Petition to lock the various "ban low rated players from forums" threads.

81 exactly, it really does seem like that’s the core underlying problem

I have a few ideas as to how we could incorporate notes back into the new layout, so I made a quick image showing a few possible locations. I'd personally say that number 2 would work best, but what do you guys think?
83 bios should be tabbed for sure, that way everyone can see what they’re looking for without taking up more space
Bios/profiles
I think I’ll quote the best responses to such threads here since I’m blocked there.
“
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.”
Kavarin articulated this one very well, good job.

Kavarin really did a good rebuttal against the OP. I feel like the OP will just go like "Why are so many people complaining instead of chomping hanging pieces?".
Bump.
The other silly similar threads are the ones where the poster suggests something along the lines of “make all people above certain rating mods” or “demod all below x rating”
oh no! not another low rated player forum

I feel like the high-rated players who make those kinds of threads have some sort of superiority complex. They think they are better than the "low-ELO peasants."
No what I don't think I am superior to anyone else in any way, it's just I notice that most people who are under 500 rating tend to troll in forums or make pointless arguments that contribute basically nothing to the forums

That response didn't really make sense, because in fact most of the people under 500 rating starting pointlessly attacking me and the people who refuted my arguments were people above that. And the comic book thing makes no sense because people who read comic books don't harm anybody else while lower rated players ruin the forums experience for everybody, a better comparison would have been "This is like gatekeeping a library because someone screams really loudly every 5 seconds". Don't understand how saying I sound like a 400 elo makes sense if they are trying to defend people under 500 rating, I'm not being elitist, and removing one thread does basically nothing. A lot of these insults seem like ChatGPT too because that's the kind of stuff it gives you when it asks for insults and it didn't really make sense because ChatGPT doesn't know the full context of forums

I was U500 when I first started interacting in your forum, and I was respectful. Throughout the first half of your forum, it stayed mostly respectful aside from some snide remarks thrown back and forth between stern and another person. The last 3-4 pages are kinda just fueling the fire at that point. I dunno why people can't seem to let your forum die. It clearly serves no purpose and won't be implemented due to severe community backlash.
