C'mon, banning low rated players from forums feels very unfair. I mean, when I started here, I was a 1400. If someone said that to me at that time, I would have been angry.

What about this idea..when the site is overloaded and the servers crashing, temporarily block the accounts of those with all ratings under 1000 😎😎

That will only do more harm than good.

That has the same energy as those stupid sites that force you to buy a membership to avoid being kicked out when traffic is high, absolutely not

Just when the site traffic is very high, as of now basically no one can sign in when it's down, so why not just temporarily cut the lower end of the playing field when nearing max capacity. Allowing the more interesting games to fill up the server space, vs the fried liver noobs that would get totally demolished by my Traxler CounterAttack 😎😎😎

How is this supposed to help if the slow network traffic is caused by a DDoS attack? Do you even know what a DDoS attack is?

Nope what's dat?

L petition. Sorry but this feels like it’s infringing in freedom of speech. I don’t agree with those threads for several reasons but I don’t think locking them is the right or reasonable answer.

201 read post #1 dude. I stayed directly in it that I don’t actually want them locked, the title is a mock satire of the way they title their threads

But advocating for the removal of low-rated players from the forums also infringes on their freedom of speech. A paradox we have here...

Paradox moment.
