BUMP!

Super bump!

Bump, Signed, and totally agreed.

The ragebait from high elos proves exactly the opposite point that they try to make: Elo doesn't correlate at all to maturity. Higher intelligence people may have an advantage when starting to learn chess, but that is the starting line and where you actually go depends on your practice. Maturity and intelligence aren't even the same thing. Plenty of intelligent people are immature (cough cough). I'm really not sure why downvoted posts aren't getting removed. Ragebait may drive ad revenue, but more likely its just a bug.

I agree with @rgouh

100% Signed.

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 😎😎😎
