.. scrap them!
Of course by that I mean do away with newbie status.
I think it would encourage new users as they can enter tournaments right away, and it would once and for all deal with the endless moaning about "fake newbies" that crops up every day or two
There would still have to be a set number of games required before being allowed to post on forums to keep spammers at bay.

Agreed.
To many people moan about Newbie's even though there is basic ways of avoiding them, but im on side with this suggestion.

I think the 'newbie' modification works well, achieves what it aims to and should stay. With that in mind, I certainly agree that tournaments should be open to all players.
My own preference would be to do away with all the descriptions though - pro, virtuoso, adept etc - lose them all!!

Totally agree with the removal of newbie status, however this will never stop the multiple account users!
Of which I am sure that you are well aware of not only my opinions, but others alike...

Doesn't doing away with newbie status ruin the ranking system? You'll just lose millions of points to someone who is usually a virtuoso. Newbie modification prevents this.

keep the newbie modification - but allow newbies into tournaments like it used to be

Agreed but say I beat a pro...which occasionally happens...they only lose 0.somot points and I gain the usual amount. Seems fair

No way. You can't avoid who you play in tourneys and with all the resetters, deactivators, 2nd accounts, banned users coming back constantly the current system is definitely needed.

Allow newbie's in like it used to be?
Then the current rank system would be even more stupid as playing a newbie and losing the double points and stuff.

winning 0.5 and losing 6points in a tourny hmm... doesn't sound tempting at all....
Wasn't the whole idea of having friendly tourny's for guests and newbies to give them an incentive to sign up/ stay and constantly play?
To be able to make an account and straight away then start playing ranked tourny's doesn't seem appropriate tbh and i think you'll find another 50/50 split

You let newbies into tourneys then everyone will be resetting stats even more, if they are genuine newbies then they would need to get used to the game anyway and the micros are ideal for a bridge to the main tourneys.

also the newbieness bar to tournys was brought in for that purpose so many reset it would be a joke of a tourny playing as 860 vs 100 675 who reset each time they win a tourny or a set amount.
If your going to remove newbieness then they need to be set at a higher level for example now 750 is what you can sit on start them there to let them find their own ranking. The higher players then benefit as do the "newbies". Win win situation.
(aware the higher stats were mentioned on a previous post aint going to source though)

People will just keep resetting to gain loads of points in tournaments. That will really destroy the site IMO

If an 800.0 rank resets to 675.0 and beats a 790.0 rank, how many more points does he get compared to if he hadn't reset?

Exactly, in the first round of a marathon tourney a resetter could take 20 pts and when you're up to 850 or so that takes 20 games to get back even in tourneys!
