When I first joined, my name was up in 'lights' on the front page under the 'our ten newest'

Due to the amount of banning and re-joining going on :
would it be possible to re-instate this list, as a quick and easy way to see who has joined recently.

At present, if someone re-joins, but does not post, they can still cause problems, yet they are harder to find without this little list

And what reason was there for stopping it in the first place ?
