No More White Belts - Page 24

Dude, everyone here was a white belt at some point..... did that make you post retarded comments?

I will add my opinion, and that is to NOT allow White Belts to start threads. This would save A LOT of resources for running the board, and will definitely make the board a lot more readable.

I've been a lurker since 2003, but just started actively posting in threads. This would be unfair to people in my situation

Keep it the way it is. White belts have made some very good threads.

All belt colors are full of trolls... just loot at the O.T. and the War Room.

Agreed. I've been on for almost two years, but don't feel the need to profess my greatness and infinite wisdom through my forum posting.

Most other boards I've frequented are boards that are dedicated to science (I am an engineer.) I've never once seen anyone equate post count to knowledge of anything. Not until I came to Sherdog. (I lurked for several years before joining.)

Well said...I mean I have been here sine 2003...and I JUST got my Yellow Belt, but I'm pretty sure my knowledge of MMA goes well beyond 90 something percent of the people on here. I enjoy reading posts, but don't feel the need to respond to EVERYTHING I read. If so, I'd probably have well over 50,000 posts by now. I mean look at the post counts of those guy that joined in 2008...already up into the 1,000s.

I was 20 when I watched my first UFC Live (UFC &...Buffalo)...and followed it before that and ever since.

Maybe instead of just not white belts adding a you have to have been here for say 3 months.
