 * This interview from the Web Novel era, though still considered canon and only includes the parts that weren't reviewed in the Main Series era. When asked about orange cursors, Kayaba's character answered that for the first 3 infractions (that is not PK'ing, though PK through dueling is exempt because it is a "consent-given" form of HP drop), your orange cursor will revert back to green over time. The 4th requires a special Karma Recovery quest, and the 5th will be permanent.


 * Apparently, according to the page on the SAO Wiki, the over time is translated into "a few hours".


 * Again, according to {{SAOWikiAltName|Episode 8#Adaption Notes|Episode 8's Adaption Notes, the final point reveals that orange players cannot enter cities with an Area. The portrayal of PoH (the only LC member to be active in the field, according to the LC Crusade described in SAOII and Volumes 5 and 6) within Kamdet is "possibly a developer oversight... though it's also likely that PoH cleared his "Orange Player" status after Laughing Coffin's collapse" with the Karma Recovery quest I had recently stated. It is possible that PoH had only committed a total of 4 infractions, but I'm personally going for "developer oversight".
