Secondly, no, a sub-forum would in no way completely wipe out all trolls or idiots but if would greatly reduce them. Just by looking at the main page, anyone can see that the VAST majority of all posting takes place in the heavywieghts forum and to attempt a troll in a sub forum, where there is very little traffic, is not as appealing as the chances for success are greatly reduced. Furthermore, to discredit an idea simple because the likelihood of success is not 100% (in this case the removal of ALL trolls according to you) is completely idiotic. We might as well just give up all scientific and academic research according to your philisophy since the succes rate would not be guaranteed.

And no, I'm not asking them to troll in this thread. If that was a request for a troll, then every thread ever posted is a request for a troll. I simply posted an idea that others seem to agree with. The only one doing any insulting here is you.

I just don't see the point. We had one main MMA forum, people complained because they wanted sub-forums for individual discussions, we changed that and gave them what they wanted. We changed that when they complained that the forums were getting confusing for them. Now you guys want another forum.

The madness never ends

I agree that keeping everyone happy is an impossible task. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" is kinda the Sherdog motto. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there and see how many people agreed. If nothing else this thread has become a way for me to find out who else is interested in betting so that's a good thing.

Thsnks for taking the time to respond.

No problem, I will make sure my editorial assistant recieves all material prior to it being posted on this website.

I would support a betting sub-forum.

great idea. im interested in betting, but always get annoying bs responses like "he has no chance" or "betting is illegal".

I like the bettor forum idea. I was thinking about starting up a yahoo group for MMA bettors. Kind of like an invite only or word of mouth thing with people with good mma knowledge or specific knowledge of fighters or camps sharing information and opinions.

Anyone interested in this?

Sounds like a pretty good idea... Anything to cut through the BS of sherdog kids would be great...
