This is either a good idea or a terrible idea Laughing

One complaint that people express is that the forum has to many trolls and "N vs B threads" to be interesting. An idea to counter this is an Elite Forum. Only people with a certain rating are able to post there, say 2000+. And how about allowing diamond members there too? 

+ if you want to read high quality chess posts, you know where to look
+ could encourage high rated players to post and read more on the forum(s)

- could encourage some people to cheat 
- might make the rest of the forum (even) less chess-quality-post dense

Thanks for the freeze out.

Can I at least read it?

Yes, so that could be beneficial for the free and lower rated members as well.

Cool. I can't wait to learn so much.

Only problem is that the slightly under 2000 will be left with the annoying 1000s. Also the 2700+ in the elite forum would still consider 2000s extremely annoying. This is not enough segregation. We need a forum for every 5 rating point range. I think that way the players in each forum are close enough.

:D Well, first we'll have to get those 2700s to the forum before they can find anything annoying.

I agree that the Elite Forum could devaluate the rest of the forum. But may be the word 'forum' is not correct. I mean a category.
