    Sbr john or sbr Lou or bill Dozer can you give sbr pros the option of making pro only

    Threads where only sbr pros can view and post thanks. Be like the green namers at the underground mma.tv would be awesome.

    What would the reasoning for that request? It would hurt the overall site and flow of info. Having said that I plan on going Pro in a couple of months. So I hope they do not honor your request to then.

    I think this may be a good idea though not completely convinced just yet. I cannot imagine people not visiting because there's a section devoted to SBR Pros. Everything else would stay exactly as it is but this would be a little spiff for the Pros.

    Evidently ESPN liked the idea as they have an ESPN Insider that you have to pay a small monthly charge to view. Yeah, I actually like this idea.

    Trust me it works check out the ug i can filter my post to who i want to see it no muds can pop in and out of your threads its an awesome feature. Doubt it would hurt site or flow guys would just find another thread

    Its just an option maybe an SBR Pro never uses it but is a nice option to have.

    We could make a PRO only forum if we wanted but I think all the pros would be back in PT. There are a lot of good non-pro posters just talking betting and not points.

    I belong to another forum....not sports...and they have a members only section. Just as much traffic as this place....and no one ever posts in there.

    Throw it down by the private zone, and make it very similar to private zone, where we can say/post whatever the FUKKK we feel like.

    And make sure non-pros can't even view the threads, so we can just rip on them all day long.

    In that particular sub-forum, I could kindly tell you to suck my dick, and not get an infraction.

    That would be a positive.


    We would all still participate in Players Talk, but then we could also have a R-rated forum for pro's to visit only. Not this pg-13 players talk bullshit (which I like) (but I'd enjoy being able to say c.u.n.t as well)

    Teaser makes a thread only sbr pros can see because teaser hit ”sbr pros only” setting you have option to do both one of the biggest if not the biggest mma forums has been doing this for years.

    i'd bet -300 that pro package distribution rates drastically increase if you do this.

    although some would of course play it down or predict otherwise. it will probably be sh*t but people wouldnt want to be forcibly excluded.

    Just the ability to make pro only threads in subforums and players talk would be nice dont need a whole pro only forum.

    I know for a fact memberships at the ug were boosted once this was an option you can get a green name for being a fighter for free you buy a blue name both have this ability or you can post as a mudnamer for free but you cant see green or blue if they dont want muds to see.

    the more pros try to prove they are better than non pros the more they prove how pathetic their lives are, its the same analogy as a deadbeat thinking he is better than everyone else just because he drives a better car than they do, only difference here is that the car is actually something of value and substance

    the number of sbr pros making threads every day crying about going broke/homeless is staggering

    I agree, make a separate forum were only broke pretenders will have access

    No, I don't think we should have pro only forums or threads but was thinking along the lines of PRO Only poker games with increased prizes or VIP access to pro handicapper write ups for which would people would ordinarily pay. Im sure there are many other spiffs but not a pro only forum as that would take away from PT.

    Whatever happened to the idea of having a tiered pro system depending on total $ deposited? BBD was looking into it

    Might be able to give a Pro user the option of Pro only replies? That way everyone could read the threads but only Pros could post in them.

    I doubt many would choose the Pro only replies option but we can experiment with it and see.

    That would be a good way to convert some people to becoming a Pro.

    I think this is a good idea...there have been so many fellow non sbr pro morons lately that it's really watered things down. If SBR Pros paid their dues, then they should have a special forum playground that excludes these morons from cluttering everything up.
