Default Splitting up the forum into different levels

Would this be possible? Someone else mentioned this and I figured I would post it to get some feedback. Personally I'd like to see three levels of posting.

Low Level - $33 and under buyin
Mid Level - $55-$109 buyin
High Level - $215+ buyin

I'm a low level poster and would love to see a forum devoted for my learning and development as a SnG player.

This has been discussed several times in the past. Most have been against it because for one, most of the better posters would post in the upper limit forum. I think most of the good advice would disappear for the low level players. Also, if you aspire to move up, it's never too early to start reading strategy for the higher limits. A good SNGer should be able to beat every level and to do that, one must know the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between buy-ins. Also, lots of strategy overlaps between buy-ins. Personally I don't really see a need to split.

This is a good idea.

If there's a vote, I vote no.

There are poster's from each level I want to read and I don't want to check two forums.

That $215+ would be a real lively forum.

I assume this is sarcasm? And if it's not, it should be.

Yeah, it was sarcasm. The $215+ would die.

except for trolls - or lower limit wannabees

No offense, but this is the worst idea ever.

I really appreciate it when the higher level players have anything to say about one of my posts.

The "problem" with this forum is that so many of the top posters do not post as much anymore as they used to. Telling the best players that we don't want to hear from them is a terrible idea.

Just off the top of my head... Do you really think that Adanthar, PVS, Curtains, NegativeEV, Strassa, etc., etc. are going to bother slumming in the 33s and under forum or whatever?

Now, I kill the 11s and 22s but anyone who would rather hear my advice then theirs (regarding any game on any buy-in) needs their heads examined.

For every Gigabet "blocks" post that we struggle to understand coming from the top guys, there are countless "I've played 20 games and I'm concerned about my ROI" posts from the lower level guys. The best players are hardly the problem with this forum!

I play at the $11s but I think this is a terrible idea. I wouldnt want to lose the input of the higher level players and even though all advice doesnt apply to all levels I want to improve as a player and trying to work out which is good advice and when it applies to the levels I am playing makes me think more about the game and understand the principles involved on a deeper level.

If it were going to be done, I think

Low Buy-in: $55 and under
High Buy-in: $109+ (or actually anything over $55 in case there are some on other sites)

is a better split, but I give it thumbs down in any case.
