No, if I'm understanding this right, you have to be "followed" by a Gawker main page to get out of the gray.

The way I read it approved accounts won't be able to promote unapproved accounts.

Interesting. I didn't really read it closely. I just assumed it was going to be like it was before and approved people could promote comments and make them visible.

On the FP's only the authors can approve you.

Being followed by Gawker will be the new star.

Back in the day, I had a star on Gawker, Kotaku and Gizmodo. Never managed to crack Jalopnik or io9, but I don't think I was on io9 much at that point.
