Can there be a way to reset your rating?

How would you feel if you got paired with a really good player who just reset their rating and you lose your ELO? And this is not how chess works.

That's not something that's going to happen. Ratings are meant to provide appropriate pairings based on previous performances. If you really want a reset, you can close your account and open a new one, but you're very likely going to end up within 100 of your current rating every quickly.

I do not think that there is (or should be) a way to reset your rating. For example, if my rating went down, I could just reset my rating so that it looks like my rating is higher than it actually is. Another problem with rating resets is it could be used to lower one's rating so that they can win more games and advance through the leagues very fast.

Bad idea. That is counted as sandbagging and could result in account closure.
