Part of the problem is that this, by and large, probably wouldn't happen. They would just go away.

And to be clear, it's not that we don't listen to the complaints from high rated players who want to play high rated games. The admins aren't willing to just completely unlock the rating limit tool, but other things have been done. @GoogleFrog has tried some technical solutions like !proposebattle and I set up Palladium regularly for months when Manu was organizing games.

To
put
it
another
way,
the
admins
are
not
inherently
opposed
to
the
concept
of
playing
moderate-sized
high-rating-only
games.
We
are
opposed
to
setting
up
the
rules
of
the
server
such
that
the
natural
flow
of
"individual
players
moving
to
the
room
that
is
most
fun
for
them"
is
going
to
lead,
a
significant
fraction
of
the
time,
to
there
being
no
reasonable
game
for
a
newbie
to
play
in.
That
natural
flow
is
*very*
hard
to
fight,
as
evidenced
by
the
long
list
of
failures
to
break
the
one
room
culture.

Why did they do it and why can't it be turned off?
