead of used it as an "reward" system, similar to trophies.
