Dare I say it

I will also venture to say that people getting left out or small stakes players will strive to be invited to this forum

or, they will be so disgusted by the elite nature of the forum that they won't strive to be part of it at all.

some of these smaller stakes players will be future wsop champs. i'd hate to see them posting at p5's or cardplayer because they did not want to 'beg' to be on some special list at 2p2.

last i checked this was a discussion board open to poker players. the lack of further restrictions is what made this place what it is imo.

This is what I was thinking as well, but I am trying to have an open mind about the invite only method. I think self moderation is key here, and maybe a heavy hand by the mods at first. If a thread is too basic just move it over to MTTs and people will eventually get the idea.

I also don't like how moderators get to choose who can post in a strategy forum. With the EDF, its kinda a tangent forum designed for entertainment. 2+2 is about poker and the strategy forums shouldn't have those type of "gimmick" structures, even though it might actually have a positive result. I think that makes sense. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
