In summary, the conversation discusses a member being awarded a "God Father" trophy on the new version 4.0 of the forum after making a few spirited postings. The trophy brings to mind the sinister connotation of the term "Godfather" and some speculate that it may be earned by banning a certain number of people.

I got that trophy, too. It brought "Godfather" to mind, which to me has a rather sinister connotation.

I thought maybe it came from banning a certain number of people. :D
