Idea: Big Brother/Little Brother

[Tupacia]

As the SSNL forum has obviously exploded recently, I think we need to consider innovative ideas besides the standard "post troubling hands" as while still a great tool for getting better, many hands often disappear into the clutter of the forum without so much as a response or active discussion. Going along with Gregatron's great idea for public session review, I think having a sort of system whereby newer players can have a sort of poker mentor on the forums for session review, general questions, etc. would be incredibly beneficial. Yet, the crux of my idea is that people can only be mentored if they themselves are mentoring somebody else. For instance, I am a winning player at NL25, and in order to receive the privilege of being mentored by someone better than me, I would have to mentor a player at say NL10. Now obviously, only people who are reasonably active in the forums should be allowed to take part. As an added side benefit, this may reduce the amount of clutter on the forums as posters may turn to their mentors first to get their obvious questions answered instead of starting another "what does VP$IP mean" post. As it is completely voluntary, nobody would be forced to do it thus ensuring that people participating would be committed. What do you guys think?
