Noobs in Vote Chess

Sort:

I have noticed a problem recently - the ratio of noobs* to "good" players in vote chess has been steadily growing - in the invasive species' favor. Noobs* voting for noobish** moves is hampering the progress of teams across the site recently. What are people's thoughts on this issue? Can it be stopped? Is there an anti-noob* spray that I can buy on ebay? Feel free to share your thoughts.

*Note the difference between noobs and newbs. Newbs are learning and are supported, but noobs are chess-disrespecting checkers-loving pests that hamper performance on chess.com and are an infestation that actual players are trying to avoid. Noobs are frequently trolls also, wreaking havoc from under their bridges.

**Noobish - Can describe any of three things: anything of or pertaining to a noob, the language of noobs, or dumb things that noobs do. In this case, it describes blunderful chess moves that these noobs play.

The noobs that partake in vote chess matchs do not create a problem that we should be concerned with. The majority of the votes are for logical moves. However, not all awful moves are voted for by noobs since voting for obviously horrible moves can constitute a form of harmless trolling. Just ignore the noobs; strong players who vote to win greatly outnumber them.
