Re: Sticky in the LHE forums identifying their decription
I really don't like this idea. People should post hands where they think is appropriate and if someone posts something that blatantly doesn't belong where they put it, mods can move it. This is how things worked before the new forums were added and it was good. Communities form naturally in each forum for the limits that are most appropriate. Over time, games change and so the boundaries of the forums need to move, and they evolve naturally as things shift. If you have an explicit list of what must go where, then you interfere with that. Even if it is only a recommendation, you end up with five posts saying "the sticky says blah blah blah, don't post that here" to anything that violates it.
Years ago, 10/20 hands went in mid-stakes. Over time, games changed and 10/20 was clearly more appropriate for small stakes, so people started posting the hands there instead. If there were a sticky saying that 10/20 belongs in mid-stakes, people would have kept posting the hands there and there would have needed to be a big discussion about "should 10/20 now be small stakes" and so forth. It's easier for everyone to just let people post where they want. I trust the participants of the forums and they tend to do the right thing.
