Petition to shadowban all under 500 rated players from chess.com forums

Edit: I just realized that even though this change would make the forums a better place for everyone, the under 500s would still complain and they might stop buying memberships, which is why I think they should be shadowbanned instead so Chess.com doesn't lose any money.

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

Imagine writing an essay on how people under 500 are ruining forums, while singlehandedly proving that rating doesn’t correlate with maturity or contribution quality. This is like gatekeeping a library because someone reads comic books—bro, touch grass.

You typed a whole villain monologue just to say “I hate losing to beginners” like it’s some philosophical awakening 💀.
Calling beginners “brain dead” while sounding like a 400 elo villain in a chess anime? Iconic.
Elitism isn’t a chess tactic, bro.
And if server space is really the concern, deleting this post would be the real contribution to the forums.

You claim low-rated players add nothing, but this post might be the most useless thing I’ve seen all week.
Seriously, Chess.com could save more space just banning gatekeeping egos, not beginners.

Dude your argument makes no sense you just made up random things to attack me over instead of actually refuting my argument

You pretend you dont understand the most brutal argument here. Thats convenient lol

Because it doesn't make sense. The only thing low rated players did on this forum was attack and insult me for no reason while the only people who brought up good counterarguments were higher rated players, so I never proved that "rating doesn't correlate with maturity or contribution quality" (in fact the opposite was proven). Then he just wrote random things to attack me over, I never said I hated beginners or losing to them, I don't know what calling me 400 elo is supposed to do if he's trying to say that rating doesn't matter, and deleting one forum does absolutely nothing in terms of saving server space. Also these insults seem like something ChatGPT would make, just saying
