i agree about how nice 'self-policing' aspects can be when they're actually working, but people really do pay strict attention to posted numbers. somebody whines about a guy's newbie 30/60 post, and he says, 'but the small stakes forum description says 2/4 to 15/30!' i'm talking about the ones you see when you go to the forum list, not stickied ones. there are some definitions in those.

i think if it were as simple as 'mid stakes holdem: intermediate discussion' and 'higher stakes holdem: advanced concepts' or something like that it could work, but the phrasing would have to be done really well and there would still probably be some heavy lifting involved in terms of moderation (and the hurt feelings and bitching that goes along with it).
