The other thing is that if someone got handed out neg rep after just joining the forum he had to carry that red bar and the stigma that came with it while there's no public records (to the average user) of who got banned and when once the ban is over.
iirc weren't red bars ditched? Or at least you could only get up to one red bar no matter how low your reputation?

I agree with what you're saying though.
