In my opinion, Caro Kann is descent. I think this is soild for begineer like me. The only problem with caro kann is the advance variation can be a bit hard to play so i just invented a variation. This is the advance, en passent variation.
Suggestion: Ban the Caro-Kann Defense

In my club I have banned gambits even in informal games. There is a list of many forbidden openings. I know, there may be legal challenges to this policy but we are maintaining the "purity" of proper Chess. We just proposed a rule that a minimum of 1 e4 and 1...c6 openings must be played. Sometimes we do practice democracy but I'm mainly a benevolent dictator who demands love for my decisions.
Ban c6, e5/e6/d5/c5 are the B E S T
And in your second post you also wanted to ban the French Defense????

So... you want to completely ban an opening
Because you think it isn't good
I-
Isn't the point of banning something to stop people from using things that are too OP?
If you think it's so bad just... don't play it? Why would it need to be banned? Either that, or you just aren't very good at playing against it (you noted that people shouldn't play it against you because you are a 1000 earlier up in the thread) and you want things to be banned so that they can be "fair" instead of actually improving. In either case,
Get a life. Go touch grass.
They're going to have to do something about it, whether nerf it or ban it ban it altogether. It's free results, going against the whole philosophy of chess as a competitive endeavour.
There's a serious case to be made that people who play the Caro should be put in prison! I mean think about it, you sit down to play a nice game of chess and suddenly you're confronted with this. Indiscriminately playing it against women and children also, imagine if someone was already in a bad mental state, he looks up at the board, and he sees the Caro, could be enough to push anyone over the edge.
