To be 500 all you have to is chomp on your opponent's hanging pieces like ur playing pac-man, it takes literally 0 effort or brainpower. If someone is under 500 they are quite literally brain dead or they don't know how the pieces move, and they clearly don't care about chess so they shouldn't be allowed on a CHESS forum. I have NEVER even seen a person under 500 elo contribute ANYTHING useful to the forums, the only forum activity I see from these people are stuff like complaining that the website is filled with hackers and bots when they lose or they are getting severely freaky in OTF. Not to mention basically every immature person and troll is under 500 (1000 at the most) or they have no games on their profile. I think restricting these user's access from using the forums would greatly benefit everybody else, and would also save server space and effort from moderators

Edit: I'm not trying to say I hate beginners, we are beginners at one point. But there is a CLEAR difference between being a beginner and under 500 elo. Most people when they learn the rules of the game start at 500 at the very least, even higher sometimes. Being under 500 means that you do not understand the rules of chess very well or you don't care about chess at all

Edit (again): I made a better suggestion here, where people can choose a minimum rating for people to comment on their forum posts, please read: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/site-feedback/the-off-topic-forum-needs-to-be-reworked-111428428

Are you an idiot?
