Default Re: A Post Splitting Suggestion for Elite Players-MLG et al

A similar system was put into effect where posters titles were different colors based on their forum status. This created great strife amongst posters and was quickly pulled. I don't see a system like this working in the best interest of the forum. Although it would be very informative and interesting to read it would also place a dividing line amongst the group.

Along these lines, however, something like the digest posts from the ring forums would probably be excellent - where the highest quality posts from the week are linked in a stickied thread so they don't get buried in forum oblivion. Another interesting thing going on over there is the "Curtains hand posts" - where Curtains allows a poster each day to pick through his HH files and pick hands that are interesting to post. Very neat stuff, especially when the hands are being posted by someone other than that player. The hand with the masters posts were great and got a lot of great posters involved, but I'm guessing Lloyd needs more hands sent in so he can pick some real gems to put through this process.

The ring forums are doing a lot of interesting things lately and I think we could probably employ some of their ideas with great success. We've also had a few steps in the right direction of our own and I think we should keep up with them. I don't think an "elite" posting status would be quite as successful or good for the health of the forum.
