An idea (ATTN: Bison)

[Piiop]

I think only allowing certain posters to use it is a bad idea. Like CDC said, it would create a converter club and possibly exclude a lot of good posters. Also, some hands may be interesting/helpful to one person but not very interesting/helpful to others. People who post here are at many different levels of the game and everyone is trying to learn. Excluding posters from using such a valuable tool would be unfair.

I do agree that it sucks that posts get buried so quickly, but I'm not sure stopping the converter is a good solution. I think the problem comes from so many new members more than it does from the ease of posting by way of converter. I don't think anything can be done about so many new members.
