Give us the option to opt out of playing against new accounts

bump

This is a huge issue in daily chess tournaments as well. Both live and daily tournaments attract cheaters for who knows what reasons (the "prestige" of winning a newbie tournament?).

So simply resigning against new accounts is not a solution. Also, even if they do get caught cheating and banned while the tournament is ongoing you get the rating back but you still have the loss in the tournament standings.

So I guess the answer is not to play bullet, not to play tournaments, and just let the smurfs have their fun and hope the regular players won't notice and/or get annoyed enough to unsub from this website?

Tournaments can restrict with a minimum number of games too, you can join one of those if you like.

I dont think bumping would lead to implementation of what you suggested

To avoid non-constructive comments do not ask anything on the open forum, ask the staff directly via the support option

Me: You said something stupid
You: Well actually it's your fault that I said something stupid

> Well actually it's your fault that I said something stupid

True, if you were not bumping this thread for 6 months with no positive outcome, there would not be non-constructive comments in it

I agree with OP
