Maybe if the pro section was based on seniority, not actual skill on a scooter. So after you've been on the site a year or whatever you're allowed to be in the pro/not noob section. And during that year the noobs will be able to ask all their noob questions and learn what's up.

yes but noobs grow into ppl who know what they are doing on the site. eventually they wont be noobs anymore. what do we do about that? that would really limit new ppl

Why was the pro/noob thing removed before anyway? To avoid stupid arguments like "im enough pro, aint i? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz let me on pro forums"
Oh yeah, there must have been another billion reasons too why Andrew removed the pro/noob diffirent sections.

i voted no. i think its a stupid idea. if you are getting anoyed by somebody it is YOUR fault, not theirs. You are the one getting annoyed... You should make a section called "I'm a whiner and I'm annoyed but I think I'm cool cause I call myself pro"

i think there would be way to much "CaN I PlEaSe Be In ThE PrO SeCtiOn??!?!?!" and there would be alot of complaining. Plus there are some people who are new and read the forums and use the search bar, so not all noobs are bad and the people that respect other people, read threads, use search bar wouldnt like being in the noob sections because they dont deserve to be in it. plus there will always be noobs, we just have to live with it or find ways to get them to read the rules before they come on.

How about answering a set of questions to determine if you are a noob or pro. And the questions change everymonth and have only one chance a month to answer them. The questions would have to be pertaining to scootering trivia and situations where you would have to pick a way to solve it.

I voted no, for many reasons.

I wasn't around when SR was in Pro/Noob sections, but trust me, I've read enough old threads to tell that it was a bad idea. Nearly every thread turned into people arguing because somebody posted in the Pro forums and it just gets ugly. We certainly don't need that.

Another reason is because it basically segregates the "good" riders from the "bad riders". In a way, it makes noobs inferior to the advanced riders. It makes us unequal. And when the equality of a community is compromised than the community itself can be split apart. I know it sounds stupid, but its just like slavery. If you know your history than you'll know, when slavery was still legal back in the early 1800s the nation was split, slave states vs. free states. And of course, this lead to the Civil War. That is not the kind of thing SR needs.

And I also think the people placed in the noob section would always be complaining. There would be argument about where to draw the line between pro and noob.

So yeah, I think if SR was split again it COULD cause it's demise, but I don't think that would happen, because of our faboulous admin and mods.

just my 2 cents
