To 1900+ antichess players: Please do not play rated games against 1500?

The reason is the presence of alts. If you play a "newbie" and lost the alts gain a lot of points in just one game. If you keep not playing rated games against 1500? it will be harder for a new alt to climb up to 2300+.

BTW this is not my idea..it is a proposal from a Top 10 player (Jeff).
#2 I agree..Many 2300+ people sit with "1500?". There really should be minimum time limit, rated games limit, etc for antichess players to reach Top 100, 10 and 5.
I am a ≈500 antichess player, but I sit with 1158. =P
That's why I've stopped – I realised I'm a ≈500 antichess player.
#6 You really can not get worse than that too much..if you have time you should keep trying...I was kicked down to 1100-1200 even though I knew a bit of theory as Bulanukh and later rose up back to 1500 so I know what it feels like..

You will rise up.
The difference is that I played in tournies...so I played more experienced people and my rating dropped slower.
Thanks, Mr Cat! But I don't have any interest in antichess...
also the pairing system in tourney is not working. sometimes my first game is vs 2500 (when i am 1600) when there are plenty of 1600's
