... members have made say 500, 750 or 1,000 moves.
That will get rid of so much dross from the forums.
The only forum newbies should have access to post in is the [b]help forum.

Many of them were paid subscribers but they are being removed for engine use etc. If so market driven why remove paying members?
Many of the multiple account holders are just doing so to fart about in the forums. Removing the ability to post in the forums until a certain number of moves have been made will stop these idiots from starting new accounts once banned, as they will need to make a prescribed number of moves before being able to post again.
This saves the admins time and therefore money. Adnins will then be able to concentrate on bettering the site rather than dealing with the idiotic multi account holders.
mr know it all elitist lol that surely has to be the overstatement of the year! Because I put forward an idea I become a knowitall elitist. < splits sides laughing >

removed from the site. But why should that have any affect on someone paying 60 bucks having to wait for your permission to have full accsee to the site? Of course it's a chess site, but THEY offer the forums also. Who are you to tell anyone what they should be doing on the site as long as it's not cheating. Oh yeah, using books, databases and whatnot is cheating in my moronic brain. Get down off your lofty perch dude, and. ah, startplaying more chess

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing you are against this suggestion.

I have been playing here well over four months and I have not completed 1000 moves yet. I don't think any new member should rush for their moves to post their opinion in the forums. A member is a member. There will always be abusers of some sort. This is inevitable no matter what.
Briefly, I disagree.

Newbies should actually have to play some chess first, as it would stop the random spam-spewing dropkicks like 7ate9 and company from accessing RHP and blazing away with whatever is annoying their tiny little brains at the time.
Yes is my vote, but ultimately it is a business decision, and we poor proletarian subs dont get a say in those areas.
......i must confess it is fun baiting my old kiwi mate though. 😳
